We consider the possible effects of an electron beam on the current-convective instability in a weakly ionized plasma, with application to the diffuse auroral situation. A linear stability analysis including these effects is presented. It is found that the presence of an electron beam has negligible effects on the instability growth rate for the diffuse auroral ionospheric application.
