Scientific paper

The strong turbulence which occurs when Langmuir waves reach Zakharov's (1972) threshold for the formation and collapse of plasma wave solitons is examined in order to determine whether the energy levels used in simulation experiments are still consistent with the weak turbulence hypothesis which was taken as a premise. A criterion derived by Goldman et al. (1980) for the case of broadband Langmuir turbulence is employed in order to derive a necessary condition of self-consistency for models of the quasi-linear dynamics. The results indicate that a regime in which quasi-linear relaxation is important but strong turbulence is not may be relevant to type III solar radio bursts.
