▼a The Sun ionizes a small fraction of Earth's atmosphere above roughly 60 km, producing the plasma that constitutes the ionosphere. Radio signals passing through the ionosphere scatter off of plasma density structures created by the Farley-Buneman instability (FBI). While numerous studies have characterized the FBI's intrinsic nature, its evolution within the broader context of the surrounding plasma remains enigmatic. This dissertation answers two fundamental questions about the FBI: How does it interact with density gradients? How does its non-linear evolution depend on the background plasma?The fourth chapter examines the combined development of the FBI and the gradient drift instability (GDI) using a 2-D simulation of the equatorial ionosphere. A half-kilometer wave perturbs a plasma layer perpendicular to the ambient magnetic field, causing the perturbed layer to develop GDI waves along the gradient aligned with the ambient electric field, as well as FBI waves in a region where the total electric field exceeds a certain threshold. Early radar observations suggested that these two instabilities were distinct phenomena |
