Scientific paper

The contribution of heat-flux gradients to the viscosity tensor of the ionospheric plasma (i.e., the thermal-stress effect) is analyzed. It is shown that this effect is manifested most strongly in structures with high ion temperature and low plasma concentration, which are observed in high-latitude ionization troughs. Experimental results indicate that the thermal-stress effect makes a significant contribution to the plasma-pressure distribution.
