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.     

Modelling of neutral-gas releases into the earth's ionosphere

This paper discusses a mathematical model which is aimed at the interpretation of the effects by injections of chemically active gases into the ionosphere. A study is made of neutral-gas expansion processes as well as of processes associated with the formation of decreased plasma density regions, ionospheric holes. The spatial-temporal distribution of particles released during the transition to the diffusion regime is constructed using an approximate, analytic solution of the Boltzmann equation with the collision integral in the form of BGK, with proper allowance for gravitation and atmospheric inhomogeneity. The investigation of processes associated with the formation of ionospheric holes is carried out using a numerical model of ionosphere-plasmasphere coupling, in which the transfer equations for charged components are integrated along geomagnetic field lines. The purpose of the model is to calculate the electron density and temperature, ion composition and emission of a disturbed region in the 6300 Å line at ionospheric and plasmaspheric heights.     

Theory of thermospheric waves and their ionospheric effects

The analytical aspects of the internal thermospheric waves (IW) theory development are reviewed. The statement of the problem is discussed: the choice of the boundary and initial conditions. Special attention is paid to the upper boundary, the existence of which is the direct consequence of the molecular free way growth with height. The model equations for long waves are derived which take into account dissipation, spherity and rotation of the earth. The wave disturbance evolution is represented by the mode dynamical variables with the characteristics for thermospheric waveguide vertical structure. Nonlinearity of general hydrothermodynamic system leads to mode interaction. Therefore the mode coefficient functions satisfy the system of equations that generalizes the system of coupled KdV. As part of the manifestations of nonlinearity, the mean field generation problem by the quasiperiodic IW is discussed. The analytical F2-ionosphere effect model is represented. The model is based on the ambipolar diffusion equation. The calculated results of F2 maximum height variations during magnetospheric substorms are compared with the empiric model data.     

On shear-wave splitting in the Los Angeles basin

Three-component seismograms at the three USC stations, PVP, GFP and DHB, have been examined. Most earthquakes, with magnitudes ranging from 1.4 to 5.0, within a period from 1985 to 1988, show evidence of shear-wave splitting. The preferred polarization of the first split-shear wave arrivals at PVP is nearly in N-S which is consistent with both regional maximum horizontal compressive stress direction and local subsurface fault strike, showing that shear-wave splitting is caused by liquid-filled cracks or fractures associated with the N-S faulting. The polarizations of first shear wave arrivals at GFP are roughly divided into two almost perpendicular directions, ENE-WSW and NNW-SSE, which are parallel or perpendicular to the strike of the geology or topography near the station. Because GFP is near the foothills of Santa Monica Mountains, the shear-wave arrivals may be disturbed by topographic irregularities and by subsurface dipping interfaces. Two examples at DHB clearly display shear-wave splitting. Their polarizations of shear wave are in the direction of N-S, which agree with the fragmentary surface and fracturing direction there. From some relatively reliable delay times, the crack densities at three stations are given, that is, 0.025 at PVP, 0.020 at GFP and 0.045 at DGB. No systematic change of shear-wave polarization is discovered in this study.     

孔隙水压力量测的延迟效应分析

从理论上考虑，用压力传感器量测土中变化的孔隙水压力会存在延迟效应，本文阐明了延迟效应的机理，并以饱和土孔压消散试验为例进行了深入的分析，研究表明，延迟效应的主要影响因素是体积压缩系数和传感器敏感元件的刚度因数，从计算结果看出，除硬粘性土外，延迟效应对孔压量测结果影响甚小。     

Study on S wave splitting in Dayao earthquake sequence with M=6.2 and M=6.1 in Yunnan in 2003

Introduction In seismology, medium isotropy and anisotropy is defined by the direction of seismic wave propagation. If the seismic wave velocity does not vary with the direction, the medium is isotropy, whereas it is anisotropy. Recently, the study of anisotropy in crack medium becomes a focus forseismologists. Crampin (1978) made a deeply research on crustal anisotropy and put forward a theory of extensive dilatancy anisotropy (EDA) that there are a lot of cracks parallel to the hori- zonta…

Ionospheric specification and forecasting based on observations from European ionosondes participating in DIAS project

There are two main objectives of the DIAS (European Digital Upper Atmosphere Server) project. First, it establishes a pan-European repository of raw and derived digital data describing the state of ionospheric part of the upper atmosphere, which is capable of ingesting real-time information and maintaining historical data collections provided by most operating ionospheric stations in Europe. Second, the DIAS system produces and distributes, based on the raw data collection, several operational products required by various user groups for ionospheric nowcasting, prediction and forecasting purposes. The project completed on May 2006 and the DIAS server operates since then continuously. The basic products that are delivered are real-time and historical ionograms from all DIAS-affiliated ionospheric stations, frequency plots and maps of the ionosphere over Europe based on the foF2, M(3000)F2, MUF and electron density parameters, as well as long term prediction and short term forecasting up to 24 hour ahead. The paper describes use of the ionospheric measurements in the DIAS modelling techniques for specification, predict-tion and forecasting of the ionosphere over the European region, and details the final products available to the DIAS user community.     

On the geomagnetic and ionospheric responses to an intense storm associated with weak IMF Bz and high solar wind dynamic pressure

A study of the geomagnetic storm of July 13–14, 1982, and its ionospheric response is presented using the low-latitude magnetic index, Dst, and interpreted using solar wind interplanetary data: proton number density, solar wind flow speed, interplanetary magnetic field southward component B _Z , and solar wind dynamic pressure. The F2 region structure response to the geomagnetic storm was studied using foF2 data obtained during the storm from a network of various ionosonde stations. Our results appear to show simultaneous abrupt depletion of foF2 that occurred at all latitudes in both the East Asian and African/European longitudinal zone during the period: 18:00–19:00 UT on July 13 and is as result of an abrupt increase in the dynamic pressure between 16:00 and 17:00 UT. The dynamic pressure increased from 3.21 to 28.07 nPa within an hour. The aforementioned abrupt depletion of foF2 simultaneously resulted in an intense negative storm with peak depletion of foF2 at about 19:00 at all the stations in the East Asian longitudinal zone. In the African/European longitudinal zone, this simultaneous abrupt depletion of foF2 resulted in intense negative storm that occurred simultaneously at the low latitude stations with peak depletion at about 20:00 UT on July 13, while the resulting negative storm at the mid latitude stations recorded peak depletion of foF2 simultaneously at about 2:00 UT on July 14. The present results indicate that most of the stations in the three longitudinal zones showed some level of simultaneity in the depletion of foF2 between 18:00 UT on July 13 and 2:00 UT on July 14. The depletion of foF2 during the main phase of the storm was especially strongly dependent on the solar wind dynamic pressure.
