Saturation of the Farley-Buneman instability via three-mode coupling
[1] Characteristics of type-1 radar echoes obtained from the E region ionosphere have yet to be conclusively explained. The dynamical properties of the saturated state of the FarleyBuneman instability are widely thought responsible for these type-1 echoes. In this paper we present a different perspective and new details on a previously proposed three-wave coupling mechanism (Otani and Oppenheim...
متن کاملLow-rank approximation in the numerical modeling of the Farley-Buneman instability in ionospheric plasma
We consider the numerical modeling of the Farley-Buneman instability development in the earth’s ionosphere plasma. The ion behavior is governed by the kinetic Landau equation in the four-dimensional phase space, and since the finite difference discretization on a tensor product grid is used, this equation becomes the most computationally challenging part of the scheme. To relax the complexity a...
متن کاملSaturation of the Farley-buneman Instability via Nonlinear Electron Eb Drifts
The Farley-Buneman instability is a collisional two-stream instability observed in the E-region ionosphere at altitudes in the range 90-120km. While linear theory predicts the dominant wavelengths, it cannot fully describe the behavior of this nonlinearly saturated instability as observed by radar and rocket measurements. This paper explores the nonlinear behavior of this phenomenon and the res...
متن کاملModeling the Solar Chromosphere
Spectral diagnostic features formed in the solar chromosphere are few and difficult to interpret — they are neither formed in the optically thin regime nor in local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE). To probe the state of the chromosphere, both from observations and theory, it is therefore necessary with modeling. I discuss both traditional semi-empirical modeling, numerical experiments illustrat...
متن کاملThe prolate solar chromosphere
We present a comparative analysis of the chromospheric solar limb prolateness, using strictly simultaneous Hα ground-based observations and HeII space-based observations. The typical prolateness is found to be ∆D/D = 5.5 × 10−3 in HeII and 1.2 × 10−3 in Hα. The first measurements in the 30.4 nm HeII line over a period of two years, as well as coronal data, are discussed to explore further the o...
