Stratospheric ozone variability near the IMF sector boundary

Summary We search for the effects of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) sector boundary crossing (SBC) in upper stratospheric ozone. The SBUV data (Nimbus-7) at the 10, 3 and 1 hPa levels are analysed for latitudes 45° N and 55° N for winters of the period December 1979 to December 1982. An effect of the IMF SBC wos only found at the 10 hPa level. These first results concerning the IMF SBC effect in upper stratospheric ozone are rather preliminary.

Consequences of transducer inductance for seismograph calibration

Summary The magnification achieved with the standard sine-wave method using seismometers with the calibration and signal coils tightly wound on the same coil former can be erroneous at high frequencies due to the mutual inductance between both coils. An attempt was made to eliminate this influence from the calibration data. The application of theoretical equations was tested with a short-period digital seismograph.

Effects of the imf sector structure in the midlatitude troposphere and stratosphere

Summary The data on geopotential heights and temperatures at 7 pressure levels between 1000-10 hPa above Berlin(52.5 °N, 13.4 °E) are analysed for the winters of 1963–1973. No demonstrable effect of the interplanetary magnetic field sector boundary crossing (IMF SBC) is found in the lower and middle stratosphere, but there is a demonstrable effect in the middle troposphere at the 500 hPa level. This effect is less important than the IMF SBC effect in the tropospheric vorticity area index and seems to be of a different type.

Changes in the reflectivity of the midlatitude ionosphere with respect to the ULF (Pc1) signal

Summary The method of numerical modelling of ionospheric filtration of the Fourier components of a signal from the frequency range of Pc1 micropulsations is employed in the spectral analysis (frequency f, angle of incidence ) of the relative characteristic of the amplitude and energy reflectivity of the ionospheric layer with respect to ordinary Alfvén modes incident in the meridional plane. The results are presented for four different models characterizing the midlatitude day- and night-time ionosphere under low and high solar activity. The results indicate the specificity of filtration of ordinary Alfvén waves. It is proved that the lower region of the modelled ionosphere, as part of the midlatitude ionospheric wave guide (in particular the F2 layer), behaves like an Alfvén resonator in the given spectral range.

Statistical analysis of values measured in condensating geodetic nets

Summary Procedure for verifying the agreement between parameters common to the basic and connecting trigonometric net. Procedure of determining the accuracy of the connecting net. This determination concerns not only the relativized accuracy of the points of the connecting network, but also the mutual accuracy of the points of the basic net relative to the points of the connecting net and the global accuracy of the resultant net. The procedure takes into account the accuracy of the points of the basic net which remain unchanged in computing the coordinates of new points.

Constraints to the three-dimensional non-hydrostatic density distribution in the earth

Summary The paper is concerned with the properties of a density distribution within the Earth. A system of density parameter constraints involving Stokes' coefficients of the gravity field and the parameters describing the Earth's figure is derived. A density model, whose parameters fit these constraints, accounts for the fine structure of the gravity field and Earth's figure. Additional condition imposed on the average spherical density model are derived; they guarantee that the average spherical model is compatible with the 3-D density model.

Seismic response of weakly laterally inhomogeneous structure

Summary The seismic response (the transfer properties) of a model consisting of two layers above a homogeneous halfspace, with curved interfaces and continuously laterally varying velocity within the layers is investigated assuming vertical plane SH-wave incidence from below. The frequency response and the synthetic seismograms are computed by the ray and matrix methods. The dependence of the seismic response on the prevailing frequencies of the incident wave, the role of the individual layers in forming the seismic response, as well as the effect of causal absorption are studied.

Simple model for long-range forecasts of AT500 hPa level fluctuations

Summary A forecast model to predict the fluctuations of level AT 500 hPa in a selected grid of points is derived. The solution of the compensation equation is sought in the form of a trigonometric polynomial in three idependent variables. It constitutes the basis of a numerical solution of the prediction problem with the use of a high-speed computer. A three-month forecast of the altitude fluctuation of level 500 hPa is evaluated by means of the daily values of the correlation coefficient. The results are satisfactory and the general evaluation shows the model to be prospective.

Radioactive and trace element distribution in basaltic rocks of Lower Silesia

Summary The distribution of radioactive(Th, U, K) and selected trace(Rb, Sr, Ba, Y, Zr, V, Cr, Ni) elements in volcanic rocks from the Opole and Jawor regions of the Lower Silesia has been studied. The behaviour of these elements in the studied rocks indicates that the Lower Silesian volcanic rocks are characterized by less differentiated type than other volcanic rocks of the Bohemian Massif, the Opole rock types probably having a less differentiated character than the Jawor rock types.

Seismically active fracture zones and distribution of thermal springs in Ecuador

Summary The analysis of the geometry of distribution of earthquake foci occurring in the continental South American plate above the subducted Nazca plate reveals that in the region of Ecuador these earthquakes accumulate in 8 well-separated fracture zones. These zones are interpreted as a system of deep seismically active fractures induced in the continental plate by the process of subduction. It is shown that the position of known thermal springs and of observed hydrothermal alterations in Ecuador correlates with the outcrops of the fracture zones.

Determination of tidal torques independently of densities

Summary The components of the tidal torques along the axes of the inertia ellipsoid of a perfectly elastic Earth have been derived quite independently of the density distribution of masses within the Earth. It has been demonstrated that not only the sectorial, but also the tesseral terms in the tidal forming potential are responsible for the tidal deceleration of the Earth's rotation.

The ionosphere of higher geomagnetic latitudes (L=3 andL=5) as a ulf wave filter

Summary Eight models of the ionosphere in the MHD approximation over the whole range of required heights(50–3000 km) are synthesized on the basis of other theoretical studies and a number of empirical methods for the purposes of modelling the ionospheric filtration of the natural micropulsation (Pc1) signal. The models represent a vertically inhomogeneous and dissipative daytime and nighttime ionosphere of higher latitudes in two regions (L=3 and L=5) of the Northern Hemisphere in summer under low (F _10.7 =70) and high (F _10.7 =200) solar activity. The higher ionosphere (h>200 km) is approximated by a quasineutral oxygen-hydrogen plasma(O ⁺,H ⁺) taking into account the wave-dissipating effects of the neutral component(O, He). The procedure of computing the physical parameters, locally characterizing the medium of the ionosphere, is demonstrated.
