Scientific paper

It is shown that the electron energy loss caused by collisions with ions cannot be ignored in the excitation of ionospheric irregularities with scale lengths greater than 20 m. The energy loss rate is markedly larger than the diffusion damping rates. Because of this, the threshold of the instability is significantly higher than those obtained by Das and Das 1983) and is independent of the scale lengths of ionospheric irregularities.
