Turbulent damping of the convective cells and the lower hybrid waves

A detailed numerical study has been made of the turbulent damping of the convective cells and of lower hybrid waves for a plasma near thermal equilibrium. It is found that some of the theories of strong turbulence, taking into account the diffusing orbits of particles, are inadequate for describing the observations; observations are, however, in good agreement with the linear dispersion relation with a turbulent diffusion coefficient.
