Simulational studies of the Farley-Buneman in the equatorial electrojet

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/86924· OSTI ID:86924
The Farley-Buneman instability in the equatorial electrojet current system in the E-region of the ionosphere has been identified as the cause of the observed Type I electron density irregularities. The goal of this work was to study the instability in the equatorial region.
