南极长城站冬季地磁S_q变化特征

本文利用南极长城站1987年4月至9月的地磁资料,分析了长城站地区冬季地磁S_q变化特征。分析结果表明:(1)南极长城站在初冬(4月)与冬末(9月)月份的S_q变化形态与北半球中纬度的北京地磁台的S_q变化形态基本相似,这可能是由中纬度电离层中的发电机电流所控制的。在仲冬月份(6月与7月),由于太阳紫外辐射效应减少,高纬度的地磁扰动占主导地位,反映出S_q变幅很小和以8小时以下的较短周期谐波起主要作用,(2)在初冬与冬末月份的S_q等效电流矢量,白天比黑夜大约5倍;其矢量方向在白天(08—15时)为顺时针,黑夜为反时针。在仲冬月由于电离层中电流的影响相对减弱,S_q等效电流矢量很小,白天与黑夜基本一样;其矢量分布方向与初冬和冬末的矢量方向不同,这可能是极区的电离层电流或场向电流的影响造成的。     

南极地区地磁扰日变化S_D场特征

利用南极地磁资料研究了地磁扰日变化ＳＤ场特征。１）ＳＤ场变化不如Ｓｑ场变化规则,无明显的昼夜差异;太阳活动高年（１９９１年）比下降年（１９９４年）ＳＤ场变化更强烈。２）极隙区中山站ＳＤ场变幅比亚极光区长城站和北半球低纬区北京台的ＳＤ场变幅大１０倍以上。３）中山站Ｓ０Ｄ（Ｈ）变化呈“正弦波”形态,与长城站和北京台Ｓ０Ｄ（Ｈ）变化形态相反。４）中山站Ｓ０Ｄ等效电流矢量在早晨－下午（０２～１５ｈ）矢量方向为反时针西向,下午－夜间（１５～０２ｈ）矢量方向为顺时针东向,这是由极区东向、西向电射流和极区电流涡旋所引起;长城站与北京台Ｓ０Ｄ等效电流矢量很小,这是由极区东向和西向电射流的影响所致。     

南极中山站1991年地磁静日S_q变化

本文分析了１９９１年太阳活动峰年南极中山站地磁静日Ｓｑ变化，结果表明：１）地磁静日Ｓｑ变化叠加有很多扰动。Ｓｑ场是由Ｓ０ｑ场和Ｓｐｑ场所组成。２）Ｓ０ｑ场变化比较规则，其极昼月（夏季）的变幅比极夜月（冬季）大很多。在极昼月Ｓ０ｑ（Ｈ）变化出现有双峰图象。Ｓ０ｑ场主要是由高纬度极区电离层Ｓｑ电流体系所控制。３）Ｓｐｑ场的变化形态没有昼夜之分；它的变化强度为冬季小、夏季大。Ｓｐｑ场源主要是依赖于场向电流和电离层电导率。４）Ｓ０ｑ（Ｚ）变化比Ｓ０ｑ（Ｈ）变化要大，特别是在极夜的冬季，Ｓ０ｑ（Ｚ）的变幅比Ｓ０ｑ（Ｈ）大２／３倍。本文对北京地磁中心台磁静日资料也一并进行了分析。Ｓｑ变化主要是由北半球中、低纬电离层Ｓｑ电流体系所引起的     

Phase variability of Sq (H) on normal quiet days in the equatorial electrojet region

Summary. From a study of 'abnormal quiet days' (AQDs) at equatorial latitudes it was found earlier (Sastri) that the occurrence of an abnormal Sq ( H ) phase confined to the equatorial electrojet belt is closely associated with the incidence of complete or partial counter-electrojet (CEJ) conditions (marked daytime depressions in the H field in the electrojet region) for about 5 hr around the normal time interval of the diurnal maximum of the H field. In this paper, we investigate the causative mechanism of the Sq ( H ) phase variability on 'normal quiet days' (NQDs), defined as days on which the diurnal maximum of the H field occurs in the time interval 0930-1230 LT, in the equatorial electrojet belt using published geomagnetic data of stations in the Indian equatorial region. It is found that much of the phase variability of Sq ( H ) on NQDs may be caused by the influence of southward (negative) perturbation fields in the H component, similar in nature to those associated with AQDs but of a much smaller amplitude, close to the usual time of the diurnal maximum of the H field. The perturbation fields are noticed to be essentially of the ionospheric dynamo region origin. Possible mechanisms that might give rise to the observed perturbation fields are discussed.

Annual variation of the geomagnetic field

Summary. Horizontal and vertical intensity data, obtained between 1957.0 and 1961.0 at 69 observatories, are analysed to determine the worldwide distribution of the annual variation of the geomagnetic field. Only data observed near local midnight are used, to avoid the small, but significant contamination from Sq. Over most of the world the variation is found to be small, with a clear dependence on latitude, but near the poles it is larger and more erratic. The non-polar variation is subjected to spherical harmonic analysis and separated into parts of internal and external origin. The polar variations are shown to be consistent with a north—south oscillation of the mean position of the auroral electrojets during the year. It is suggested that, with the exception of the polar effect, the annual variation is not due to ionospheric currents (as was hitherto believed), but results from an annual variation in the latitude of the ring current.     

南极中山站的f_0F2特征

本文利用电离层数字测高仪 (DPS - 4)所测的f0 F2和从美国NOAA和DMSP卫星观测估算的半球功率指数和午夜极光区赤道侧边界纬度等资料 ,考察中山站电离层的极区特征。结果表明 ,冬季中山站电离层内的电离生成主要取决于从磁层沉降的粒子。在太阳活动和地磁变化宁静环境下 ,磁正午极隙区内的软粒子是最主要的电离源 ,它能使f0 F2达全天的最大值 ;上、下午各有数小时处于极光带内时 ,高能粒子的电离作用也很重要 ;夜间进入极盖区后 ,电子密度则很低。夏季太阳辐射电离效应使f0 F2值比冬季增加 1- 1 .5MHz,而其日变化的最大值时间也提前了 1- 2hr。发生很大扰动时 ,极隙区和极光带的位置均向低纬方向移动。若中山站日间也处于极盖区内时 ,电子密度会大幅度下降 ,并常接收不到电离层回波的信号。在中等扰动环境下情况更加复杂。由于高纬电离层对流速度很高 ,离子 /中性分子间的碰撞复合系数就很大。热层中性大气全球经向环流对高纬电离层电子密度的增加无显著作用。磁暴期间中午从极隙区向南的等离子体对流对中山站f0 F2的增高也无明显影响。     

Day-to-day variability of geomagnetic hourly amplitudes at low latitudes

A study of the variability of the amplitude of Sq at a fixed hour from one day to the next at nine stations from the dip equator to about 22° north of it has produced interesting results. The amplitude and sign of the variability change virtually randomly, making the mean practically zero. The variability occurs at all hours of the day. Its magnitudes in the components D, H and Z have the same diurnal variation, which peaks in the noon period like Sq(H) in low latitudes, and a weak seasonal variation that peaks at the June solstice (local summer). It is demonstrated that changes in the current intensities of the equatorial electrojet (EEJ) and the worldwide part of the Sq (W Sq) current layers have contrasting phases and can sometimes be in antiphase. Indeed, the changes are mostly independent. Inclusion of the magnetic element D revealed that the EEJ current system has not only an east–west but also a north–south component. The study shows that the meridional component of the EEJ current intensity evidenced at the Kodaikanal and Annamalainagar stations is an integral part of the zonal component at Trivandrum. This confirms the results of Rastogi (1996 ) and validates those of Onwumechili (1997 ). The results suggest that ionospheric conductivity mainly controls the magnitude, while the electric field and ultimately winds mainly control the phase and randomness of the day-to-day variability of the hourly amplitudes of Sq . The random component is attributed to local and/or regional atmospheric winds, probably of gravity wave origin.     

极区极夜期间E层占优电离层的分布特征

E层占优电离层是指E层的峰值电子密度大于F层的峰值电子密度（N_mE>N_mF）时的电离层,记为ELDI（E-Layer Dominated Ionosphere）。针对ELDI,利用2007-2010年的COSMIC (Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate satellite)掩星数据,在修正地磁纬度-磁地方时标系下统计分析了它在南北极区极夜期间（南北半球的冬至日前后30天）的分布特征,结果表明极夜期间电离层ELDI特征明显,其分布与极光椭圆位形基本一致,而且其在夜侧的发生率较高,特别是磁子夜之后,北极为70%左右,而南极为90%左右;另外南极的ELDI特征在磁纬度分布上要略宽于北极的分布范围。在ELDI高发区,电离层峰值电子密度要高于其两侧地区,特别是在夜侧,尤其是磁子夜前的峰值电子密度要接近甚至大于磁正午的峰值电子密度,在南极地区格外明显;而且ELDI高发区内的E层的电子含量（TECE）、电离层总电子含量（TECI）及TECE占TECI的比重（TECEI）都高于其两侧地区,北极TECE和TECI大于南极,而TECEI则是南极大于北极。这些现象主要是由于极夜期间极区高能粒子沉降引起底部电离层电离率增大所致;同时,由于地磁轴偏离地理轴的程度在南极要大于北极,使得极夜期间南极地区的电离层的电子密度,特别是在F层要相应地小于北极地区,从而导致了极夜期间南北半球极区电离层ELDI特征之间差异。

Analysis of S~p_q current systems by using corrected geomagnetic coordinates

The S~p_q equivalent current system of the quiet day geomagnetic variation in the polar region is very complicated. It is composed of several currents, such as the ionospheric dynamo current and the auroral electrojet caused by the field aligned current. S p q is unsymmetrical in both polar regions. In this paper, the S p q current systems are analyzed in the corrected geomagnetic coordinates (CGM) instead of the conventional geomagnetic coordinates (GM), and the symmetries of the S p q current in different systems are compared. Then the causes of S p q asymmetry in the GM coordinates are discussed; the effects of each component in S p q are determined.     

极隙区Pc3频段脉动的传播特性

南极中山站和戴维斯站 (不变磁纬 74.5°S)白天中午位于磁层极隙区 ,夜间位于极盖区或极光带的极向边沿。两站均安装了完全相同的感应式磁力计。选择两站 1 997年 3月和 1 996年 6、9、1 2月的数据 ,运用快速傅立叶变换和波形检查方法选择 Pc3频段脉动事件 ,然后用信号互谱技术进行统计分析 ,结果如下 :在中山站 -戴维斯站 ,Pc3频段脉动主要出现于白天中午 /磁中午和磁午夜附近 ;白天 ,Pc3频段脉动振幅、出现率和出现的时间范围均有一定的季节变化 ,冬季最小 ,但在夜间 ,Pc3频段脉动没有这种变化 ;夜间 ,Pc3频段脉动振幅比在白天大许多 ;Pc3频段脉动传播方向 ,白天主要向西 ,夜间不太规则。这些可能反映了电离层电导率和日侧电离层电流系统对 Pc3频段脉动的影响。     

南北极冬季F2层电离层特性对比研究

利用南极中山站和北极Tromso站1996、1997、1998及2002年的测高仪观测数据,对中山站(6月份)和Tromso站(12月份)上空冬季foF2的日变化特性进行了对比研究,结合数值模拟结果,分析了中山站和Tromso站F2层电离层的极区特征,进一步揭示了极区电离层特征的形成机理。结果表明,中山站和Tromso站虽然地理纬度接近,foF2日变化形成机理不完全相同。由于地磁纬度的差异,极区对流与日侧光致电离的相互作用造成了两站日侧电离层的不同变化形态,中山站foF2日变化主峰出现在磁地方时中午附近,而Tromso站foF2日变化主峰出现在地方时正午附近;两站日侧foF2受太阳辐射流量影响较大,极光沉降粒子电离在太阳活动低年对中山站foF2日变化形态影响显著。     

An investigation of the causes of abnormal quiet days in Sq (H)

Summary. From a study of 'abnormal quiet days' (AQDs) along the 0° meridian between 14 and 60° N, it was found (Butcher & Brown) that the minimum in H at stations on the poleward side of the Sq ( H ) focus was formed by a small negative substorm event when the normal Sq ( H ) amplitude was reduced by a superposed northward field.
In this paper we consider both the AQD event and the superposed northward field as a function of longitude and also consider in more detail the latitude variation of the superposed northward field. From such a study it is concluded that: (1) the AQD event is definitely due to a small magnetospheric substorm event; (2) the superposed northward field varies smoothly with longitude falling to zero some 110° from the longitude of its maximum amplitude; (3) the superposed northward field has a variation with geomagnetic latitude tending to zero near 20° and 70°N with a maximum near 55° N in summer and 35° N in winter; (4) there is some evidence that the effect of the IMF penetrates into the mid-latitude E-region and its effect is latitude-dependent. Although the evidence supports the suggestion that the currents responsible for the superposed northward field flow in the E-region no suggestion as to the origin of the driving force of the currents is forthcoming.

On the anomalous features of the geomagnetic quiet-day field variations at Nagpur, India

The quiet-day geomagnetic field variation data from the recently commissioned Nagpur geomagnetic observatory, which has augmented the currently active latitudinal chain of Indian magnetic observatories, are analysed for the year 1993- The variations for diurnal frequencies (Sq) recorded at Nagpur do not follow the expected trend with latitude. This is most conspicuous in the northward horizontal ( X ) component. The anomalous behaviour at Nagpur is also seen in the diurnal harmonic amplitudes when compared with those of the neighbouring stations Alibag (south of Nagpur) and Ujjain (north of Nagpur). This behaviour is attributed to the presence of electrically conducting anomalous sources in the vicinity of Nagpur. The anomalous internal source is inferred to be located at relatively shallower depths and is highly localized.     

Development of a polar magnetic substorm: a two-dimensional magnetometer array study

A polar magnetic substorm on 1974 September 11 was recorded by a two-dimensional array of 25 three-component magnetometers, so located that the westward ionospheric current passed over the array. The mean perturbation fields over five-minute intervals are presented at six representative epochs of the substorm, the first just before its onset and the sixth 21/2 hr later in the coda of the event. At four of the resulting 'time frames', the perturbation fields have been fitted, on a least-squares criterion, by calculated fields of three-dimensional current loops having downward field-aligned current at the east end of the ionospheric westward current, upward field-aligned current at the west end and closure in the magnetotail. The current density was constant across the width of each of these model currents. In three of the four time frames it proved necessary to introduce a bend to the northwest in the ionospheric current; this bend occurred within 27° (geomagnetic) west of geomagnetic midnight. An association with the Harang discontinuity is possible. The field-aligned current nearer to the array (in one time-frame the downward, east-end current, in two others the upward current at the west end) proved essential to secure any reasonable fit to the data. The ionospheric segment of the current loop moved at least 20° of longitude eastward, relative to the surface of the earth, between 07.48 and 08.58 UT. In this 70-min period the ionospheric segment moved at least 38° eastward relative to magnetic midnight.     

极光吸收的日变化与季变化

麦阔里岛和戴维斯站分别位于极光带中心和极光带极向边缘区内.这两处的极光吸收次数在晚间多些,其中突然性吸收主要出现在午夜(当地地磁时间)前,缓变性吸收在午夜后.极光吸收与太阳的活动性密切相关.太阳风高能粒子主要沉降在极光中心带磁午夜区,然后向东西与南北方向扩散,以向西的电射流为主,向东的为辅.但向西的弱些、速度慢些;向东的强些、速度快些.太阳活动增强后,尤其是强的X耀斑事件后,向西的电射流增多增强.另外,在较高磁纬地区的戴维斯站,冬季时极光吸收增多增强.但在极光中心区的麦阔里岛观测站,基本上无此种季节效应.这可能是由于冬季(对南半球而言)极光卵向南偏移造成的.     

Observation of electric currents in the Alaska oil pipeline resulting from auroral electrojet current sources

Summary. Currents in the 1.28 × 10³ km Alaska oil pipeline, induced from the ionospheric, auroral electrojet, were measured at three sites, near Fairbanks, Paxson and Valdez, Alaska, using a gradient configuration of two fluxgate magnetometers. The observed pipeline current magnitudes, which reached 50 A during times of mild geomagnetic activity, displayed a linear relationship with the electric earth potential. Using the induction relationship between the electric and magnetic fields and the typical spectral composition of the geomagnetic field at high latitudes, I obtained a spectral appearance of the current that shows a maximum in the range of 4.5- to 10-min period. Near Fairbanks the pipeline current amplitudes, I (Amperes), could be represented, approximately, by I = 0.65 B _x T ^−0.5, where B _x(nT) is the north—south geomagnetic field variation amplitude and T (min) is its apparent period. There is much less pipelines current at the sites south of Fairbanks. A previously established relationship between the local electric field and the planetary geomagnetic activity index, Ap , permitted a prediction of the pipeline current surge amplitudes in the Fairbanks region as approximately I = 5.0 Ap . Current surges larger than 500 A may be expected rather often in the Alaska pipeline during large geomagnetic storms.     

A definitive model of the geomagnetic field and its secular variation for 1965 — I. Derivation of model and comparison with the IGRF

Summary. Using a very large body of post-1955 data, a spherical harmonic model of the geomagnetic field and its secular variation is derived for 1965.0. This model is compared with the original International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF) and with individual models used, or proposed for use, in producing the IGRF. Positions of the dip-poles, the geomagnetic poles and the eccentric dipole are derived from the model, together with their rates of change, and comparisons are made with other estimates of these positions.
