We review the experimental observations of meter scale plasma irregularities in the auroral
E region and the status of their theoretical understanding. Most of the experimental data is …

Low-frequency electrostatic drift wave turbulence has been studied in both laboratory
plasmas and in space. The present review describes a number of such laboratory …

The linear stage of the Farley‐Buneman instability in the ionospheric E region is
reexamined. Unlike previous theories, the present analysis is based on a consistent kinetic …

Currents flowing in the Earth's ionospheric electrojets often develop Farley-Buneman (FB)
streaming instabilities and become turbulent. The resulting electron density irregularities …

Numerous radar observations demonstrate anomalously strong electron heating in polar
electrojets during magnetic storms. The effect often correlates with the onset of the Farley …

The principles of coherent backscatter from irregularities created by plasma instabilities in
the ionospheric E-region are described in this paper. It is intended as an introduction for …

Many types of coherent radar spectra have a width in Doppler velocity units that is less than
the ion acoustic speed of the medium. In spectra labeled as type 1 the mean Doppler shift of …

The Ionospheric Continuous-wave E region Bistatic Experimental Auroral Radar (ICEBEAR)
is a coherent scatter ionospheric radar. It operates at a frequency of 49.5 MHz, which is ideal …

Radars frequently receive strong returns from naturally occurring plasma density
irregularities centered around 100km altitude in the atmosphere. These E-region …
