Abstract
It is pointed out that the presence of non-thermal electrons and protons in oxygen plasma of the ionosphere plays a destructive role in the formation of electrostatic structures by nonlinear ion acoustic waves (IAWs). On the other hand, linear electrostatic perturbations at different IAW frequencies are excited by the field-aligned shear flow in oxygen-hydrogen plasma of the upper ionosphere, and non-thermal electrons cause an increase in the growth rate. The excitation of IAW and formation of solitary structures in the ionosphere are investigated at altitudes of 600 km and 1000 km in the auroral region.
