• Gravity wave initiation of equatorial spread F/plasma bubble irregularities based on observational data from the SpreadFEx campaign (2009, background): “Also, at a later phase of the significant westward plasma flow (of the bottom-side) Hysell and Kudeki (2004) obtained a smaller growth rate by their shear instability mechanism for similar scale sizes which they also suggested as a possible seed for eventual bubbles development.”
• Spread F – an old equatorial aeronomy problem finally resolved? (2009, background): “Hysell and Kudeki (2004) identified a collisional shear instability at the shear region of the F-region that could compete with the GRT in this region and performed numerical simulations to illustrate their growth (see Fig.”
• Equatorial spread-F initiation: Post-sunset vortex, thermospheric winds, gravity waves (2007, methodology): “Recent results motivating us for this search included detailed radar observations of the equatorial post-sunset vortex in F-region drifts and a related mechanism for bottomtype spread-F production presented in Kudeki and Bhattacharyya (1999), radar imaging and in-situ rocket observations of bottom-t”
• On the enigma of day‐to‐day variability in equatorial spread F (2005, background): “[16] Recently, Hysell and Kudeki [2004] found a growing mode for a collisional shear-instability that exists in absence of drivers for interchange instability.”
