1987年9月23日日环食引起的电离层扰动

本文利用武汉电离层观象台的高频多普勒台阵、TEC台阵和加密频高图等多种观测资料,分析了1987年9月23日发生在我国境内的日环食的电离层效应,简要地讨论了光食过程的电离层变化,着重研究了食后电离层扰动以及这种效应的高度演变和传播特征.结果表明:1.在不同高度上电离层的光化过程的弛豫时间不同,光食效应有明显的高度差异;2.食后出现了电离层行扰,这种扰动的特性随高度变化十分复杂,但不同高度上扰动的水平传播方向都指向日食中心带.这种扰动的激发源不在环食中心带内,它的激发可能与日食时大范围的大气冷却收缩所引起的低层大气运动的不稳定性有关.

文章回顾了不同地质背景条件下的浅表河谷扰动。从广义上讲,“弓形坡和河谷外鼓”这个专用词在不列颠广泛用于描述浅表河谷扰动。在Ｒｕｔｌａｎｄ,Ｅｍｐｉｎｇｈａｍ存在一个绝好的实例,具备真实的弓形坡和河谷外鼓。相对薄的冠岩覆盖在相对厚的上里阿斯统粘土之上,向下直到拉脱面,这样一个组合,允许弓形坡和河谷外鼓特征得到最充分发育。它们特征包括（１）下面粘土层明显变薄,系粘土进入河谷外鼓位置结果;（２）覆盖在上面的冠岩同步弯曲,产生一个向河谷的弓形坡（Ｃ）,一个河谷边缘向斜（Ｙ）和一个对照外鼓侧翼的上拱（Ｕ）。     

近40年长株潭生态景观的人为干扰过程分析

以长株潭主城区为研究对象,综合考虑卫星遥感数据、土地利用数据以及地理国情普查数据特点建立长株潭用地类型分类系统,应用土地利用转移矩阵和景观人为干扰测度模型获取主城区用地转移矩阵和人为干扰度指数时空分布,探讨长株潭主城区生态景观与人为干扰之间的关系。结果表明:从土地利用变化角度,1978—2015年长株潭主城区耕地、园林地、建设用地发生了显著变化,耕地总体上呈持续下降趋势,从3 544.67 km~2下降到2 571.18 km~2,园林地呈现先下降后升高的变化趋势,总体下降177.89 km~2;建设用地呈持续上升趋势,从80.56 km~2增加到1 252.85 km~2;在1994—2000年和2010—2015年长株潭主城区土地利用变化两个典型阶段,建设用地的增加主要通过占用耕地和园林地的方式实现。景观人为干扰指数时空分析表明:1978—2015年长株潭主城区景观人为干扰指数高值区主要集中在中心城市和其周边地区,在人类活动的影响下,中心城区以耕地、园林地向建设用地转移为主,周边地区主要以耕地和园林地的相互转移为主;随着城市化进程持续加快,人类活动对主城区生态景观的影响总体呈加强趋势,且受人类活动干扰主要集中在中心城区。     

Statistical Analysis of the Relationships among Coronal Holes,Corotating Interaction Regions,and Geomagnetic Storms

We have examined the relationships among coronal holes (CHs), corotating interaction regions (CIRs), and geomagnetic storms in the period 1996?–?2003. We have identified 123 CIRs with forward and reverse shock or wave features in ACE and Wind data and have linked them to coronal holes shown in National Solar Observatory/Kitt Peak (NSO/KP) daily He i 10?830 Å maps considering the Sun?–?Earth transit time of the solar wind with the observed wind speed. A sample of 107 CH?–?CIR pairs is thus identified. We have examined the magnetic polarity, location, and area of the CHs as well as their association with geomagnetic storms (Dst≤?50 nT). For all pairs, the magnetic polarity of the CHs is found to be consistent with the sunward (or earthward) direction of the interplanetary magnetic fields (IMFs), which confirms the linkage between the CHs and the CIRs in the sample. Our statistical analysis shows that (1) the mean longitude of the center of CHs is about 8°E, (2) 74% of the CHs are located between 30°S and 30°N (i.e., mostly in the equatorial regions), (3) 46% of the CIRs are associated with geomagnetic storms, (4) the area of geoeffective coronal holes is found to be larger than 0.12% of the solar hemisphere area, and (5) the maximum convective electric field E _y in the solar wind is much more highly correlated with the Dst index than any other solar or interplanetary parameter. In addition, we found that there is also a semiannual variation of CIR-associated geomagnetic storms and discovered new tendencies as follows: For negative-polarity coronal holes, the percentage (59%; 16 out of 27 events) of CIRs associated with geomagnetic storms in the first half of the year is much larger than that (25%; 6 out of 24 events) in the second half of the year and the occurrence percentage (63%; 15 out of 24 events) of CIR-associated storms in the southern hemisphere is significantly larger than that (26%; 7 out of 27 events) in the northern hemisphere. Positive-polarity coronal holes exhibit an opposite tendency.     

Mid-latitude winds in the mesosphere: a superposed epoch analysis over the geomagnetic storm times

This study aims at looking for the characteristic patterns of mesospheric wind over the geomagnetic storm times. For this purpose, the geomagnetic storms preceded by a sudden commencement (SSC) have been selected from January 1995 to April 1999. By using the onset of SSC as the timing mark, a superposed epoch analysis has been performed on the available neutral wind data measured with medium frequency (MF) radars at Yamagawa (31.2°N, 130.6°E) and Wakkanai (45.4°N, 141.7°E). In doing so, the length of time chosen for the superposed analysis is from 7 days before the SSC onset to 21 days after the onset; subsets of wind data are superimposed for summer and winter months, respectively. Then with harmonic analysis on the superposed winds the mean winds in both summer and winter months have been obtained. Concerning mean wind characteristics, some interesting details are the reversal heights of the summer zonal winds, which is 79–80 km at Yamagawa and 84 km at Wakkanai. Strong wavy structures with 2–4 days period are observed at both Yamagawa and Wakkanai in both summer and winter. As for storm effects, significant enhancement of eastward wind is found 5 days after SSC onset at both Yamagawa and Wakkanai in winter. Moreover, the northward wind turns southward at Wakkanai 2 days after the onset of SSC, and the southward wind lasts for several days thereafter. In summer months, the post-storm enhancement tends to be small and mainly in the eastward wind at both Yamagawa and Wakkanai.     

Eigendecomposition of TDR waveforms: a novel method to determine water content and pore fluid concentration of sandy soils

In this study, an incident pulse signal of several harmonics (i.e., multiples of the fundamental frequency) was used as a source in the time domain reflectometry (TDR) probing technique. Reflected signals were captured by an oscilloscope and their characteristics were determined via eigendecomposition. Autoregressive modeling and singular value decomposition were used to calculate the eigenvalues and the most significant ones were identified based on power spectrum. A multivariate statistical analysis was performed for the two most dominant eigenvalues, which are dependent on water content and salt concentrations, and regression equations were obtained. To determine the water content and salt concentrations in terms of the first and second eigenvalues, a modified Powell hybrid algorithm was used to solve the obtained system of nonlinear equations. Actual and predicted results are in agreement indicating that the developed method is very successful in predicting water content and salt concentrations. Furthermore, on comparing the eigendecomposition method with Fourier spectral analysis, one can observe that the former is superior in predicting water content and salt concentrations.     

AGEOSTROPHIC THEORY OF ZONAL FLOW ACCELERATION AND WAVE-ACTIVITY CONSERVATION LAW

Motivated by ageostrophic interactions of wave and basic flow,the generalized relationships between 3-dimensional Eliassen-Palm flux and basic flows,which are suitable for small-amplitude and finite-amplitude disturbances,are derived.The local area-averaged and density-weighted mean flows are chosen as the basic flows.Under the assumption that the steady basic flows vary slowly in time and space,a quasi-conservative law of small amplitude wave activity is derived from Ertel's potential vorticity equation in isentropic coordinates. The expressions of the new 3-D Eliassen-Palm flux and wave activity are presented in terms of Eulerian quantities so that they can be readily calculated by using observation data or model output data.
