PARAMETRIC EXCITATION AND SUPPRESSION OF CONVEC1IVE PLASMAINSTABILITIES IN THE HIGH LATITUDE F-REGION IONOSPHERE

1. INTRODUCTION

Using a variety of experimental techniques, e.g., satellites [Dyson,

1969; Dyson et al., 1974; Sagalyn et al., 1974; Clark and Raitt, 1976;

Phelps and Sagalyn, 1976; Rodriguez et al., 1981], rockets [Olesen et al.,

1976; Ogawa et al., 1976; Kelley et al., 1980], scintillations [Aarons et

al., 1973; Fremouw et al., 1977; Erukhimov et al., 1981], and radar

backscatter [Weaver. 1965; Greenwald. 1974; Hower et al., 1966; Vickrey et

al., 1980; Hanuise et al., 1981], it is now known that the high latitude

ionosphere, from the auroral zone into the polar cap, is a highly

structured and nonequilibrium medium containing irregularities (plasma

density fluctuations and structures) with scale sizes ranging from hundreds

of kilometers to meters. Aside from being an interesting scientific

phenomenon, ionospheric irregularities are of practical interest since they

can disrupt transionospheric radio wave communications channels (see recent

review by Davies [1981] and references therein).

Several theories, e.g., particle precipitation, plasma instabilities

and processes, and neutral fluid dynamics have been proposed to account for

high latitude ionospheric irregularities (see recent review by Keskinen and

Ossakow [1983a] and references therein). Recently, considerable

quantitative progress has been made, especially in the area of ionospheric

plasma instabilities, in identifying the physical processes that can lead

to high latitude irregularities. In particular, convective plasma

instabilities such as the E x B gradient drift instability [Simon, 1963;

* Linson and Workman, 1970; Keskinen and Ossakow, 1982, 1983b] and current

convective instability [Lehnert 1958; Kadomtsev and Nedospasov, 1960;

Ossakow and Chaturvedi, 1979; Chaturvedi and Ossakow, 1979; Keskinen et

±1.p 1980; Chaturvedi and Ossakow 1981] have been invoked to explain high

latitude density irregularities in and near large scale convecting auroral

plasma enhancements [Vickrey et al., 1980].

However, it is well known [Silin, 1965; Dubois and Goldman, 1965;

Nishikawa, 1968] that under the influence of high-frequency long wavelength

elentromagnetic fields electrostatic modes of oscillation in a plasma may

become parametrically coupled and may grow exponentially in time or space

before saturating at large amplitudes. These results have been used by

many investigators [see reviews by Perkins et al., 1974, Fejer 1979 and

references therein] to study the role of parametric instabilities, induced

by high power ground based radars, in ionospheric modification. In jaddition, parametric effects have been used to study the possible

stabilization or destabilization of plasma instabilities, e.g., drift waves

[Fainbers and Shapiro, 1967; Sundaram and Kaw, 1973] by high frequency

electric fields. Lee et al. [1972] have shown that high frequency

electromagnetic waves launched from ground based heaters might lead to

stabilization or destabilization of the Farley-Buneman and gradient-drift

instabilities in the equatorial electrojet E region ionosphere. In this

paper we show that the E x B gradient drift and current convective

instabilities in the high latitude i region ionosphere can be stabilized or

destabilized by high power radio waves. In section 2 we outline the theory

of the E x B gradient drift and current convective instabilities in thepresence of a high frequency electromagnetic pump wave with frequency near

the local upper hybrid frequency. We calculate the incident power density

required to stabilize or destabilize these instabilities. Finally, in

section 3 we summarize and discuss our results.

2. THEORY

For wavelengths greater than the ion mean free path we use fluid

equations to describe the ion and electron plasma. The following geometry

is used: the y-axis is in the north-south direction, the x-axis points

west, and the z-axis is along the magnetic field. The set of equations, in

.4 the frame of reference in which the neutrals are at rest, become

The equations (9)-(11) can be reduced to a single equation (dispersion

either the lab or oscillating frame; and one may eliminate the electron

density, eliminate the ion density, or (using Poisson's equation) eliminate

both densities in favor of the electrostatic potential. We will work in

the oscillating frame [Silin. 1965; Arnush et al., 1973; Lee et al., 1972]

to find the density perturbations, eliminate the electron density, and

finally transform back to the laboratory frame to use Poisson's equation.

Having found the susceptibilities in the oscillating frame we must now

we will be considering high frequency pump waves with w > > W one can

neglect the effect of the pump on the ions.) This transformation and

When 6 > 0, i. e. , when w 0 the pump induced term produces a

magnetic field (k << k )exceeds the length of regions in which

destabilization (6 > 0) or stabilization (6 < 0) occurs. The pump induced

-'term in eq. (18) contains terms proportional to wpe, an increasing5ie

(decreasing) function of altitude on the bottomside (topside) ionosphere,e.g., w2 (z) = w2(1 + z/LN) with LN constant, in local bottomside

regions. In addition, Das and Fejer (1979] have shown that the altitude

dependence of the pump wave electric field near the resonance region must

also be considered. As a result, a net destabilization (stabilization)

will occur in bottomside regions if the pump electric field increases

(decreases) with height in the resonance region. For topside regions, the

opposite is true. For simplicity, in this discussion, we have neglected

the effects of spatial dispersion. Spatial dispersion will cause a

resonance at a somewhat lower height than when w° -(W2 + 12)1/2 Thepe e

physical mechanism responsible for stabilization or destabilization of

these convective instabilities can be understood as follows. A nonlinear

interaction between E x B and current convective perturbation electric

fields 6K and the pump field E gives a new field E. The combined beating

of the fields E' and E can produce a low frpquency force with component of

the form exp[i !.LLxwt + 8)], k - + k p, wL - w' + p, with phase

determined by the sign of 8, which can in turn affect 6E and modify the

dispersion relation. This force will be pondermotive if kLj > 1.55/x c

whereas the partial pressure force will dominate if k! < 1.55/Xc [Fejer,

*1979]. Here A is the electron mean free path and kL the component ofc a

parallel to the magnetic field. We take k - kxx + kzz, an ambient

electric field Eox, and N - No(y), i.e., a configuration unstable to the E

x B and current convective instabilities. The growth rate in (18) is

maximized for x a - + 80 + (ve/Wo) (w2 - 2w2 ). Inserting this-a o t(ei o pe 0

Here the upper (plus) sign refers to the case when 6 > 0 (destabilization)

kL = 2 x 10, k - 30 m, kz/k ! 10 we find from (22) the

approximate power density for stabilization to be cE2 /8w t 6 x 10 2W/mpThis is an overestimate since we have not considered electric field

enhancements near the reflection point [Ginzburg 19641. For an linearly

damped mode k-1 - 5m, we find, using eq. (22) the approximate power densitynecessary for destabilization (6 > 0) to be cE2/8w 3.2 x 10-4W/m 2

pThis power density corresponds to a pump electric field amplitude of

E p= 1.5 x l0-2V/m. This electric field amplitude is comparable to that

required by the thermal coupling mechanism of Vaskov and Gurevich [1975,m1977] and Das and Fejer [1979] to destabilize field-aligned density

irregularities with scale lengths on the order of 0.5 - 5m. In reality,

both the mechanism discussed in this paper and thermal mechanisms are

probably acting simultaneously. From the coupling parameter as given by

(19) we see that there must be a component of E perpendicular to B

since k /k<< 1. At high latitudes this can be accomplished using a

vertically incident pump wave. An 0-mode pump wave is preferred since the

X-mode will be reflected at the right hand cutoff before it ever reaches

the coupling region near the local upper hybrid frequency.

3. SUMMARY

The parametric effects of a large amplitude electromagnetic pump wave

on convective plasma fluid instabilities (E x B gradient drift and current

convective) in the high latitude F region ionosphere have been studied

analytically. These convective instabilities have been invoked (Keskinen

and Ossakow- 1982] to explain naturally occurring density irregularities in

8

Page 14: PARAMETRIC EXCITATION AND SUPPRESSION OF CONVECTIVE i ... · INSTABILITIES IN THE HIGH LATITUDE F-REGION IONOSPHERE 1. INTRODUCTION ... structured and nonequilibrium medium containing

and near large scale convecting auroral plasma enhancements [Vickrey et

±a.., 1980]. We find that parametric coupling effects associated with a

pump wave oscillating with approximately the upper hybrid frequency can

stabilize or destabilize the E x B gradient drift and/or the current-

convective instability. For parameters typical of the nighttime high

latitude F region ionosphere, we find that these modes can be

stabilized/destabilized with a free space incident power density on the

order of 10-Wm 2 Since the pump wave should have a component of its

* electric field vector perpendicular to the magnetic field, a vertically

propagating 0 mode is suggested. In addition, we note that these power

density levels needed could be achieved using current ionospheric heaters

* located in Norway [Stubbe et al., 19811 and Alaska [Wong et al.. 19811.

In our development we have made several approximations. We have

assumed that *the pump electric fields are spatially uniform (dipole

approximation). We have ignored pump induced temperature and density

changes. The time scale for these changes, to a firit approximation, is

longer than the parametric time scales of the instabilities studied here.

- In addition, we have neglected lower altitude absorption effects. Finally,

we have assumed that the instabilities studied here are at or near marginal

stability. We reserve these topics for a future report.
