摘要: It has been suggested that auroral backscattering of radio waves in the frequency range 100–800 Mc/s is a consequence joint action turbulence and earth's magnetic field, which was assumed to produce small-scale elongated irregularities ionization lined up with field. In present work we investigate solutions equation for diffusion transport weakly ionized turbulent plasma presence ffeld. Because space charge effects, problem nonlinear density n(x, t). We show linearized approximation effect field on does not lead scale sufficiently small explain observed data. Nonlinear effects may play role are being investigated. Preliminary results they indeed capable increasing gradients sufficient amplitude.
