Abstract
Electron and ion current fluctuations caused by lower-hybrid-drift tur bulence are estimated within nonlinear theory for the plasma of the io nospheric F-layer, as well as for the plasma mantle and the plasma she et boundary layer of the tail of the earth's magnetosphere. They are f ound to be of the order of 10(-14) - 10(-11) A/m2 and 10(-13) - 10(-9) A/m2, respectively.
