Two different spatial scales are identified which control the behaviour of its evolution. These are the ion inertial scale $\\lambda_{im}(\\tau)$ based on the excess density $N_m(\\tau)$ generated in the mirror mode, and a correlation length. This can be either the Debye length, the ion gyro-radius, or a turbulent correlation length.
