Formation, stability and decay of inhomogeneus plasma structures 
in a hot magnetized plazma electrostatically unstable.
 | 
1) Electrostatic instabilities of plasma in the topside ionosphere are developing alike to 
that of solar corona and another plasmas. Satellite measurements of electrostatic noise and 
theoretical analysis of data on electrostatic and electromagnetic emission, plasma temperature 
and density are used to reveal new laws in formation and decay of inhomogeneous plasma 
structures.  
 2) Theoretical treatment of measurement data upon ionospheric electrostatic waves emission 
within the frequency band 0.1 - 10 MHz, plasma density and electron temperature is presented 
to reveal some peculiarities in the processes of plasma trough and different scale cavity 
formation. Intercosmos-19 and APEX satellite data are investigated thoroughly in order to 
propose a mechanism of topside ionosphere plasma cavity heating by short waves excited in the 
electrostatically unstable ionospheric regions. It is shown that the phase - space properties 
of the broad-band electrostatic noise play very important role in the processes of the growing 
up and damping of intrinsic electrostatic waves propagating in plasma inhomogeneities. Plasma 
cavity heating in the topside ionosphere observed in space experiment data most probably 
depends on propagation conditions of short length electrostatic waves thus permittivity 
properties of inhomogeneous magnetized hot plasma must be taken into account even for the 
low temperature ionospheric plasma.
