Description

A Zakharov-type set of two differential equations is derived, describing the interaction of upper-hybrid waves with low-frequency density perturbations in the case of Boltzmann distributed electrons. It is shown that low-frequency self-interaction terms lead to the formation of a traveling solution in the form of a solitary double vortex. This solution can be identified as a new nonlinear mode, related to the driven Hasegawa--Mima modon
