基于MESSEGER观测对水星磁尾电流片磁场分布的统计研究

本文利用信使号飞船2011-2015年期间在轨磁场数据对水星磁尾电流片的磁场结构分布特征进行了统计分析.为探究磁场结构分布随水星径向距离的变化,电流片划分为近磁尾（-1.5R_M > X > -2.0R_M）和远磁尾（-2.0R_M > X > -2.5R_M）两个区域.所得结果表明：（1）无论是近磁尾还是远磁尾,电流片中的磁场都以+B_z分量为主,磁场方向几乎与磁赤道面垂直.（2）相比近磁尾,远磁尾电流片中磁场强度、B_z分量较弱,B_y分量较强,而且-B_z信号出现概率相对较大,这表明电流片中磁活动相对容易在远磁尾中发生.（3）磁场强度以及B_z分量在晨昏方向上的分布存在晨昏不对称性——在方位角120°~190°范围内相对较弱.弱B_z数据点（B_z<5 nT）也在昏侧（Y>0）发生较为频繁.（4）与B_z分布相反,磁场强B_y分量（|B_y|>5 nT）倾向于在晨侧（Y<0）发生.统计分析还表明,磁场B_y分量与行星际磁场B_y分量并无明显的相关性.对比地球磁尾电流片,我们对水星磁尾电流片B_z分量、强B_y分量的晨昏不对称起源机制作了探讨分析.     

行星际磁场B_y对弓激波影响的MHD结果

利用全球磁流体模拟的结果,本文研究了行星际磁场B_y对弓激波位型的影响.结果显示:随着行星际磁场B_y绝对值的增大,弓激波的日下点距离、旋转对称张角、南北非对称性以及旋转非对称性均随之增加.其中,B_y对弓激波日下点距离的影响可达5 RE左右.东向B_y和西向B_y对弓激波位型影响具有对称性,东向B_y和西向B_y大小相同时弓激波日下点距离、旋转对称张角以及旋转非对称性参数均相同,而南北非对称性参数大小相同正负相反.行星际磁场B_y占主导时弓激波尾部横截面在南北方向上拉伸,并且拉伸程度随着B_y绝对值的增大而增大,弓激波尾部横截面的拉伸现象与磁声波马赫数密切相关.     

数据类型对三维地面可控源电磁勘探效果的影响

本文基于考虑人工场源辐射的可控源地面电磁勘探三维数值模拟技术,以目前常用的标量可控源音频大地电磁勘探测量方式为依据,讨论地面可控源三维电磁勘探中,为达到最佳的探测效果,如何选择合适的反演数据类型.地面可控源数据的三维反演采用有限内存拟牛顿方法.反演过程中,三维可控源频率域响应数值计算采用交错网格有限差分法,求解基于二次电场的Helmholtz方程.发射装置采用长度为1000m的有限长直导线源,测量频率为10Hz;测点个数200个,分布在10条剖面上.在异常体分布区分别观测(1)电场Ex分量的振幅和相位,(2)Ex振幅,(3)Ex与Ey分量的振幅和相位,(4)Ex与Hy的振幅和相位.反演的数据类型分别为上述4种数据以及导出的阻抗Zxy振幅和相位.反演模型由30×30×20个网格组成,测区内水平方向大小为50m×50m,垂直方向厚度为50m,最后5层厚度倍增.反演都从均匀半空间开始,迭代120次结束.数值模拟结果发现,(1)单个电场分量Ex,其相位信息对异常体信息提取非常重要,若只反演该电场振幅,深部电阻率分辨率低;(2)观测正交电场的效果比单个电场分量效果好,其浅部异常的边缘效应明显减弱,深部异常形态完整;(3)同时观测正交的电场和磁场,反演效果与只观测电场振幅和相位的相当;(4)从阻抗数据反演得到的异常位置和电阻率分布均有较大的改善,反演模型分辨率最好.因此,在理论上,建议在野外数据采集时,最好测量正交电磁场;次之,同时测量正交的电场;最次的,可以只观测电场Ex的振幅和相位,亦可取得较足够的信息.但如果只能获得电场的振幅信息,反演结果的深部将出现较大的不确定性.     

场向电流极性和密度异常事件统计研究

本文利用Swarm卫星2015—2016年高精度的磁场矢量数据,将晨昏地方时扇区高纬场向电流(Field-Aligned Currents,FACs)事件按极性和电流密度分为四类,并首次比较研究了四类FACs事件的时空分布特征及其影响因素,研究发现:极性正常事件(晨侧靠极侧电流元向下流入电离层,靠赤道侧电流元向上流出电离层,昏侧电流极性相反,即传统意义上的R1和R2FACs)发生率约为70%,其中R1FACs强于R2事件的发生率为R1FACs弱于R2的3~5倍;极性异常事件(与传统的R1和R2FACs流向相反,两片电流元定义为R1*和R2*FACs)发生率约占30%,其中R1*R2*的1.5~2.5倍.进一步分析发现极性正常事件主要发生在南向IMF Bz期间,与重联电场相关性较好,净电流密度随着重联电场和电离层电导率的增加而增加.其中R1R2*事件通常发生在IMF By<0期间,昏侧事件主要发生在IMF By>0期间,而R1*相似文献   

On the strength of electric currents and zonal magnetic fields at the top of the Earth''s core: Methodology and preliminary estimates

A new method is described for estimating: (a) the meridional electric current density, j_θ, (b) the vertical growth rate of the zonal magnetic field, ∂B_φ/∂r, or its scale-height, B_φ/∂B_φ/∂r) and (c) the vertical growth rate of the vertical current density, ∂j_r/∂r, at a few isolated points on the top surface of the Earth's core from observations of the internal geomagnetic field at the Earth's surface. The theoretical technique rests on combining unaccelerated, gravitationally-driven Boussinesq fluid dynamics of the core with frozen-flux electromagnetism, the mantle being treated as a spherically symmetric insulator.

Insertion into this theory of main field models for epochs 1965, 1975 leads to preliminary values for these quantities of magnitude: (a) j_θ 1 A/m², (b) ∂B_φ/∂r 10⁻⁶ T/m or B_φ/(∂B_φ/∂r) 10 m, (c) ∂j_r/∂r 10⁻⁶ A/m³. Some geophysical implications of these estimates are discussed.     

行星际磁场对极尖区位形变化的统计研究

利用Cluster卫星数据,选取2001—2010年期间的616个极尖区穿越事件,研究了行星际磁场（IMF）的大小和方向对极尖区位形的影响.结果表明：当B_z为北向时,随着B_x负向的增大,极尖区的磁不变纬度向高纬方向（极区）移动;当B_z为南向时,随着B_x负向增大,极尖区的磁不变纬度略微向低纬度方向（赤道）移动.B_x正向增大时,极尖区并没有明显移动.B_x对极尖区影响在南半球较为显著,在北半球没有明显规律性变化.此外,随着行星际磁场锥角的增大（>90°）,极尖区也随之向高纬移动.当B_z南向时,随着B_y的负向增大,极尖区在北半球向晨侧移动,在南半球向昏侧移动.而当B_z南向增加时,南北半球两个极尖区的磁不变纬度都朝赤道方向移动;但北向B_z时几乎没有移动.     

陆地可控源电磁法探测效果的频率响应

陆地可控源电磁法的观测资料可依据频段范围近似地划分为近区场、中间区场及远区场,但采用测量相互正交电、磁分量,并计算视电阻率的资料处理方式只适用于远区场数据.为更有效地利用陆地可控源电磁法不同区间场的观测资料,本文结合三维数值模拟技术并采用电场分量直接进行反演的策略,对不同区间电场的响应特征与探测效果进行了分析.数值模拟结果表明:近区电场的异常响应最明显,异常响应不随频率发生显著变化,但纵向分辨能力差;远区电场异常响应随频率发生显著变化,其探测深度取决于频率的高低;中间区场较为复杂,地表电场异常响应的等值线中心并不是位于异常体中心正上方,而是在沿场传播方向上向异常体与围岩的分界面处偏移,并且发现中间区场资料的加入会影响反演结果的准确性.综合合成数据和野外实测资料的反演结果,发现结合近区场和远区场资料而舍弃中间区场资料的反演效果更佳,这为陆地可控源电磁法资料的反演解释提供了一种有效途径.     

大尺度场向电流及其与单色极光电子的联系--Swarm卫星观测

Swarm卫星A/C在480km左右高度伴飞,通过二者磁场观测数据,可在不需假设无限大垂直电流片的情况下更加真实地计算出场向电流(FAC).本文利用最新的Swarm观测数据,研究了大尺度场向电流的时空分布特征,及其对行星际条件的依赖;结合极光沉降粒子时空分布信息,探究了场向电流可能载流子及其源区.分析发现:(1)IMF Bz分量主要控制FAC的强度大小,By分量主要改变FAC的结构与分布,最为明显的是0区FAC;(2)昏侧1区上行FAC与单色极光电子的高发区域具有较高的重合度,且在不同行星际条件下均表现出相类似的纬度分布;(3)在上述区域内,FAC密度与单色极光电子能通量表现出较好的相关性.这表明单色极光电子对昏侧1区上行电流起着重要贡献.     

An analogue model study of electromagnetic induction in the Tasmania region

Laboratory analogue model magnetic measurements are carried out for a model of the region including Tasmania, Bass Strait with its highly conductive deep sedimentary basins, and the south coast of mainland Australia. The model source frequencies used simulate naturally occurring geomagnetic variations of periods 5–120 min. In-phase and quadrature magnetic H_x, H_y and H_z field measurements for the modelled region are presented for an approximately uniform overhead horizontal source field for E-polarization (electric field of the source in the N-S direction) and for H-polarization (electric field of the source in the E-W direction). Large anomalous in-phase and quadrature model magnetic fields are observed over Bass Strait and the coastal regions at short periods for both E- and H-polarization, but with increasing period, the field anomalies decrease more rapidly for E-polarization, than for H-polarization. The difference in response with polarization for the Bass Strait region is attributed to current induced in the deep ocean, for all periods, being channelled through Bass Strait for H-polarization but not for E-polarization. The persistent large coastal field anomalies elsewhere, for H-polarization, can be accounted for by the coastal current concentrations due to currents induced in the deep ocean for all periods deflected to the south and to the north by the shelving sea-floor and channelled through Bass Strait and around the southern coast of Tasmania. The phenomena of current deflection and channelling for H-polarization for the geometry of the southern Australia coastline and associated ocean bathymetry is particularly effective in producing field anomalies for a large period range.The coastal horizontal H_x and H_y field anomalies, present for E-polarization at short periods and for H-polarization at all periods, do not extend far inland, and thus, for inland station sites somewhat removed from the coast, should not present serious problems for magnetic soundings in field work. The sharp vertical field (H_z) gradient over Tasmania at short periods, which is predominantly in the E-W direction for E-polarization and the N-S direction for H-polarization, is strongly frequency dependent, becoming almost undetectable at 60 min. The behaviour of the H_z field gradients, however, are very similar from traverse to traverse over inland Tasmania, and thus, the effects of the ocean should not present too serious a problem in the interpretation of field station studies. The discrepancies between model and field station results should be useful in mapping geological boundaries in the region.     

电性源地-井瞬变电磁法全分量响应特性与探测能力分析

结合地面电性源瞬变电磁法（TEM）探测深度大和地-井TEM探测精度高的优点,本文提出对电性源地-井TEM进行研究.基于一维正演理论,本文对电性源在地下激发的六个电磁场分量的扩散、分布特性和探测能力进行分析研究.研究结果表明地下瞬变场各分量的分布特征与地面情况类似,但是对地层的探测能力与地面情况存在较大差别.各分量的探测能力与它们的扩散特性有关,其中受积累电荷作用,垂直电场E_z和水平磁场Ḣ_x分量对目标层的反映最为明显,E_x和Ḣ_y分量在地下扩散时受"返回电流"的影响会出现变号现象,使得异常体带来的影响被掩盖,不易被分辨.本文研究结果为发展电性源地-井TEM的施工技术、数据处理与解释,建立了相应的理论基础,获得了对该方法的初步认识.     

An analogue model study of electromagnetic induction in the eastern coastal region of North America

The behavior of electric and magnetic field variations over the eastern coastal region of North America is studied using a scaled laboratory electromagnetic analogue model. The model source frequency used simulates a period of 1 h in the geophysical scale. The results indicate that deflection and conductive channelling of induced electric current is important for both the E-polarization (northeast-southwest direction of the electric field of the source) and the H-polarization (northwest-southeast) of the source field. In the model, conductive channelling occurs through the Strait of Belle Isle, Cabot Strait, and in the St. Lawrence River. Current deflection is particularly prevalent around the southeast coast of Newfoundland for both E- and H-polarization, and around the northeast coastline of Nova Scotia for E-polarization. The model results also show current deflection by cape and bay coastal features, as well as by ocean depth contours.A comparison of model measurements for the cases of a uniform source field and a line current source indicate that the nature of the source field has a measurable but surprisingly small effect on the vertical to horizontal magnetic field ratio for both E- and H-polarizations, and negligible effect on the magnetotelluric ratio for coastal regions.The model fields in coastal regions were found to be strongly influenced by induced currents, deflected and channelled by the coastline and ocean bathymetry, and were dependent on the nature and particularly the polarization of the source field. Thus, along the complex coastline of eastern North America, a wide range of electric and magnetic field values should be expected. In some regions the coast effect, measured by the vertical to horizontal magnetic field ratio at the coast, could be expected to be extremely small or absent, while in other regions the ratio could approach a value as large as unity for variations of 1 h period.     

渤海海峡及周边区域地壳结构的层析成像特征

渤海海峡是连接中国东部山东半岛和辽东半岛的重要途径,其跨海通道的地壳稳定性研究受到高度关注.本文利用地震层析成像方法重建三维P波速度模型,揭示了渤海海峡及周边区域地壳和上地幔的构造特征.结果表明,渤海海峡的速度结构存在明显的非均匀性,海峡北部地壳速度较高,结构较为完整,断层活动不明显,与现今较弱的地震活动相吻合,但是地壳底部存在低速薄层,它有可能成为地壳和上地幔之间的滑脱带,需要开展进一步的研究加以确认.相比之下,海峡南部地壳速度偏低,附近区域地震活动频繁,与张家口—蓬莱断裂带通过于此有着密切的联系,该断裂持续不断的地震活动对海峡南部的地壳结构产生了较大的影响.在渤海南部,郯庐断裂带东、西两侧的地壳结构明显不同,西侧速度偏高,东侧至渤海海峡速度偏低,这一特征可能与此地区广泛发育的断层和地震活动有关.另外,受华北克拉通破坏及地幔上涌的影响,渤海地区地壳深部和上地幔速度偏低,郯庐断裂带及渤海海峡附近显示出深部热流的活动迹象,反映了岩石圈减薄和软流圈的局部抬升.     

极点热层密度变化特征及其受太阳风扇形结构调制

本文基于2002年至2010年的GRACE卫星的观测密度统计分析南北极点的热层大气密度的世界时（即磁地方时）变化.研究发现：在9—11月份地球处于行星际磁场为背向太阳的扇区内（背向扇区）时,南极点热层密度在约17∶00 UT（13∶30 MLT）达到最大值,比日平均值高约22%;而在6—8月份,当地球处于行星际磁场为面向太阳的扇区内（面向扇区）时,北极点热层密度在06∶00 UT（12∶30 MLT）达到最大值,比日平均值高约13%.南极点的磁纬是-74°,其在15∶30 UT处于磁地方时正午,恰与极尖区位置重合.北极点在5∶30 UT处于磁地方时正午,此时北极点与极尖区位置最靠近.因此,极点热层大气密度的磁地方时变化可能是其周期性靠近极尖区的结果.南北极点热层密度的磁地方时变化分别在背向和面向扇区内更明显,这可能与行星际磁场B_y分量对南北半球密度的不同影响有关.统计结果还表明,极点热层大气密度的磁地方时变化在冬季半球内不明显.这可能是由于在冬季半球,沉降于极尖区的粒子相比夏季半球少、沉降高度低,因而能量沉降所引起的热层上部的密度增强较小.     

自然电场的区域性变化特征

以场源为分类原则,地电场E由自然电场E_SP和大地电场E_T构成.E_SP起源于地下介质物理、化学作用,通常其变化及稳定性具有明显的局部场地特征;E_T起源于空间电流系和潮汐力,在日变波形、频谱特征上表现出广域性.在形成微观机理方面,E_SP和E_T能够具有部分相同的机理过程.2008—2013年,在南北地震带附近13个代表性场地,多数E_SP不具有清晰的年变波形,其稳定性也受区域、场地、方位、构造活动等因素影响.在这些地区,E_SP较平稳的持续升降、快速跃变、突跳等现象常见,同一主断裂带附近或局部区域内,这些大幅变化的趋势转折点多具有时间同步或准同步性,同一时段数据稳定性可能类似,但形态变化存在场地因素而不具相关性.E_SP较平稳期间,应用潮汐地电场频谱特征计算的裂隙水主体渗流方位α易处于相对稳定状态,而在其剧烈变化期间的α常会明显变化.以潮汐地电场频谱特征逐日计算α值,可能揭示场地裂隙、裂隙水渗流、主压应力的逐日变化信息,进而可解析E_SP、E_T宏观变化的微观机理过程.     

On the behaviour of the induction arrows over a buried conductive plate — a numerical model study

Two-dimensional numerical model calculations, employing a finite difference technique, are used to study the behaviour of the induction arrows, for a range of periods, for a conductive plate of (i) semi-infinite and (ii) finite width in uniform and layered resistive hosts. The results for the conductive plate at the surface of the host have application to a uniform-depth ocean, while the results for the plate buried at some depth in the resistive host have application to a conductive sill in a resistive Earth. The numerical results indicate that for a profile over the plate-host vertical interface the in-phase arrows for all periods and locations point towards the conductive plate, while the quadrature arrows at periods near the characteristic period of the model are oppositely directed on either side of the interface so as to point towards each other and towards the interface for nearby locations, both over the conductive plate and the resistive host. Further, the quadrature arrow undergoes a second reversal over the resistive host at a distance from the interface that is somewhat dependent on the period. Thus, at either side of the location of this second reversal, the quadrature induction arrows are again oppositely directed, but pointing away from each other, with the arrows near the interface pointing towards, and the more distant arrows pointing away from the conductive plate. The period range for the quadrature-arrow reversal is characteristic of conductivities and layer depths. The features of the quadrature-arrow sign reversals at and near the interface are in accordance with the earlier laboratory analogue model results of Hebert et al. for the Newfoundland coastal region and Nienaber et al. for a conductive plate in a resistive host.

It is suggested that in practice the sign reversal of the quadrature arrow may aid in locating a conductor-host interface, and that if the conductivity of the host is known, the maximum in the anomalous vertical magnetic field response may permit an approximate determination of the conductive-layer depth.     

Electromagnetic induction in the San Juan Bay region of Vancouver Island

The response of the electric and magnetic field variations over the San Juan Bay region of Vancouver Island is studied using a scaled laboratory analogue model. The laboratory frequencies simulate periods of 10 and 100 s in the geophysical problem. The model results indicate that, for both E- and H-polarization of the source field, induced current in the ocean is deflected around Cape Flattery and channelled into the Juan de Fuca Strait. With increasing period, the proportion of current channelled into the Strait decreases sharply. Induced current in the strait is also funnelled into San Juan Bay, a finger-shaped bay ca. 4 km wide and 7.5 km long, for both polarizations of the source field. The effect of the Bay on the field response is confined to the local region, within approximately 6 km of the centre of the Bay. Good agreement between field station and analogue model H_z results was obtained for the San Juan Bay. The behaviour of the Parkinson arrow for these two stations is examined with the aid of the analogue model results.     

基于Davis-Smith方法计算卫星磁强计零位补偿的误差特征研究

卫星所携带的磁通门磁强计会随时间发生零位漂移,因此需要对其进行补偿.基于行星际磁场的剪切阿尔芬波动特性,利用Davis-Smith方法可计算磁强计的零位磁场.本文利用数值模拟,分析了总磁场幅度B_T及压缩波动对Davis-Smith方法所产生零位补偿的误差特征.我们发现,B_T越大,零位补偿误差越大;且当压缩波动频率和剪切波动频率不同时,磁场各分量的零位补偿之间的比值与对应背景磁场的比值近似相等;压缩波动的幅度越小,零位补偿的误差趋于更小;此外,压缩波动的频率和初始相位等也会影响零位补偿的误差.这些误差特征可为提高零位补偿的可靠性提供重要的理论依据.     

张家口—渤海地震带岩石圈磁场时空变化特征

利用2016—2018年3期华北地区流动地磁矢量原始测量资料, 经数据计算获得2期华北地区和张家口—渤海地震活动带及邻区岩石圈磁场时空变化模型。 研究结果显示: 张家口—渤海地震带岩石圈磁场变化空间分布不均匀, 具有明显的分区特征, 在张家口段(西段)与北京段(中西段)分界处和北京段(中西段)与唐山段(中东段)分界处岩石圈磁场各要素具有明显的异常变化, 如水平矢量存在转向和幅值变化, 磁偏角与磁倾角具有正负异常高梯度带的特征, 这与张家口—渤海地震带构造分段性特征密切相关。 张家口—渤海地震带位于燕山块体与华北平原块体之间, 两者运动的平动速率之差是张家口—渤海地震带左旋走滑的直接动力来源, 而各断裂带左旋走滑速率之差很可能是岩石圈磁场空间变化分段性分布的主要原因。     

Low temperature magnetic properties of titanomagnetites

New measurements of high field magnetisation (I_s), remanence (I_s), and coercive force (H_c) are presented between 4 and 300 K for x = 0.4, 0.5, 0.6 and 0.8 (Fe_3−xTi_xO₄). For x = 0.4 a pronounced minimum is found at T100 K and for X = 0.5 and 0.6 broad minima occur around T200 K, apparently coinciding with the temperature for K₁0. The magnetic properties below T60 K ar complex and were found to be significantly changed by cooling in the presence of a high magnetic field. With no applied field during cooling, a distinct decrease in I_s is observed for T60 K, at which temperature there is a peak in the value of I_rs. The effe cooling is to eliminate the sharp decrease in I_s, reduce H_c and to increase I_rs below 60 K to a value the peak value, giving essentially a square hysteresis loop. The results are interpreted in terms of a form of crystallographic phase transition coupled to the magnetisation direction, possibly by the magnetostriction. Square hysteresis loops in ferrites have been explained by the presence of Jahn-Teller ions and, in the present case, the low temperature of the observed effect may be a consequence of the weak Fe²⁺ Jahn-Teller ion coupled to other effects such as spin-lattice coupling.

Details of this work can be found in Schmidbauer, E. and Readman, P.W., 1982. Low temperature magnetic properties of Ti-rich Fe---Ti spinels. J. Magn. Magn. Mat., 27: 114–118. A paper reporting further work on Fe_2.4Ti0.6O0.4 is in preparation.
