Theory of localized bipolar wave-structures and nonthermal particle distributions in the auroral ionosphere
Bipolar wave structures and nonthermal particle distributions measured by the FAST satellite in regions of downward current are interpreted in terms of the nonlinear evolution of a two-stream instability. The instability results in holes, both in the electron distribution in phase space and in the e...
