Difference between the spectra of acoustic gravity waves in daytime and nighttime hours due to nonequilibrium effects in the atmosphere

The singularities of the wave disturbance spectra of the nonequilibrium atmosphere in the range of acoustic gravity waves (AGWs) have been analyzed. Using the dispersion ratio for AGWs in the nonequilibrium atmosphere, it has been established that the spectra in the daytime and nighttime hours are different and this difference, caused by a nonequilibrium spectrum sensitivity to atmospheric temperature, can reach several percent in certain atmospheric regions. For the spectrum of the equilibrium model of the atmosphere, the difference between the daytime and nighttime spectra makes up several fractions of percent. As a result of the spectral treatment of variations in pressure and intensity of cosmic rays (CRs), it has been found out that the daytime AGW spectrum is higher-frequency than the nighttime spectrum. A comparison of the theoretical calculations of the AGW spectrum with observations has made it possible to distinguish the effect of nonequilibrium in the AGW spectral composition.     

Evaluation of dynamic eccentricities obtained using a probabilistic approach,response spectrum methods and modern building codes

In this paper a probabilistic approach has been adopted to study both the effects of uncertainty in earthquake frequency content and the correlation between earthquake frequency content and ground motion intensity on the response of a single-storey torsionally coupled elastic structure. The earthquake ground motion has been assumed to be a Gaussian, zero mean, stationary random process which is fully characterized by a power spectrum. The ground acceleration power spectrum is idealized as a probabilistic normalized power spectrum computed from actual earthquake records. The advantage of such an idealization is that it enables the effect of the natural frequency as a controlling structural parameter in torsional coupling to be assessed. Comparisons of the dynamic amplifications of eccentricity with those obtained from modern codes of practice and conventional response spectrum analyses have been made. The results of this study have shown that the variation in the frequency content has a significant effect on the response of low frequency structures, while the correlation between the frequency content and the intensity of seismic ground motion is insignificant for the wide range of structures considered. The structure natural frequency has been shown to be an important controlling parameter in the torsionally coupled response of structures subject to seismic loading. The frequency dependence of the dynamic amplification of eccentricity was found not to be reflected in the response spectrum analysis and the torsional provisions of modern building codes.     

Wavelet-based generation of spectrum-compatible time-histories

This paper deals with the well-known problem of generating spectrum-compatible synthetic accelerograms for the linear and non-linear time-history analyses of structural systems. A wavelet-based procedure has been used to decompose a recorded accelerogram into a desired number of time-histories with non-overlapping frequency contents, and then each of the time-histories has been suitably scaled for matching of the response spectrum of the revised accelerogram with a specified design spectrum. The key idea behind this iterative procedure is to modify a recorded accelerogram such that the temporal variations in its frequency content are retained in the synthesized accelerogram. The proposed procedure has been illustrated by modifying five recorded accelerograms of widely different characteristics such that those are compatible with the same USNRC design spectrum.

On the use of maximum entropy/autoregressive spectrum in harmonic analysis of time series

The maximum entropy (ME) spectrum, or its equivalent form of the autoregressive (AR) spectrum, has been used as a tool for harmonic analysis of time series in geophysics. This paper critically examines its usage in estimating the amplitude and the exponential decay rate of a harmonic function. The argument is based upon Prony's relation, which relates a complex-conjugate pair of poles for the AR model of the time series on one hand, to the complex frequency of one harmonic component in the time series on the other. It is found that: (i) the ME spectrum can be used as an estimator for the decay rate in a way similar to the Fourier spectral analysis; (ii) the ME spectrum contains no information whatsoever about the amplitude, contrary to what has been claimed and practiced in geophysical applications.     

Nonlinear character of ion cyclotron waves (Pc1 pulsations) with a spreading dynamical spectrum

New types of Pc1 geomagnetic pulsations with a narrow dynamical spectrum at the onset of an event and with a very broad spectrum during the development of the process have been analyzed. The observed phenomena can be divided into three types according to the evolution of their dynamical spectra: (1) events with a spectrum spreading toward low frequencies, (2) events with a symmetrically spreading spectrum, and (3) events with a spectrum spreading toward high frequencies. All events were mainly observed at local night during the recovery phase of moderate magnetic storms. It has been proposed to interpret spreading Pc1 pulsation spectra as manifestations of ion cyclotron wave nonlinearity.     

ESTIMATION OF SPECTRUM AND CROSS-SPECTRUM OF AEROMAGNETIC FIELD USING FAST DIGITAL FOURIER TRANSFORM (FDFT) TECHNIQUES*

An efficient method of computing spectrum and cross-spectrum of large scale aero-magnetic field (or of any other two-dimensional field) has been developed and programmed for a digital computer. The method uses fast Fourier transform techniques. Briefly, the method is as follows: a digitized aeromagnetic map is divided into a number of rectangular blocks. Fourier transforms of these blocks are computed using a two-dimensional fast Fourier transform method. Finally, the amplitude of the Fourier transforms is averaged to give the desired spectrum. Computation of cross-spectrum follows the same lines. In fact, the same programme may be used to a compute the spectrum as well as cross-spectrum. The method has a number of computational advantages, in particular it reduces greatly computational time and storage requirements. The programme has been tested on synthetic data as well as on real aeromagnetic data. It took less than 30 seconds on an IBM 360/50 computer to compute the spectrum of an aeromagnetic map covering an area of approximately 4500 square miles.     

基于条件Newmark-Hall三联谱的时程分析选波方法

条件均值谱（CMS）已成为目前国内外广受关注及认可的结构抗震时程分析选波的目标谱,但其无法同时兼顾多个周期点谱加速度具有相同的地震危险水平,对于须考虑多阶振型影响的长周期结构尚存局限。Newmark-Hall三联谱是基于加速度峰值（PGA）、速度峰值（PGV）和位移峰值（PGD）并联合短、中、长周期相关放大系数建立的反应谱,与短、中、长周期结构均具有天然良好的相关性,其与概率地震危险性分析（PSHA）结合较弱及具有经验化特征。将两种反应谱的优势相结合,即将CMS的“条件分布”理念引入Newmark-Hall三联谱,建立了条件Newmark-Hall三联谱（即CN-H）,并提出了以CN-H为目标谱的选波方法（即CN-H方法）。以美国SAC计划设计的3层和9层抗弯钢框架结构为例,将CN-H方法与以CMS为目标谱的选波方法所得结果进行了对比。CN-H方法对于结构反应均值的估计与CMS方法具有一致的准确性,且所得结构反应的离散性也较低,可见CN-H方法对于结构弹塑性时程分析选波具有良好的适用性。

Electromagnetic and plasma effects during a carrier rocket flight

The disturbance generation model for the total electron content of the ionosphere and formation of the narrowband spectrum of electromagnetic disturbance on the Earth during a rocket flight along the horizontal leg of the trajectory has been considered. It has been indicated that a change in the total electron content is caused by the propagation of an acoustic gravity wave pulse, generated during a rocket flight along the horizontal trajectory leg, in the ionosphere. This pulse forms horizontal inhomogeneities of ionospheric conductivity in the bottomside ionosphere. Electric currents, induced by the background electromagnetic field in these inhomogeneities, are emitters of discrete modes of coherent gyrotropic waves propagating horizontally in a conductive layer of a finite thickness in the bottomside ionosphere. The line spectrum of electromagnetic disturbances has been calculated. The calculation results agree with the observational data.     

Relativistic solar protons in the event of January 20, 2005: Model studies

Using the optimization methods, the characteristics of relativistic solar protons (RSPs) have been obtained from the data of ground-based cosmic ray detectors in the event of January 20, 2005, which was the largest event in the last 50 years since the event of February 23, 1956. The RSP dynamics during the event has been studied. The existence of two populations (components) of particles, fast and delayed (slow) has been shown. The fast component with a hard exponential energy spectrum and strong anisotropy was shown as a giant pulselike enhancement at several southern polar stations. The delayed component had a power-law energy spectrum and a wider pitch-angle distribution, which caused the enhancement effect at the majority of stations at the global network.     

适用于三维隐式叠前深度偏移中矩阵求逆的混合算法

在深度偏移方法中，把二维隐式方法推广到三维，就会面对一个分块对角矩阵求逆问题. 通常，这种矩阵的求逆将耗费大量计算时间，严重制约了三维隐式方法偏移在实际资料处理中的广泛应用. 在螺旋边界条件下，该矩阵H具有Toeplitz结构的正定厄密矩阵，其快速求逆可由谱法LU分解或直解法快速实现. 本文结合谱法LU分解和直接解法方法的优点，提出了一种混合算法. 文中采用谱分解方法建立起矩阵列元素的谱分解表，并采用直解法的递推公式，可以快速给出矩阵的分解. 通过与谱法分解和直解法在分解精度和分解速度两方面的比较表明，本文方法与谱法相比，在非均匀介质中亥姆霍兹算子矩阵分解时的精度提高10倍；在计算速度方面，混合方法比简化后的直解法快. 因此，该方法的提出，在计算精度许可的条件下，最大限度地减少三维隐式差分偏移中矩阵求逆占用的时间，从而使得该方法能真正用于实际地震资料的处理.

Modeling the effect of plasma density on the dynamics of the microwave spectrum of solar flaring loops

The energetic electron distribution dynamics and radioemission have been numerically simulated in order to interpret three characteristic types of the frequency spectrum slope dynamics between 17 and 34 GHz in different parts of solar flaring loops observed with the Nobeyama Radioheliograph. In all types, the spectrum slope decreases at the rise phase of microwave burst. The behavior is qualitatively different at the decay phase of the burst: the spectrum slope increases immediately after the burst maximum in the first type; continues decreasing or stabilizes, not reaching zero, in the second type; and continues decreasing to zero and becomes positive in the third type. The parameters at which the calculated dynamics of the frequency spectrum slope in different parts of the magnetic loop most strictly corresponds to the observed dynamics have been found. It has been indicated that the first type of the spectrum slope dynamics is related to an increase and decrease in the radio source optical thickness at the rise and decay phases, respectively. The second type is caused by the flattening of the electron energy spectrum that continues at the decay phase. The third type is related to a gradual flattening process of the electron energy spectrum, combined with a large ratio of the plasma density to the magnetic field strength (n ₀ /B) within a loop, and is explained by the Razin effect.

离散快速傅里叶变换算法在频谱分析中得到了广泛的应用,这种算法得到的计算结果是在整个频段上的频谱信息. 在一些应用中,需要了解的仅仅是某一窄带内的频谱精细结构,要求频谱的分辨率较高. 而要得到一个较高分辨率的频谱,直接采用快速傅里叶变换计算则会导致参加快速傅里叶变换运算的数据点数的增加,从而引起计算量和存储量的急剧增大,这样,快速傅里叶变换算法就不能满足要求了. 本文介绍了基于复调制的频率细化技术的原理及其在超低频/极低频电磁接收机研制中的应用,阐述了采用这种技术如何实现高分辨率频谱的计算,并给出了理论数据和实际观测数据的计算结果.
