Summary:

The existence of near zero frequency growing modes driven by plasma density and temperature nonuniformities in a sheared magnetic field is demonstrated. These modes are viable candidates for explaining anomalous cross-field transport. It is believed that these modes have been observed in FM-1, when operated in the collisional limit.
