Turbulence in an inhomogeneous ionospheric plasma and charged particles fluxes based on Cosmos-900 satellite data
Abstract
The excitation of electrostatic turbulence in an inhomogeneous plasma is calculated analytically from the Cosmos-900 measurements of charged particle fluxes (electrons and ions with energies of 0.1-20 keV). The results suggest the presence of a large-scale component in the structure of electrostatic turbulence.
