A Study on Instabilities and Nonlinear Wave Energy Exchange Process in Terrestrial Ionospheric Plasma

Abstract

From ground and satellite based observatories, various forms of nonlinear effects and plasma waves instabilities are observed in the Earth’s ionosphere. In this paper we present a brief review on nonlinear wave-particle interaction energy exchange mode plasma maser instability and on probable growth rate of high frequency non-resonant waves at different regions of the Earth’s ionosphere.
