This paper points out that the nonlinear coupling of a large-amplitude electromagnetic pump wave with convective plasma fluid instabilities is significantly enhanced by pump-induced temperature changes. It should thus be easy to exceed the threshold values for parametric instabilities in several ionospheric heating experiments.
