| contents | Recently, a generalized Hasegawa-Mima (gHM) equation describing drift wave turbulence in curved magnetic fields has been derived in [N. Sato and M. Yamada, J. Plasma Phys. (2022), vol. 88, 905880319] for an ion-electron plasma modeled as a two-fluid system. In this work, we show that a mathematically equivalent GHM equation can be obtained within the kinetic framework of guiding center motion, and that the relevant drift wave turbulence ordering can be further relaxed, effectively generalizing the applicability of the equation to any magnetic field geometry and electron spatial density, in the sense that no ordering requirements involve spatial derivatives of the magnetic field or the electron spatial density. |
