同ENSO现象相关联的日长亚季节变化

本文利用小波分析方法研究了地球自转日长亚季节近50天和近120天周期变化的时频特征．结果表明,日长近120天周期变化及近50天周期变化的振幅具有明显的年际变化．ENSO事件发生之前,日长近50天周期变化加强,进入ENSO时期,逐渐减弱,成为ENSO产生的先兆之一,同时,日长近120天周期变化显著增强80年代,日长近50天周期变化明显发生了两次周期分岔分岔的一种趋势经历了一个周期延长的过程,收敛于ENSO时期增强的近120天周期变化,该过程不仅与ENSO现象相关联而且可能受到近10年波动的调制作用.同时证实了日长近120天周期变化及近50天周期变化的激发机制主要是同频段的大气环流变化所导致。     

厄尔尼诺与太阳活动的50d振荡

本文分析研究了１９８１—１９９４年太阳辐射流量（２８００ＭＨｚ）、太阳黑子相对数、大气角动量和地球自转日长变化序列的５０ｄ振荡．振荡周期的变化范围从４０ｄ至６０ｄ，它们的变化规律极其相似。１９８１年－１９９４年期间发生的３次厄尔尼诺均出现在太阳活动的５０ｄ振荡周期的谷值时期．这说明太阳活动的５０ｄ振荡可能是引起厄尔尼诺事件的一种原因．

全球海洋对极移周年运动的激发

目前海洋对极移季节变化的激发尚未得到合理的定量结果.许多研究已经表明大气运动是极移季节变化最大的激发源,海洋运动是剩余部分最主要的激发源之一.利用新一代SODA海洋同化资料(SODA_1.4.2和SODA_1.4.3)以及ECCO海洋同化资料,深入研究了1992—2004年全球海洋对极移周年变化的激发以及激发随纬度的分布.结果表明,SODA海洋激发的季节变化与从测地激发函数中扣除大气、陆地水作用剩余部分的季节变化在所研究的大部分时段非常接近,二者的周年振幅和位相结果基本相当.此外,与早期SODA_Beta 7的结果比较,新一代的SODA海洋激发有了明显改善.SODA和ECCO海洋对极移周年激发的纬度分布,在格林威治方向上比较一致;在东经90°方向上有明显的差别.     

A possible contribution of the solar wind to annual fluctuation in the Length of Day

Applying Vondrák narrow-band filters on high precision Length of Day (LOD) measurements provided by space observation techniques as well as Atmosphere Angular Momentum (AAM) computed by U.S. National Meteorological Center (NMC), we show variation in amplitude of the annual components. From filter series of LOD and AAM, we find that annual variation of the LOD induced by AAM is about 20% higher than observed one. The aim of this work is to investigate how far the torque applied by the solar wind on the Earth's magnetosphere could contribute to explain this excess. The advocated dynamical mechanism could counterbalance annual discrepancies between AAM and LOD by an amount of 20%. Therefore, the torque produced by the solar wind on the earth might be considered as one of the most possible contributions to annual fluctuation in LOD.     

Modulation of Acoustic Waves by Solar Convection

Amplitude and phase of an acoustic oscillation in the solar convection zone vary in response to the local variation of the speed of sound and the convection velocity. Such wave modulation is considered by means of a two-dimensional periodic model, with alternating vertical channels of hot rising and cool sinking gas. According to this model, vertically propagating waves show only amplitude modulation. For low wave frequencies the amplitude is larger in the upflow channels, for high frequencies it is larger in the downflow channels. The transition occurs at a frequency for which the vertical wavelength is approximately equal to the horizontal period of the model. Waves with an inclined propagation direction show a similar amplitude modulation but, in addition, a modulation of their phase. The present results are compared with recent observational studies. There is evidence that wave modulation indeed occurs on the Sun, on the granular as well as on the mesogranular scale, in addition to the episodic amplitude enhancement that has been interpreted in terms of local acoustic events.     

STRUCTURE AND ROTATION OF THE SOLAR INTERIOR: INITIAL RESULTS FROM THE MDI MEDIUM-L PROGRAM

The medium-l program of the Michelson Doppler Imager instrument on board SOHO provides continuous observations of oscillation modes of angular degree, l, from 0 to 300. The data for the program are partly processed on board because only about 3% of MDI observations can be transmitted continuously to the ground. The on-board data processing, the main component of which is Gaussian-weighted binning, has been optimized to reduce the negative influence of spatial aliasing of the high-degree oscillation modes. The data processing is completed in a data analysis pipeline at the SOI Stanford Support Center to determine the mean multiplet frequencies and splitting coefficients. The initial results show that the noise in the medium-l oscillation power spectrum is substantially lower than in ground-based measurements. This enables us to detect lower amplitude modes and, thus, to extend the range of measured mode frequencies. This is important for inferring the Sun's internal structure and rotation. The MDI observations also reveal the asymmetry of oscillation spectral lines. The line asymmetries agree with the theory of mode excitation by acoustic sources localized in the upper convective boundary layer. The sound-speed profile inferred from the mean frequencies gives evidence for a sharp variation at the edge of the energy-generating core. The results also confirm the previous finding by the GONG (Gough et al., 1996) that, in a thin layer just beneath the convection zone, helium appears to be less abundant than predicted by theory. Inverting the multiplet frequency splittings from MDI, we detect significant rotational shear in this thin layer. This layer is likely to be the place where the solar dynamo operates. In order to understand how the Sun works, it is extremely important to observe the evolution of this transition layer throughout the 11-year activity cycle.     

On the stability of the satellites of asteroid 87 Sylvia

The triple asteroidal system (87) Sylvia is composed of a 280-km primary and two small moonlets named Romulus and Remus ( Marchis et al. 2005b ). Sylvia is located in the main asteroid belt, with semi-major axis of about 3.49 au, eccentricity of 0.08 and 11° of orbital inclination. The satellites are in nearly equatorial circular orbits around the primary, with orbital radius of about 1360 km (Romulus) and 710 km (Remus). In this work, we study the stability of the satellites Romulus and Remus. In order to identify the effects and the contribution of each perturber, we performed numerical simulations considering a set of different systems. The results from the three-body problem, Sylvia–Romulus–Remus, show no significant variation of their orbital elements. However, the inclinations of the satellites present a long-period evolution with amplitude of about 20° when the Sun is included in the system. Such amplitude is amplified to more than 50° when Jupiter is included. These evolutions are very similar for both satellites. An analysis of these results shows that Romulus and Remus are librating in a secular resonance and their longitude of the nodes are locked to each other. Further simulations show that the amplitude of oscillation of the satellites' inclination can reach higher values depending on the initial values of their longitude of pericentre. In those cases, the satellites get caught in an evection resonance with Jupiter, their eccentricities grow and they eventually collide with Sylvia. However, the orbital evolutions of the satellites became completely stable when the oblateness of Sylvia is included in the simulations. The value of Sylvia's J ₂ is about 0.17, which is very high. However, even just 0.1 per cent of this value is enough to keep the satellite's orbital elements with no significant variation.     

Semi-annual modulation of earth's magnetic field in the equatorial electrojet region

Autospectra in the 2–13 month range, computed from mean monthly horizontal intensity on quiet days at Trivandrum, situated close to the dip equator, suggest an exceedingly large semi-annual modulation of the field confined to an interval of about 5 hr centred at 1000 LT. The amplitude of the semi-annual oscillation at this station, derived from power density, is greater than 19 γ at 1000 LT. Between 1900 and 0500 LT, spectral lines, corresponding to a period of six months, are not observed above the continuum. Spectral densities from observations at two other electrojet stations in India, Kodaikanal and Annamalainagar, and at Alibag, outside the electrojet, establish the existence of an appreciable enhancement of the semi-annual oscillation of the field in the equatorial electrojet belt. Similar computations of spectra using observations on all days, however, suggest a secondary component in the evening sector. This component is not enhanced in the equatorial electrojet belt. It is concluded that while in low latitudes the daytime component is largely associated with the modulation of Sq currents, in the electrojet belt it appears to be due entirely to a semi-annual modulation of the equatorial electrojet. It is also concluded that the secondary component, observed in the evening sector in low latitude and equatorial stations, is associated purely with the modulation of the ring current by disturbance. The two components of the semi-annual variation observed at the Indian stations have also been noticed at several stations between geomagnetic latitudes N54.6° and S41.8°. It is also observed that the association of the semi-annual component with geomagnetic latitude is confined to the evening-night component.     

Characteristics of Enhanced and Low Amplitude Anisotropic Wave Trains and Interplanetary Transients

The occurrence of a large number of high and low amplitude anisotropic wave train events over the years 1981–1994 has been examined along with the different solar features. The results indicate that the time of maximum of diurnal variation significantly remains in the 18-h direction for majority of the high and low amplitude wave trains. The amplitude of diurnal anisotropy remains significantly high and phase shifts towards earlier hours as compared to the quite day annual average values for majority of the HAEs. The diurnal amplitude remains significantly low and phase shifts towards earlier hours as compared to the quiet day annual average values for majority of the LAEs. The occurrence of these enhanced/low amplitude events is found to be dominant during the positive polarity of the Bz component of the interplanetary magnetic field. The amplitude of the diurnal anisotropy of these events is found to increase on the days of magnetic cloud as compared to the days prior to the event and it found to decrease during the later period of the event as the cloud passes the Earth. The high-speed solar wind streams do not play any significant role in causing these types of events. The interplanetary disturbances (magnetic clouds) are also effective in producing cosmic ray decreases.     

An analysis of fine structures in a solar radio burst at 10 cm and a coexisting hard X-ray flare

The solar burst event of 1992-06-07 is analyzed in this paper using HXR material of the Yohkoh satellite and radio data at 2840 MHz observed at Beijing Astronomical Observatory. The results show that during the impulsive phase, the pulsational component had two time scales, a longer one of about 30 s, and a shorter one of 1–4 s. The pulsations on the longer scale are found to be correlated with a series of variations in the HXR images of the source region. A physical picture comprising loop-loop interaction and MHD oscillation modulation is presented.
