A new class of stationary double layer structure, with three or more distinct steps, is demonstrated in the laboratory. A large monotonic potential increase results from a series of smaller double layer (each with eΔϕ/Te~1--3). In many respects, these double layer structures resemble those inferred from satellite measurements of auroral double layers. This new class of double laye appears to depend on turbulence for its existence and to be a hybrid structure, intermediate between anomalous resistivity and BGK double layers. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1988
