The microscopic consequences of the presence of nonlinear vortex structures in the near-Earth plasma dispersive medium are studied in this work. In dispersive media, strongly localized vortex structures contain trapped particles, cause pronounced density fluctuations, and intensify transfer processes, mixing in a medium; i.e., they can form strong vortex turbulence. Turbulence is represented as a gas in the ensemble of strongly localized (therefore, weakly interacting) identical vortices composing the ground state. Vortices with different amplitudes are randomly located in space (since they interact with one another) and are described statistically. It is assumed that the steady turbulent state is formed through a balance of mutually competing effects: spontaneous generation of vortices due to nonlinear steepening of the disturbance front, ^noise transfer to small scales, and collisional or collisionless damping of disturbances in the HF region. Noise scaling in the inertial interval takes place since structures merge during their collision. A magnetized plasma medium in the magnetosheath is considered. A new type of turbulent fluctuation spectra with respect to wavenumbers k -8/3, which is in satisfactory agreement with satellite observations in space plasma, has been determined. The medium particle diffusion on an ensemble of vortices has also been studied. It has been established that the interaction between structures themselves and between structures and medium particles causes anomalous diffusion in the medium. The effective diffusion coefficient square roothly depends on the noise stationary level.
