Sq等效电流在太阳活动周中的分析研究

Sq电流体系的产生与太阳密切相关,太阳的活动情况会对Sq电流体系造成直接的影响.本文应用1996年至2006年(第23太阳周)INTERMAGNET地磁台网以及中国地震局地球物理研究所国家地磁台网中心的全球地磁场观测数据,通过球谐分析的方法建模,对11年期间每月Sq内外源等效电流体系进行分离,分析Sq内外源等效电流在太阳活动周中的变化情况.结果表明,Sq内外源等效电流强度与太阳黑子的变化具有较高的相关性和一致性,内外源等效电流强度在太阳活动高年期间明显大于其在太阳活动的上升年和下降年期间的强度;Sq内外源等效电流焦点的纬度变化与太阳活动没有显著的一致性;Sq内外源等效电流强度的季节效应在太阳活动的高年和低年具有显著的差别,太阳活动高年期间等效电流强度在分点季节最大,而在其他年份南北半球的等效电流强度都是在各自半球的夏季达到最大.     

汶川8.0级地震前地磁低点位移与内外源S_q等效电流体系关系的研究

本文利用球谐分析方法构建内外源Sq等效电流体系反演模型,对2008年汶川8.0级地震前的4月24日及5月9日两次地磁低点位移日前后共10日的内外源Sq等效电流体系进行逐日反演,并结合Dst磁暴指数分析研究地磁低点位移和电流体系之间的关系。研究发现:低点位移发生当日内外源等效电流体系南北半球电流涡中心强度都有减小的趋势,且内源场减小的幅度更大。低点位移发生日内源等效电流体系电流涡中心可能会发生纬向偏移现象。     

地磁正常场的选取与地磁异常场的计算

根据2003年中国地磁观测数据（包括135年地磁测点和35个地磁台）以及我国邻近地区38个IGRF计算点的地磁数据,计算中国地磁异常场的分布。选取两种地磁场模型作为地磁正常场,一是国际参考地磁场的球谐模型,二是中国地磁场泰勒多项式模型。根据各个测点的地磁异常值（观测值减去模型计算值）,用球冠谐分析方法计算地磁异常场的球冠谐模型,并绘制2003年中国地磁异常（△D,△I,△F,△X,△Y,△Z）。分析和讨论了中国地磁异常场。     

地磁低点位移与地磁场等效电流体系关系的初步研究

利用地磁内外源场分离的方法,反演得到了1997年11月8日玛尼地震和1998年１月10日张北地震前地下和空间等效电流体系的演化图象,并分析研究了地磁低点位移出现前后等效电流体系变化特征．结果表明,内、外场等效电流体系的变化与地震ldquo;低点位移rdquo;异常现象有着内在的联系,等效电流体系变化可能是地磁低点位移异常现象产生的原因之一。随着我国地磁台站的加密建设,势必可以得到更为精确的地磁场等效电流体系的演化特征,更有利于地震预测的研究。      

地磁静日变化预测方法研究

地磁观测中及时了解地磁场日变化的扰动情况,可以帮助人们及时判断数据的可靠性,识别观测中的异常.研究地磁静日变化的预测方法在地磁观测数据分析处理中具有应用意义. 地磁日变化主要包含了地球外部空间电离层和磁层电流体系的变化信息,有静日变化和扰日变化之分.通常情况下人们利用每月中的5天静日变化的平均作为当月的Sq变化的估计.     

在地磁学与地球重力学中的球谐分析

球谐分析在地磁学与地球重力学中得到广泛的应用.由于地球磁场与地球引力场的不同,球谐表述有所不同.地磁场的高斯分析（球谐分析）的结果表明,地磁场没有单极子,而引力场有,地磁场有内外源场之分,而地球引力场只有内源场,地磁场的球谐级数收敛快,地磁场高斯级数所用的蒂合勒让德函数是Schmidt半标准化的,而地球引力场中用的是全标准化的,地磁场的高斯系数随时间变化快,每5年产生一个IGRF（国际地磁参考场）, 而引力场的变化是与地质变化有关,相对于地磁场来说,是缓慢的. 地磁场的高斯分析还存在一个唯一性问题.     

太阳平静期地磁场与电离层时空变化相互作用分析

作为地球空间环境的重要组成部分,地磁场和电离层是地球物理研究中的重要方向.新的观测数据和处理方法为人们更加深入地认识地磁场和电离层时空变化之间的相互作用发挥了巨大的促进作用.本文利用欧洲轨道测定中心(CODE)提供的全球电离层垂直总离子浓度地图(GIM)数据和Swarm卫星的观测数据,基于数据统计的方法,对太阳平静期不同纬度地区地磁场和电离层时空变化之间的相互作用进行了分析.从地磁场对电离层时空变化的作用来看,本文利用Swarm卫星数据发现电离层电子浓度在赤道地区呈"马鞍"形分布,在高纬度地区变化剧烈,验证了因地磁场对电离层时空变化影响导致的电离层赤道异常和极盖吸收等现象的存在,同时利用GIM数据通过张量秩-2分解和主成分析发现沿地磁场方向电离层的空间变化更加迅速,体现出地磁场对电离层时空变化的约束作用.从电离层对地磁场时空变化的作用来看,基于CHAOS-5模型对地磁内源场和磁层环电流磁场的预测,本文从Swarm卫星磁测数据中分离出电离层中电流体系的磁效应,其中包括赤道电集流、中纬度地区的Sq电流体系和极区电集流的磁效应,为进一步反演电离层电流体系奠定了基础.     

外源S_q等效电流体系电流涡中心电流强度与太阳活动关系

本文选取了INTERMAGNET地磁台网2001年到2012年的地磁数据,对其进行世界时(UT)到地方时(LT)的转换后利用自然正交分量法(NOC)从所选资料中提取出太阳静日变化Sq成分,再通过球谐分析方法建立模型分离内、外源Sq成分,逐日反演出内、外源Sq等效电流体系,并得到外源Sq等效电流体系南北电流涡中心电流强度.本文将外源Sq等效电流体系南北电流涡中心电流强度与同一时期的Dst指数进行了对比分析,研究表明它们之间具有同步变化的规律,且北半球电流涡中心电流强度在磁暴发生时的异常现象远高于南半球.对F10.7cm太阳射电流量与外源Sq等效电流体系南、北半球电流涡中心电流强度的长短周期分析发现,Sq等效电流表现出明显的11年周期特点,与太阳活动周期一致.外源南、北半球电流涡中心电流强度和F10.7cm年均值的相关系数分别达到了0.93和0.90,说明太阳活动是导致外源Sq电流体系变化的最直接也最主要的因素,这可能与电离层电导率受控于太阳的电磁辐射相关.     

空间和地下电流体系演化与地磁低点位移关系的研究

利用球冠谐分析法对2009年我国35个绝对观测地磁台站的Sq太阳静日变化进行内外源场分离,反演得到三个劳埃德季节(冬季D,分点E,夏季J)相应的内、外源等效电流体系,结果表明Sq外源电流体系在该区域D、E、J三个季节的电流涡中心强度分别为56.2 kA、137.7 kA、137.9 kA,电流涡中心位置的地方时由冬季的1124LT前移至夏季的约1030LT;Sq内源电流体系在该区域D、E、J三个季节的电流涡中心强度分别为21.1 kA、63.4 kA、72.7 kA,电流涡中心位置的地方时由冬季的1100LT前移至夏季的约1000LT.     

On the synchronism in the events within the core and on the surface of the earth: the changes in the organic world and in the polarity of the geomagnetic field in the phanerozoic

The data on geomagnetic reversals are compared with the changes in the organic world and with the lower-mantle plumes. The times of the formation of plumes and the times of their appearance on the Earth’s surface relate to the intervals characterized by the different frequencies of geomagnetic reversals, i.e., there is no interrelation between the formation of plumes and the frequency of the changes in the geomagnetic field polarity. At the same time, a certain synchronism is observed between the frequency of the geomagnetic reversals and the boundaries of the biostratigraphic ages, i.e., the changes in the organic world in the long-period range. A hypothesis is proposed, which explains the change in the sign of the geomagnetic field by the combined effect of the irregular rotation of the internal core relative to the mantle and the changes in the slope angle of the axis of the Earth’s rotation, which, in turn, results in synchronous events on the Earth’s surface: the rates of changes in the organic world.     

On the maintenance of the axisymmetric part of the flow in the atmosphere

Summary The maintenance of the axisymmetric component of the flow in the atmosphere is investigated by means of a steady-state, quasi-geostrophic formulation of the meteorological equations. It is shown that the meridional variations in the time-averaged axisymmetric variables can be expressed as the sum of three contributions, one being due to the eddy heat transport, another to the eddy momentum transport, and a third to the convective-radiative equilibrium temperature which enters the problem through the specification of a Newtonian form of diabatic heating. The contributions by the large scale eddies are evaluated through the use of observed values for the eddy heat and momentum transports.The contributions from each of the three forcing mechanisms to the temperature and zonal wind fields are invstigated individually and found to be of about equal importance. The sum of the three contributions are also presented for the temperature, the zonal wind, the stream function associated with the mean meridional circulation and the corresponding vertical motion. Although the results fail to reproduce the main observed features of the lower stratosphere, they are found to be in good agreement with observations in the middle latitude troposphere. At any pressure level, for example, the computed mean zonal wind has a jet-like profile and the axis of the jet is found to slope to the south with height, as observed in the atmosphere.Based in part on a thesis submitted by the first author as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Ph.D. degree at the University of Michigan. — Publication No. 194 from the Department of Meteorology and Oceanography, The University of Michigan.     

On the gravimetric undulations of the geoid and the deflections of the vertical

Summary The author mentions the aims of the World-wide gravity project he established in the Ohio State University in Columbus, in 1950. He outlines the practical procedure of the gravimetric computations of the undulationsN and the vertical deflection components and and emphasizes that only by the global international cooperation and additional gravity observations at sea carried out during the last decade it has been possible to gather to Columbus the needed gravity material. Since there exist still large gravimetrically unsurveyed areas it is of vital significance to study what gravity anomalies are best to be used for these regions. The given figures concerning the accuracy of theN, and , estimated theoretically and obtained in practice, indicate that in the gravimetrically well surveyed parts of the world like in Europe and the United States we can get gravimetrically on basis of existing gravity material theN-values with accuracy of about 5–10 meters, and and with the accuracy of about 1. The geoid undulationsN are already computed in Columbus for more than 6000 points of the northern hemisphere. The sample maps show the interesting geoid of Europe and vicinity between the latitudes 60° and 30° and longitude 5° W and 30° E, drafted on basis of more than 1000N-values computed at the corners of 1°×1° squares. It is interesting to realize that the geoid undulations in all this area are positive, the extreme values being between 40 and 50 meters. The geophysical significance of the geoid maps of this kind is pointed out.

On the variation in the geomagnetic dipole over the geological history of the Earth

The global database on the paleointensity, containing determinations of the virtual dipole moment (VDM) for a stable (normal) regime of the geomagnetic field in a time interval of up to 3.5 Ga, is supplemented by new VDM determinations and analyzed. The field generation process started no later than 3–3.5 Ga (earlier data are absent) at the stage of the Earth’s core formation. Since that time, the dipole value has differed from its present value by no more than an order of magnitude, and the deviations that have already been detected tend toward smaller values. The distribution of VDM values in the time interval 0–400 Ma is bimodal, which apparently reflects the presence of two different generation levels of the geomagnetic field distinguished by a relatively large value (close to the present field value) and a relatively small value (approximately half as large as the present value). The total duration of decreased VDM values appreciably exceeds that of increased VDM values (179.1 and 28.6 Myr, respectively). On the whole, data on the paleointensity do not contradict the hypothesis about the dipole nature of the field over the last 400 Myr; however, the number of determinations at high paleolatitudes is too small to draw decisive conclusions on the validity (or invalidity) of the dipole field approximation based solely on paleointensity data.     

Magnetic stratigraphy of the Ordovician in the lower reach of the Kotuy River: the age of the Bysy-Yuryakh stratum and the rate of geomagnetic reversals on the eve of the superchron

Until recently, the existing data prevented the geophysicists from accurately dating the Bysy-Yuryakh stratum, which outcrops in the middle reach of the Kotuy River, constraining the time of its formation to a wide interval from the end of the Late Cambrian to the beginning of the Silurian. The obtained paleomagnetic data unambiguously correlate the Bysy-Yuryakh stratum to the Nyaian regional stage and constrain its formation, at least a considerable part of it, by the Tremadocian. This result perfectly agrees with the data on the Bysy-Yuryakh conodonts studied in this work and yields a spectacular example of the successful application of paleomagnetic studies in solving important tasks of stratigraphy and, correspondingly, petroleum geology. Within the Bysy-Yuryakh stratum, we revealed a large normal-polarity interval corresponding to the long (>1 Ma) period when the geomagnetic reversals were absent. This result, in combination with the data for the Tremadocian and Middle–Upper Cambrian sequences of the other regions, indicates that (1) the rate of occurrence of the geomagnetic reversals on the eve of the Ordovician Moyero superchron of reversed polarity was at most one reversal per Ma; (2) the superchron does not switch on instantaneously but is preceded by a certain gradual change in the operation conditions of the dynamo mechanism which, inter alia, manifests itself by the reduction of the frequency of geomagnetic reversals with the approach of the superchron. This finding supports the views according to which a process preparing the establishment of the superchrons takes place at the core–mantle boundary.     

Comparison Between the Nutations of the Planet Mars and the Nutations of the Earth

The nutations of the planets Mars andEarth are investigated and compared. Alarge number of interior structureparameters are involved in the nutationcomputations. The comparison between the observations and the computationsprovides several constraints on these parmeters andtherefore allows a better understanding of the physics of the interior of theplanet. For the Earth, the high precision of the observations of the nutationshas led to a very good determination of interior properties of the planet. ForMars, observations of nutations are not yet available, and we review how theamplitude of the Martian nutations depends on the hypotheses consideredfor its interior. Although Mars is very similar to the Earth, its interior is not well known;for example, we don't knowif its core is liquid or solid. Only if the core is liquid,the Free Core Nutation (FCN) normal mode exists and can alter the nutationswhich are close to the resonance. From the observed geoids, it is known thatboth planets are not in hydrostatic equilibrium. The departure is larger forMars than for the Earth, and consequently, the implication of considering a convective mantle instead of a mantle in hydrostatic equilibrium described byClairaut's equation for the initial equilibrium state of the planet is largeron the Martian nutations than on the Earth nutations. The consequences of theuncertainty in the core dimensions are also examined and shown to be of a veryhigh influence for Mars if the core is liquid, due to the potential changes inthe FCN resonance. The influence of the presence of an inner core, which isknown to exist for the Earth, could be more important for Mars than for theEarth if the inner core is large. Due to the presence of Tharsis on Mars, thetriaxiality of this planet has, additionally, larger effects than on Earth.
