Scientific paper

In regions where lower hybrid solitary structures (LHSS) are observed, the character of auroral lower hybrid turbulence (LHT) (0\--20~kHz) is investigated using the amplitude probability distribution of the electric field. The observed probability distributions are accurately described by a Rayleigh distribution (one dynamical dimension turbulence). The statistics of the LHT exhibit no evidence of a power law contribution corresponding to self-similar wave collapse. We conclude that nucleation or scattering of LHT in pre-exisiting density depletions are the processes responsible for LHSS in auroral LHT. Work supported by ONR.
