Abstract

Plasma column density fluctuation spectra observed from the Buaro ionospheric barium release have been analyzed as a function of altitude over the range 285 km to 345 km. The wavenumber spectra become steeper with increasing altitude, the first time this has been shown in any ionospheric injection experiment. The source of these steepened spectra is argued to be wave‐particle scattering due to the universal density drift instability.
