Abstract :
This paper presents continued investigations of propagation of disturbances of plasma concentration in the topside ionosphere. Mathematical modeling of the nonlinear stage of instability development has been carried out. It is shown that in the region of maximum enhancement of perturbations, the relative fluctuations of plasma density can be up to several tens of percent.
