Low Frequency Waves and Turbulence in Magnetized Laboratory Plasmas and in the Ionosphere

This book describes low- frequency waves and turbulence in magnetized laboratory plasmas and in the ionosphere. Part One discusses relevant plasma instabilities and the free energy that drives them. Part Two looks at nonlinear models and the interactions of many modes are discussed. Theoretical tools for turbulence modelling are also outlined.
