Growth of plasma waves of scales longer than 10 km by gradient-drift instability in the E-region of equatorial ionosphere

In this study, a linear analysis of the Gradient Drift Instability (GDI) applicable for horizontal wavelengths longer than 10 km in the E region is presented. By analytically solving the non-local differential equation for the polarization potential, analytical forms of the dispersion relation and g...
