Outshifted I)lasma lines, observed during injections of intense HF ra(tiowaves into the ioosphere, are due to scattering on Langlnuir waves with an unusually large spectral widi, h shifted above the injected frequency. Incoherent scatter radar observations reveal that these waves sometimes are located at altitudes exceeding by several kilolneters the altitude of the reflection layer of the ordinary HF wave, titus making an explanation in terlns of the so-called "free mode" problematic. We show that these olservations may be consistently described by the creation, (lue to the ponderomotive force, of density depletions in the Airy pattern of the Z ito(le. Tlte geileration of Langmuir plasmons by accelerated suprathermal electrons itside the depletions causes the wide spectral width of these plasma line features and their Inean frequency shift.
