A previously proposed model of radio aurora is developed further and is used to relate and explain data obtained during an event described by Hofstee and Forsyth. The basis of the model is the two-stream, ion-acoustic wave instability. Although the model explains this particular event very well, attempts to apply it to certain other experimental situations have resulted in unresolved difficulties. These are discussed briefly.During the Hofstee and Forsyth event a geomagnetic bay was observed north of the scattering region. An explanation of this bay using the electric field deduced from the radio backscatter data required the assumption of a polarization field within the band of enhanced plasma associated with the visual aurora present at the same location (Boström's model 1).
