“…Figure 6 shows the normalized electron density perturbations at the linear mixing and saturated regimes obtained with the model proposed by Rojas Villalba et al (2022). The electron density, averaged temperatures, perturbation electric fields saturate in a similar way as in PIC simulations.…”

The heating caused by ionospheric E-region plasma turbulence has documented global implications for the energy transfer from space into the terrestrial atmosphere. Traveling atmospheric disturbances, neutral wind motion, energy deposition rates, and ionospheric conductance have all been shown to be potentially affected by turbulent plasma heating. Therefore it is proposed to enhance and expand existing ionospheric radar capabilities and fund research into E-region plasma turbulence so that it is possible to more accurately quantify the solar-terrestrial energy budget and study phenomena related to E-region plasma turbulence. The proposed research funding includes the development of models to accurately predict and model the E-region plasma turbulence using particle-in-cell analysis, fluid-based analysis, and hybrid combinations of the two. This review provides an expanded and more detailed description of the past, present, and future of auroral E-region plasma turbulence research compared to the summary report submitted to the National Academy of Sciences Decadal Survey for Solar and Space Physics (Heliophysics) 2024–2033 (Huyghebaert et al., 2022a).

“…Fluid models must also be considered due to their ability to more easily scale to larger system analyses. In parallel with the PIC simulations, there have been efforts to develop fluid-models of the Farley-Buneman instability with accurate recreation of the plasma characteristics (e.g., Rojas Villalba et al, 2022). Future comparisons of PIC and fluid simulations with new high resolution E-region coherent scatter measurements will provide insights into both the accuracy of the models and into the generation mechanisms and effects of E-region plasma turbulence.…”
