Scientific paper
The nonlinear theory of conventional and unconventional forms of anomalous resistivity is reviewed and strengths and weaknesses of each mechanism at work are analyzed with attention centered on ionospheric phenomena. Questions addressed include: relationship of an electric field parallel to the magnetic field of the plasma to the observed current, and energy distribution of the current-carrying electrons; computation of anomalous resistivity and classical resistivity; relation of mechanisms discussed to ionospheric plasmas and substorm phenomena. The discussion covers: current-driven instabilities, observable consequences of anomalous resistivity-like production of runaway electrons, anomalous resistivity due to collective plasma interactions, anomalous resistivity in the case of stable bulk electron current, and ion acoustic instability.
