Book Description
Experimental evidence is presented on the effect of the finite width of the current channel for the excitation of the current-driven ion-cyclotron instability. The results are in agreement with the nonlocal theory of Bakshi, Ganguli, and Palmadesso. Since their discovery over two decades ago, ion-cyclotron waves have been an area of active research in the laboratory, in the ionosphere-magnetosphere, and in the solar corona. The current-driven ion-cyclotron wave instability received its first theoretical treatment in the (local) theory of Drummond and Rosenbluth, appropriate to a uniform, magnetized plasma, without magnetic shear, in which electrons drift along B field lines with the same drift velocity v(D), at all points in the plasma. Their treatment, however, could not allow, among other things, for the effect that the finite width of the current channel of most laboratory experiments has on the excitation of the instability. This has been considered in the nonlocal theories.

Book Description
Although interesting in its own right, due to the ever-increasing use of satellites for communication and navigation, weather in the ionosphere is of great concern. Every such system uses trans-ionospheric propagation of radio waves, waves which must traverse the commonly turbulent ionosphere. Understanding this turbulence and predicting it are one of the major goals of the National Space Weather program. Acquiring such a prediction capability will rest on understanding the very topics of this book, the plasma physics and electrodynamics of the system. - Fully updated to reflect advances in the field in the 20 years since the first edition published - Explores the buffeting of the ionosphere from above by the sun and from below by the lower atmosphere - Unique text appropriate both as a reference and for coursework

Book Description
The Earth's Ionosphere: Plasma Physics and Electrodynamics emphasizes the study of plasma physics and electrodynamics of the ionosphere, including many aeronomical influences. The ionosphere is somewhat of a battleground between the earth's neutral atmosphere and the sun's fully ionized atmosphere, in which the earth is embedded. One of the challenges of ionosphere research is to know enough about these two vast fields of research to make sense out of ionospheric phenomena. This book provides insights into how these competing sources of mass, momentum, and energy compete for control of the ionosphere. Some of the topics discussed include the fundamentals of ionospheric plasma dynamics; equatorial plasma instabilities; high-latitude electrodynamics; and instabilities and structure in the high-latitude ionosphere. Throughout this text only the region above 90 km are discussed, ignoring the D region entirely. This publication is a good source of information for students and individuals conducting research on earth's ionosphere.
