Some results of night-time scintillations at low latitude

Ionospheric scintillation observations of VHF radio signals from FLEETSAT satellite (73°E longitude) at Bhopal from January 1990 to December 1990 have been used to study the characteristic variations of scintillation activity. It is found that scintillation occurrence is essentially a night-time phenomenon and day-time scintillations are very rare. Annual average nocturnal variation of percentage occurrence of scintillations shows maximum at around 2100–2200 hours LT. Seasonally, scintillations are most prominent during equinoxes and least during summer. Geomagnetic disturbances tend to decrease the occurrence of scintillations in the pre-midnight period.     

Observations of geomagnetic pulsations and variations with a new borehole magnetometer down to depths of 3000 m

b
A triaxial magnetometer has been developed for investigating the in situ skin effect of horizontal geomagnetic pulsations and variations in deep boreholes. The observations were carried out in the pilot borehole of the Continental Deep Drilling Program of Germany (KTB) down to depths of 3000 m and up to temperature of 90 C. A weak skin effect, due to the known very low conductivity of the penetrated crystalline rocks, of 90 to 95 per cent in amplitude and -5 to -10 rotation in phase has been observed at periods of 10 s and magnetometer depth of 2400 m.
An essential prerequisite for all calculations is the accurate determination of the orientation of the downhole magnetometer. It is demonstrated how oriented record samples of temporal variations at depth correlate precisely with those from the surface.
Results from surface magnetotelluric (MT) investigations show strong local distortions of the telluric field. The distortion of the MT tensor response has been determined by means of newly introduced skin-effect transfer functions, which are assumed to be undistorted.     

ESR assessment of kerogen maturation and its relation with petroleum genesis

Petroleum hydrocarbons are formed by breakdown of kerogen preserved in source rocks throughout the process of catagenesis. This process is accompanied by free radical generation in kerogen. The availability of measuring free radicals in kerogen using ESR to deduce a maturation estimation of potential source rocks has been hindered due to the presence of the solvent-extractable organic molecules (SEOM) trapped within the kerogen matrix. Spin concentration (Ns) of the kerogen treated with pyridine (K_Py) represents the paramagnetic centers of the kerogen matrix itself and provides a potential parameter to evaluate kerogen maturation.     

大震前地磁场时空间线性度变化的初步研究

把用来分析地震波波形的时间线性度和空间线性度两种方法，应用到地磁资料分析当中，具体分析处理了１９７６年７月２８日唐山Ｍｓ７．８地震和１９８９年１０月１９日大同Ｍｓ６．１地震前后地磁场资料，并对这两次地震前后地磁时空线性度变化情况进行了研究。所得结果表明：①较大地震前地磁场的时空线性度均可能呈现出较明显的下降异常变化，有些在震前回升，②各分量的时空线性度呈现异常的时间基本上同步，并与波速异常发展趋势基本相符。     

用第六代国际地磁参考场确定的东亚地磁非偶极场时空变化规律

利用近期公布的第六代国际地磁参考场（ＩＧＲＦ）计算，分析了１９４５年以来东亚地磁非偶极场的时空变化特征，并用中国地磁场模型对结果进行了检验，得到的主要结果是：１９４５－１９９０年，东亚地磁非偶极场Ｘ、Ｙ分量缓慢向北和向西方向移动，东亚磁异常中心位置基本稳定，中心附近Ｚ分量的强度变化具有明显的大约１５年左右的增强和减弱期。中心附近Ｘ、Ｙ的零值点的移动方向与地磁北极的移动方向一致。     

第四纪时期地壳块体相对运动的古地磁记录的初步研究─-以陇西和鄂尔多斯块体相对运动为例

为了探讨用古地磁方法确定第四纪时期地壳块体相对运动状况，选择了分别处于陇西块体和鄂尔多斯块体内的兰州九州台和陕西洛川两个黄土剖面作为实验对象。在这两个黄土剖面的４个相同年代的层位采集定向大样，作黄土沉积剩余磁化矢量测量，并用虚磁极法拟合，初步结果表明，约１１０万ａ来陇西块体相对于鄂尔多斯块体作顺时针旋转，其转动量达９．０±４．７°

地磁偏角实时自动修正技术在油田定向钻井中的应用

在油田定向钻井的磁导向定位系统中，地磁偏角校正是一个不可缺少的基本要素，同时在磁偏角校正值精度直接影响定向井的导向定位精度。因此，作者提出了提高地磁偏角校正值精度的方法，并试图将地磁偏角实时自动修正技术引入我国油田定向钻井领域。
