Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 DEF
Group of electrostatic macro-instabilities which resemble the universal modes but whose growth rate is connected with collisions rather than with resonant particles. [Definition standardized by ISO.] 2, record 1, English, - drift%2Ddissipative%20instability
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
This instability is due to the fact that the potential and density fluctuations are put out of phase by collisions and this generates a growing wave. 3, record 1, English, - drift%2Ddissipative%20instability

Groupe de macro-instabilités électrostatiques qui ressemblent aux modes universels mais dont le taux de croissance est lié plutôt aux collisions qu'aux particules résonantes. [Définition normalisée par l'ISO.] 2, record 1, French, - instabilit%C3%A9%20dissipative%20de%20d%C3%A9rive
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
L'instabilité est due au fait que les fluctuations de potentiel et de densité sont déphasées par les collisions, ce qui engendre une onde croissante. 2, record 1, French, - instabilit%C3%A9%20dissipative%20de%20d%C3%A9rive
