A sub-surface eddy at inertial current layer in the Canada Basin,Arctic Ocean

An Arctic Ocean eddy in sub-surface layer is analyzed in this paper by use of temperature,salinity and current profiles data obtained at an ice camp in the Canada Basin during the second Chinese Arctic Expedition in summer of 2003.In the vertical temperature section,the eddy shows itself as an isolated cold water block at depth of 60 m with a minimum temperature of-1.5℃,about 0.5℃ colder than the ambient water.Isopycnals in the eddy form a pattern of convex,which indicates the eddy is anticyclonic.Although maximum velocity near 0.4 m s-1 occurs in the current records observed synchronously,the current pattern is far away from a typical eddy.By further analysis,inertial frequency oscillations with amplitudes comparable with the eddy velocity are found in the sub-surface layer currents.After filter the inertial current and mean current,an axisymmetric current pattern of an eddy with maximum velocity radius of 5 km is obtained.The analysis of the T-S characteristics of the eddy core water and its ambient waters supports the conclusion that the eddy was formed on the Chukchi Shelf and migrated northeastward into the northern Canada Basin.     

Fine-resolution simulation of surface current and sea ice in the Arctic Mediterranean Seas

A fine-resolution model is developed for ocean circulation simulation in the National Key Laboratory of Numerical Modeling for Atmospheric Sciences and Geophysical Fluid Dynamics (LASG), Chinese Academy of Sciences, and is applied to simulate surface current and sea ice variations in the Arctic Mediterranean Seas. A dynamic sea ice model in elastic-viscous-plastic rheology and a thermodynamic sea ice model are employed. A 200-year simulation is performed and a dimatological average of a 10-year period (141st-150th) is presented with focus on sea ice concentration and surface current variations in the Arctic Mediterranean Seas. The model is able to simulate well the East Greenland Current, Beaufort Gyre and the Transpolar Drift, but the simulated West Spitsbergen Current is small and weak. In the March climatology, the sea ice coverage can be simulated well except for a bit more ice in east of Spitsbergen Island. The result is also good for the September scenario except for less ice concentration east of Greenland and greater ice concentration near the ice margin. The extra ice east of Spitsbergen Island is caused by sea ice current convergence forced by atmospheric wind stress.

An Efficient High-Resolution Shock-Capturing Scheme for Multi-Dimensional Flows I. Hydrodynamics

Many problems at the forefront of theoretical astrophysics require a treatment of dynamical fluid behavior. We present an efficient high-resolution shock-capturing hydrody-namic scheme designed to study such phenomena. We have implemented a weighted, essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) scheme to fifth order accuracy in space. HLLE approximate Riemann solver is used for the flux computation at cell interface, which does not require spectral decomposition into characteristic waves and so is computationally friendly. For time integration we apply a third order total variation diminishing (TVD) Runge-Kutta scheme. Extensive testing and comparison with schemes that require characteristic decomposition are carried out demonstrating the ability of our scheme to address challenging open questions in astrophysics.     

在重力分层的太阳大气中磁流浮现的数值解

为了解释太阳观测中磁流浮现形成活动区的主要特征——AFS弧顶的上升运动和弧脚的下沉运动,谱斑,Ellerman炸弹等,我们采用了MHD-Lagrangian数值模拟法计算了重力分层(压力密度指数递减),太阳大气中同基底磁场反向和同向的磁偶极子从光球下浮出时产生的动力学演化过程.计算证明:反向的偶极子会导致流体产生会聚和下降运动,为了能让反向偶极子浮出必须适当增压,演化的结果形成电流片,因而有可能引起如Ellerman炸弹等小型爆发现象.还证明了:在浮现处一定产生加热增温,即导致谱斑发亮现象.在弧顶气体是上升运动,速度小;弧脚处气体作下降运动,速度较大,这主要是重力分层气体压力密度非均匀引起的,和Brunt-Vaisala振动有同一的起因.我们还模拟了通常活动区形成时的初期现象:1500高斯强磁偶极子浮进100高斯的弱光球色球基底场时产生的动力学现象.计算表明:为了不致产生激波必须减压浮出,即类似于黑子降温式的浮现,浮现时间应是小时的量级,浮现后确实在色球里导致强的电流片,当这电流片升至低日冕后,会成为Heyvaerts,Priest等人期望的耀斑发生源,因而浮现过程有可能是耀斑储能和触发机理之一.另外我们利用计算结果试解释了北京天文台怀柔站的磁流浮现资料,即文[1]和文[2]的一些分析结果。     

连接太阳和地球的磁脉

太阳是距我们最近的一颗恒星。除了可见光以外。长期以来,科学家们相信,在地球和太阳之间还一定有着某种联系。观测发现,太阳每时每刻往外喷射着高速带电微粒流——也称为等离子体流,人们已习惯地称其为“太阳风”。它有时伴随着日冕物质抛射十分强劲。产生名副其实的“太阳风暴”。当太阳风暴袭击地球时,幸亏有地球磁层作为天然防线,人们才得以安然无恙。
