Some measurements of the extinction coefficients of solar radiation in Lagos

Solar radiance measurements covering over seventeen months are analysed for a location beside the Lagos Lagoon. The aerosol extinction coefficient was generally higher in the dusty months than in the wet months. Clean air estimates of the coefficient are made. Data on its wavelength dependence are also presented.     

Approximation of the infra-red radiation flux in an atmosphere with cloud

Summary A three-stream infra-red radiation scheme for use particularly in boundary layer models is described. Local uniformity of the atmosphere (i.e. a generalization of the cooling to space approximation in clear air) is assumed, and the radiation equation is solved by simple collocation rather than by the full discrete ordinate method. In clear air the scheme corresponds to the usual approximation, which incorporates the Elsasser factor in the transmission function to account for diffuse radiation. The band models of Goody for water vapour and Elsasser for carbon dioxide are used for the band averaging of the transmission functions. Consistent with this, the band averaging of the radiation flux in cloud is undertaken by replacing the rapidly varying absorption coefficients for the gases by the actual band-averaged values of those coefficients. The band averaging is precise in the limits of strong and weak gaseous absorption.     

外辐射带区域新建地磁场经验模型的定量研究

准确的磁场模型对于辐射带粒子环境研究至关重要.本文利用美国Van Allen Probes（VAP）在2012至2018年期间测量的磁场数据和GOES15在2011至2017年期间测量的磁场数据,定量地评估了三个较新的外磁场经验模型（TS05、TA15和TA16）对外辐射带区域（3~6.6R_E）磁场的描述性能.本文选择预测效率（Prediction Efficiency,PE）作为评估指标,定量分析各模型在不同空间范围（Lm值）、不同地磁活动水平（Kp）以及不同磁地方时（MLT）下的性能表现,并且计算了观测磁场与模型磁场的夹角θ,以评估模型的磁场方向预测能力.结果表明：PE随Lm值增大,随地磁扰动增强而下降;θ随Lm值增大,随地磁扰动增强而增大.在Lm=5~6.5R_E范围内,PE呈现晨昏不对称性,MLT=12-21时的PE值小于MLT=0-9时的值,说明三个磁场模型可以较好地描述晨侧磁场的强度,但它们并不能很好地反映下午至昏侧磁场的大小;在地球同步轨道附近（Lm~6.6R_E）,PE呈现昼夜不对称性,MLT=9-15时的PE值大于其他时区的值,说明三个磁场模型可以很好地反映昼侧磁场大小,但在夜侧可能存在较大的误差.θ在MLT=6-12时的值小于其他时区的值,呈现昼夜不对称性,说明三个磁场模型可以较好地描述昼侧磁力线的分布位型,但在夜侧存在较大的方向描述误差.在外辐射带3~6.5R_E内,TA16模型与VAP磁场观测数据最为接近,PE均大于0.7,θ均小于3°;在地球同步轨道高度（6.6R_E）,TS05模型与GOES15卫星磁场观测数据最为接近,PE约为0.75,θ约为7°.相关的研究结果可以为我国星载高能粒子探测器探测数据的在轨交叉定标、辐射带高能粒子动态模型研究和相关的磁层环境理论/应用研究提供地磁场模型选择方面的参考.     

UV-B增强对冬小麦和菠菜影响的对比试验

通过大田试验对比研究了紫外辐射UV—B增强对冬小麦和圆叶菠菜株高、叶面积指数、干物质累积量的影响以及叶绿素和类黄酮含量的变化。结果表明：紫外辐射UV—B增强对冬小麦和圆叶菠菜株高、叶面积指数、干物质累积有着明显的抑制作用,同时还使叶绿素含量下降,类黄酮含量增加。对比试验也表明,UV—B辐射对小麦株高、叶面积、干物质积累以及叶绿素和类黄酮含量的影响小于对菠菜的影响。     

电磁辐射"EMOLS"仪观测结果原理及震例

“九五”期间研制的“EMAOS”电磁辐射仪,其接收原理是按大地电磁测深的原理改进而研制的。选择接收频段为0．01～10Hz,该频段探测深度在0～20km,是浅源地震发生的层位。记录的电磁扰动是在应力场作用下,动电效应产生的电磁场。电场和磁场同时记录增强了信息可信度的判断能力,记录震例表明,异常规律与已有模拟结果基本相同。因此,已总结的模拟记录预报指标等可在数字记录结果中使用。     

A New Catalogue of Fine Structures Superimposed on Solar Microwave Bursts

The 2.6-3.8 GHz, 4.5-7.5 GHz, 5.2-7.6 GHz and 0.7-1.5 GHz component spectrometers of Solar Broadband Radio Spectrometer (SBRS) started routine observations, respectively, in late August 1996, August 1999, August 1999, and June 2000. They just managed to catch the coming 23rd solar active maximum. Consequently, a large amount of microwave burst data with high temporal and high spectral resolution and high sensitivity were obtained. A variety of fine structures (FS) superimposed on microwave bursts have been found. Some of them are known, such as microwave type Ⅲ bursts, microwave spike emission, but these were observed with more detail; some are new. Reported for the first time here are microwave type U bursts with similar spectral morphology to those in decimetric and metric wavelengths, and with outstanding characteristics such as very short durations (tens to hundreds ms), narrow bandwidths, higher frequency drift rates and higher degrees of polarization. Type N and type M bursts were also observed. Detailed zebra pattern and fiber bursts at the high frequency were found. Drifting pulsation structure (DPS) phenomena closely associated with CME are considered to manifest the initial phase of the CME, and quasi-periodic pulsation with periods of tens ms have been recorded. Microwave “patches”, unlike those reported previously, were observed with very short durations (about 300ms), very high flux densities (up to 1000 sfu), very high polarization (about 100% RCP), extremely narrow bandwidths (about 5%), and very high spectral indexes. These cannot be interpreted with the gyrosynchrotron process. A superfine structure in the form of microwave FS (ZPS,type U), consisting of microwave millisecond spike emission (MMS), was also found.     

Cylindrical Jet—Wind interaction Model of Gamma—Ray Burst Afterglows

Observations on relativistic jets in radio galaxies, active galactic nuclei, and "microquasars" revealed that many of these outflows are cylindrical, not conical. So it is worthwhile to investigate the evolution of cylindrical jets in gamma-ray bursts. We discuss afterglows from cylindrical jets in a wind environment. Numerical results as well as analytic solutions in some special cases are presented. Our light curves are steeper compared to those in the homogeneous interstellar medium case, carefully considered by Cheng, Huang & Lu. We conclude that some afterglows, used to be interpreted as isotropic fireballs in a wind environment, can be fitted as well by cylindrical jets interacting with a wind.     

短基线时间差闪电辐射源探测系统和初步定位结果

介绍了一种新型的闪电探测设备———短基线时间差法辐射源定位系统,并选取2002年夏季野外观测实验中的辐射源定位结果,结合电场变化特征分别对两次地闪和云闪进行了分析。结果表明,该系统对地闪先导过程和云闪产生的辐射源能够较好地定位。定位结果的个例分析证实,观测地区的两次云闪放电过程都由起始于云下部负电荷区的负极性击穿引发,然后向上发展到上部正电荷区,通道的发展速度约为1.29×105m·s-1,地闪梯级先导的传播速度约为1.73×105m·s-1。
