Geophysical Plasmas and Atmospheric Modeling.

Abstract

In the following subsections we will describe the major accomplishments in each of the following research efforts: (A) magnetospheric computer simulation, (B) non-linear saturation and transport via the lower hybrid drift instability, (C) the current driven ion cyclotron instability, (D) tearing-mode stability properties of an anisotropic plasma layer, (E) analyses of high latitude irregularity phenomena, (F) auroral plasma transport, (G) the EXB instability, (H) the morphology of a multi-bubble system in the ionosphere, (I) double layer simulations, (J) anomalous resistivity of auroral electrons, (K) energy exchange in the Io plasma torus, (L) uranium cloud modeling, (M) NRL Laser/HANE experiment support, (N) fractal theory applied to striating ionospheric plasma clouds, (O) elf/vlf wave generation, (P) ozone transport in the lower atmosphere and, (Q) stratospheric dynamics.
