There have been several important theoretical breakthroughs in the last few years that have substantially improved understanding of the electrojet plasma instabilities. There is now an understanding of (1) the linear and nonlinear processes that control the longest wavelengths and probably also affect the electrojet current strength, (2) quite a bit about the two-dimensional turbulent cascade process that generates both the type 2 irregularities seen by radar and waves propagating even in the vertical direction, and (3) the anomalous diffusion process that limits the growth of the directly excited short wavelength type 1 waves and explains many of their properties. It is finally understood why type 1 and type 2 waves are different. In this paper first a brief summary is given of the observed characteristics of the electrojet irregularities and then the theory is discussed, devoting particular attention to recent developments.
