Coupling of drift vortex and the ion acoustic modes in the linear and nonlinear regimes are investigated with sheared ion flow perpendicular to the ambient magnetic field in a plasma comprising of hot ions and nonthermal population of electrons. In this regard, generation of nonlinear vortex structures in the presence of kappa, Cairns, and q-nonextensive electron distributions are investigated in detail, and comparison with the Maxwellian distribution is also made. The appositeness of the present investigation in the matter of auroral F-region is also pointed out.
