Low-frequency electrostatic drift wave turbulence has been studied in both\udlaboratory plasmas and in space. The present review describes a number of\udsuch laboratory experiments together with results obtained by instrumented\udspacecraft in the Earth's near and distant ionospheres. The summary\udemphasizes readily measurable quantities, such as the turbulent power spectra\udfor the fluctuations in plasma density, potential and electric fields. The\udagreement between power spectra measured in the laboratory and in space seems\udto be acceptable, but there are sufficiently frequent counterexamples to\udjustify a future dedicated analysis, for instance by numerical tools, to\udexplain deviations. When interpreting spectra at low ionospheric altitudes,\udit is necessary to give attention to the DC ionospheric electric fields and\udthe differences in the physics of electron–ion collisions and collisions of\udcharged particles with neutrals for cases with significant Hall drifts. These\udeffects modify the drift wave spectra. A dedicated laboratory experiment\udaccounted for some of these differences
