Scientific paper

We discuss various nonlinear mode-mode coupling processes, involving the interaction of high-frequency Langmuir waves with low-frequency Alfven waves, which may play a role in the generation of solar radio emission. We treat the case wherein all the interacting waves are field-aligned. Traditionally, it is believed that the Langmuir-ion acoustic turbulence is the dominant mechanism for Langmuir waves to dissipate energy in a plasma. We propose that the Langmuir-Alfven turbulence may also be an efficient mechanism for dissipating Langmuir wave energy in solar plasma. The electromagnetic electron cyclotron waves emitted by the Langmuir-Alfven turbulence provide the electromagnetic signatures of the energization processes taking place in the solar corona and the solar wind.
