Some mechanical analogies of magnetodynamic oscillations in a homogeneous medium

Zusammenfassung Es wird auf die Analogien hingewiesen zwischen dem einfachsten Fall der Resonanz einer ebenen MD-Welle im Modell homogener Schicht der Erdmagnetosph?re und horizontaler Schwingung einer homogenen elastischen S?ule mit einem befestigten Ende. Es wird qualitativ die Analogie zwischen dem Anprall eines materiellen K?rpers an eine elastische S?ule mit einem befestigten Ende und dem Stoss der Front von Sonnenwind auf die Erdmagnetosph?re angedeutet. Diese Ann?herung erm?glicht die Illustration einiger Züge von Pulsationen, welche pl?tzliche Ver?nderungen in magnetischem Felde der Erde (Impulse si, ssc u. ?.) begleiten und deren Beschreibung auf Grund pr?ziser Theorie der Verbreitung von MD-Wellen sehr schwierig ist.

Mean Earth'S Equipotential Surface From Topex/Poseidon Altimetry

The geopotential value of W ₀ = (62 636 855.611 ± 0.008) m ² s ^–2 which specifies the equipotential surface fitting the mean ocean surface best, was obtained from four years (1993 - 1996) of TOPEX/POSEIDON altimeter data (AVISO, 1995). The altimeter calibration error limits the actual accuracy of W ₀ to about (0.2 - 0.5) m ² s ^–2 (2 - 5) cm. The same accuracy limits also apply to the corresponding semimajor axis of the mean Earth's level ellipsoid a = 6 378 136.72 m (mean tide system), a = 6 378 136.62 m (zero tide system), a = 6 378 136.59 m (tide-free). The variations in the yearly mean values of the geopotential did not exceed ±0.025 m ² s ^–2 (±2.5 mm).     

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.

Single- and inter-station transfer functions for non-synchronous geomagnetic arrays-II. the results of the field data analysis

Summary The theory of methods of computing single- and inter-station transfer functions in both the spectral and time domains was developed in paper[1]. Both approaches are applied to the variation data recorded at field stations along two non-simultaneous profiles traversing the eastern margin of the Bohemian Massif, where a zone of anomalous induction seems to mark an important geological boundary of formations with different histories of development. The results of both analyses are found to coincide within reasonable bounds of 20–30% in the principal induction characteristics.

Explanation of the internal air pressure effect on the worden gravity meter dial constant

Summary A model, explaining the effect of air pressure changes in the space of the measuring system on the fine dial counter constant of the Worden and similar gravity meters, is presented. It is based on the changes of the bellows volume with compensating the gravity changes. It is shown that the resetting the gravity meter in the whole range has practically no influence on the fine dial counter constant.

Stabilization System for Waste Water Treatment and Use. Part 1. Chemistry

The difficulties arisen in an assimilation pond, as it is called, after 17 years of operation were solved by a stabilization system for the purification of effluents and utilization for fish breeding. It consists of two basins (0.56 and 1.04 ha) and a fish pond (15.58 ha) to which water can flow from a brook by-passing the system. When the stabilization system had worked for 6 years, it was proved that in the case of the average daily intake of milk of 93,846…118,134 litres, effluents flowing out of the dairy plant amounted to 205.28…228.53 m³, on average. The BOD₅ of effluents ranged from 201.33 to 261.73 kg/d and the total solids ranged from 95.5 to 139.3 kg/d on average. The average daily outflow from the pond amounted to 394.7…1567.0 m³ of water with 4.1…23.8 kg of BOD₅ and with 29.3…112.4 kg of total solids. The average decrease of the main nutrients and extractable substances ranged from 62.8% (Ca²⁺) to 100% (NO^?3). Only the BOD₅ value at the end of the growing season in 1984 (8.4…10.3 mg/l) exceeded three times the standards for the admissible pollution of the receiving stream.     

Normal density earth models

Summary Models of the Earth's density, close to thePREM model, have been derived, they reproduce the external normal gravitational field of the Earth and its dynamic flattening, and are referred to as normal density models. The Earth's surface is approximated by an ellipsoid of the order of the flattening, or of its square. Of the group of normal models sgtisfying the solution of the inverse problem, the normal density modelHME2 is recommended. The spherically symmetric density modelPREM, which was corrected in the course of solving the inverse problem, thus creating the modifiedPREM-E2 model, was used as the a priori information.

Peculiarities of electron precipitation in morning sector of auroral zone during geomagnetic storm

Summary The analysis of electron (E _e >30keV) and proton (E _p >150keV) precipitating fluxes measured on low altitude satellite Intercosmos-17 during the geomagnetic storm December 2, 1977 is presented. Particularly, the gap in electron precipitation on morning side at L=5÷6 is analyzed and discussed in terms of strong cyclotron diffusion.
