Satellite (IC-B-1300) data on the electromagnetic structures in the high-latitude ionosphere are presented. One can observe three kinds of vortices, namely vortex chains as well as solitary dipolar and monopolar vortex structures. The theoretical treatment that is carried out in the present paper is in reasonable agreement with the observations.

The nonlinear Schrödinger equation, with complex coefficients that describe growth and damping, is considered. An exact stationary soliton solution is found for arbitrary growth and damping strength.

The appearance of rogue waves is well known in oceanographics, optics, and cold matter systems. Here we show a possibility for the existence of atmospheric rogue waves.Original Publication:Lennart Stenflo and Mattias Marklund, Rogue waves in the atmosphere, 2010, JOURNAL OF PLASMA PHYSICS, (76), 293-295.http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/S0022377809990481Copyright: Cambridge University Presshttp://www.cambridge.org/uk
