Scientific paper

In regions where lower hybrid solitary structures (LHSS) are observed, the character of auroral lower hybrid turbulence (LHT) (0\--20~kHz) is investigated using the amplitude probability distribution of the electric field. The observed probability distributions are accurately described by a Rayleigh distribution with two degrees of freedom. The statistics of the LHT exhibit no evidence of the global modulational instability or self-similar wave collapse. We conclude that nucleation and resonant scattering in pre-existing density depletions are the processes responsible for LHSS in auroral LHT.
