Abstract
Stochastic differential equation of the phase fluctuations is derived for the collision conductive magnetized plasma in the polar ionosphere applying the complex geometrical optics approximation. Calculating second order statistical moments it was shown that the contribution of the longitudinal conductivity substantially exceeds both Pedersen and Hall??s conductivities. Phase structure function allows to calculate the angle of arrivals in the main (location of an external magnetic field) and perpendicular planes for different orientation of the observation points. Broadening of the temporal spectrum containing the drift velocity of elongated ionospheric irregularities is investigated. Numerical calculations are carried out for the experimentally observing power-law spectrum of electron density fluctuations containing anisotropy factor of elongated ionospheric irregularities using the experimental data.
