low-frequency wave driven by density or temperature gradients across a magnetic field, a main cause of turbulent transport in magnetized plasmas.

In plasma physics, drift wave refers to low-frequency wave driven by density or temperature gradients across a magnetic field, a main cause of turbulent transport in magnetized plasmas. This meaning comes from Horton (1999) in Reviews of Modern Physics.[1]
