New insights from a nonlocal generalization of the Farley-Buneman instability problem at high latitudes
When their growth rate becomes too small, the E-region Farley-Buneman and gradient-drift instabilities switch from absolute to convective. The neutral density gradient is what gives the instabilities their convective character. At high latitudes, the orientation of the neutral density gradie...
