Evaluation of a space-observed electric field structure for the ability to destabilize inhomogeneous energy-density-driven waves
We examine the effectiveness of nonuniform, quasistatic, transverse electric fields that are often observed in the auroral region in destabilization of inhomogeneous energy-density-driven (IEDD) waves. Specifically, the IEDD dispersion relation of Ganguli et al. (1985a, b) is evaluated for an ele...
