Recent in situ observations during Critical Ionization Velocity (CIV) experiments under the CRIT project produced puzzling results, apparently at odds with current CIV theories. It is shown that incorporation in the theory of lower hybrid wave (LHW) instabilities of strong turbulence and finite size effects results in reconciliation of the theory with the observations.
