Convective Amplification of Ionospheric Feedback by a Finite‐Duration Inertial Alfvén‐Wave Source

Abstract We investigate the ionospheric feedback instability (IFI) driven by a finite‐duration localized source of inertial Alfvén waves. Wave‐excited conductance perturbations undergo Pedersen mobility drift in the convection and wave electric fields and are amplified. A causal...
