Abstract
It is shown that non-equilibrium radiative cooling can give rise to a condensational instability of the drift waves in an inhomogeneous magnetized plasma. The corresponding particle and heat transport coefficients are estimated by means of the conventional quasi-linear theory. The appearance of electrostatic edge turbulence and marfes on the inboard edge of tokamak plasmas may be attributed to such a radiation driven drift wave instability.
