Scientific paper

A new mechanism for the generation of ionospheric irregularities of scale sizes of the order of 100 m or more, has been developed on the basis of thermal energy source due to collisional current dissipation. The important role is played by the diffusion of particles along and across the magnetic field. The threshold condition for the instability has been obtained and it is shown that these irregularities can be generated in the F-region height of auroral ionosphere when the electric field is enhanced to about 10 mV/m.
