Scientific paper

A nonlocal theory of the current convective instability in the presence
of a transverse velocity shear is developed. It is found that the
velocity shear stabilizes the short wavelength modes and preferentially
excites a long wavelength mode. Application to east-west structure in
the high latitude auroral F layer plasma enhancements is discussed.
