Parametric Instability and Turbulent Cascades in Space Plasmas

TL;DR: In this paper, the parametric instability mechanism is used to explain the production of inward propagating modes and density fluctuations in the polar Solar Wind (SW) plasma, in which Alfven waves can decay and produce back-scattered waves and density perturbations.

Wave Turbulence with Applications to Atmospheric and Oceanic Waves

V. Zeitlin
TL;DR: A review of the main ideas and methods of wave-turbulence theory and their applications to geophysical fluid dynamics is given in this paper, where the authors explain the methods of finding stationary solutions, both for isotropic and weakly anisotropic dispersion relations.

Transverse stability of strongly nonlinear ion acoustic modes

TL;DR: In this paper, the transverse stability of strongly nonlinear ion-acoustic structures, described by the general Sagdeev potential, is investigated, and it is shown that the multi-scale stability analysis by [Sov. Phys. Dokl. 15 (1970) 539] for solitary waves described by a weakly dispersive and weakly nonlinear equation, can be generalized for strong nonlinear systems.

Interaction of Alfven waves with a turbulent layer

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of anomalous transverse resistivity on the damping performance of the Pc1 wave in a turbulent cusp was investigated and the results showed that anomalous resistivity can be caused by magnetospheric current exceeding the threshold necessary for the excitation of highfrequency plasma turbulence.

Reconnection Mediated by Magnetic Fractures and the Solar Flare

TL;DR: In this paper, the free energy residing in the shear field is being converted prior to reconnection, which happens in high-density, dissipative current sheets bordering the reconnection site.
