The modification of the ion-acoustic wave dispersion under the action of a high frequency electric field was studied experimentally, the wave propagating along and against the plasma stream. The frequency of the field amounted to approximately half the electron plasma frequency. It was found that the phase velocity of the ion wave and the plasma drift velocity decrease as the effective high frequency field power increases

A previously proposed model of radio aurora is developed further and is used to relate and explain data obtained during an event described by Hofstee and Forsyth. The basis of the model is the two-stream, ion-acoustic wave instability. Although the model explains this particular event very well, attempts to apply it to certain other experimental situations have resulted in unresolved difficulties. These are discussed briefly.During the Hofstee and Forsyth event a geomagnetic bay was observed north of the scattering region. An explanation of this bay using the electric field deduced from the radio backscatter data required the assumption of a polarization field within the band of enhanced plasma associated with the visual aurora present at the same location (Boström's model 1).

Abstract. Observations of naturally enhanced ion acoustic lines (NEIALs) taken with the Poker Flat Incoherent Scatter Radar (PFISR) using a mode with very high time resolution are presented. The auroral event took place over Poker Flat, Alaska on 8 February 2007 at 09:35 UT (~22:00 MLT), and the radar data are complemented by common-volume high-resolution auroral imaging. The NEIALs occurred during only one of the standard 15-s integration periods. The raw data of this time show very intermittent NEIALs which occur only during a few very short time intervals (≤1 s) within the 15-s period. The time sampling of the raw data, ~19 ms on average, allows study of the time development of the NEIALs, though there are indications that even finer time resolution would be of interest. The analysis is based on the assumption that the NEIAL returns are the result of Bragg scattering from ion-acoustic waves that have been enhanced significantly above thermal levels. The spectra of the raw data indicate that although the up- and down-shifted shoulders can both become enhanced at the same time, (within 19 ms), they are most often enhanced individually. The overall power in the up-and down-shifted shoulders is approximately equal throughout the event, with the exception of one time, when very large up-shifted power was observed with no corresponding down-shifted power. This indicates that during the 480 μs pulse, the strongly enhanced ion-acoustic waves were only traveling downward and not upward. The exact time that the NEIALs occurred was when the radar beam was on the boundary of a fast-moving (~10 km/s), bright auroral structure, as seen in the high resolution auroral imaging of the magnetic zenith. When viewed with high time resolution, the occurrence of NEIALs is associated with rapid changes in auroral luminosity within the radar field of view due to fast-moving auroral fine structures.

We study the stability of positive radially symmetric solitary waves for a three dimensional generalisation of the Korteweg de Vries equation, which describes nonlinear ion-acoustic waves in a magnetised plasma, and for a generalisation in dimension two of the Benjamin–Bona–Mahony equation.
