A Review of Anomalous Resistivity for the Ionosphere,
Abstract
This report is written for nonspecialists. The primary goal of the report is to provide a review on the nonlinear theory of conventional and unconventional forms of anomalous resistivity from a unified point of view and analyze the strengths and weaknesses of each mechanism as applied to ionospheric phenomena. Topics discussed include the following: Classical resistivity; General formulation of resistivity; Anomalous resistivity due to current driven instabilities; Anomalous resistivity in plasmas stable to current driven instabilities; Production of runaways; Ionospheric and magnetospheric observations and theories related to anomalous resistivity.
