Scientific paper

A magnetic turbulence model proposed is in qualitative agreement both with direct observations in the transition region and theoretical concepts. Using this model, a kinetic equation is derived for the regular portion of the distribution function, which defined the relaxation from an initially weakly ionized distribution to an isotropic particle distribution in the velocity space. A solution of this equation yields the characteristic damping frequencies of the electron and proton currents (the effective collision frequencies) for disturbances whose spatial scale is much greater than the turbulence scale.
