Abstract
In the ionosphere of Mars, dust can remain at high altitudes as a result of combustion of meteoric bodies and its subsequent condensation. These dust particles acquire charges under the influence of solar radiation, interaction with charged particles of the ionosphere and solar wind, and also as a result of the triboeffect. In such plasma-dust systems, various wave oscillations can occur. In particular, taking into account the inhomogeneities of the plasma concentration of Martian plasma-dust clouds and the presence of a magnetic field of Mars, although weak, but significant for these processes, it is possible to excite lower hybrid drift waves. The conditions under which the propagation of lower hybrid drift waves in the dusty plasma of the ionosphere of Mars and the development of modulation instability of these waves are possible are considered. A possible connection is shown between the occurrence of low-frequency noise on Mars and the development of lower hybrid drift turbulence in plasma-dust systems of Mars, in which sufficiently large electric fields are observed. The influence of the magnetic field on the excitation of lower hybrid drift waves is shown and it is calculated for which regions of the magnetic field in the dust clouds of Mars lower hybrid drift waves of certain frequency ranges can be excited.
