Physics in Next Geoneutrino Detectors

The KamLAND liquid scintillator detector demonstrated the detection of antineutrinos produced by natural radioactivities in the Earth, so-called geoneutrinos. Although this first result of geoneutrinos is consistent with current geophysical models, more accurate measurements are essential to provide a new window for exploring the inside of the Earth. In this article I would like to discuss the future prospects of KamLAND geoneutrino detection, and the possibility of directional measurement of incoming geoneutrinos. It is interesting to consider the application of geoneutrino detectors to measurements of other neutrino signals. The possibility of detecting the solar 7Be, pep and CNO neutrinos is discussed. A new type detector concept is proposed not only to explore the precise measurement of reactor neutrino oscillations but also to enable us to realize the neutrino tomography inside the Earth.     

Extreme vacuum ultraviolet solar spectra obtained during the SPIRIT experiment aboard CORONAS-F: A catalog of lines in the range 280–330 Å

We present a catalog of 100 lines in the wavelength range 280–330 Å detected by the RES-C spectroheliograph in solar active regions and flares during the SPIRIT experiment aboard the CORONAS-F orbital station. We identified 54 lines. The line intensities recorded during the X3.4 (GOES) solar flare of December 28, 2001, are given. The data reduction procedure is discussed.     

Strategy for Applying Neutrino Geophysics to the Earth Sciences Including Planetary Habitability

Antineutrino data constrain the concentrations of the heat producing elements U and Th as well as potentially the concentration of K. Interpretation is similar to but not homologous with gravity. Current geoneutrino physics efficiently asks simple questions taking advantage of what is already known about the Earth. A few measurements with some sites in the ocean basins will constrain the concentration of U and Th in the crust and mantle and whether the mantle is laterally heterogeneous. These results will allow Earth science arguments about the formation, chemistry, and dynamics of the Earth to be turned around and appraised. In particular, they will tell whether the Earth accreted its expected share of these elements from the solar nebula and how long radioactive heat will sustain active geological processes on the Earth. Both aspects are essential to evaluating the Earth as a common or rare habitable planet.     

Influence of coronal mass ejection on geomagnetic activity during 1988–1993

The most rapid and dramatic evolution in the solar corona occurs in events now known as Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs). There have considerable importance for our understanding of the evolution of the mass and energy injected into the interplanetary medium. In this work, we have studied the relation of CMEs with geomagnetic activity for the period of 1988 to 1993. Not all CMEs are capable of producing geomagnetic disturbances. Our study indicates that the maximum chance of a geomagnetic disturbance occurs two to three days after a CME in association with B-type solar flares.     

冕洞与太阳活动周及地磁活动的演化关系

本文用1970－1995年的冕洞资料，分析了冕洞的分布规律，磁场极性的演化特征和冕洞的地磁效应，以及它们与太阳黑子周期的演化关系，得到了一些有意义的结论。特别指出赤道冕洞和极区冕洞具有相反的演化规律和不同的特征。     

磁场重联和日冕物质抛射

Basic processes of magnetic reconnection and observations of coronal mass ejection are introduced. A possible mechanism of CME caused by magnetic rcconnection in the current sheet of solar corona is suggested.     

Sub-Alfvénic flows in the quiet and recurrent solar winds

Observed instances are given in this paper to show that sub-Alfvénic flow can be formed in the quiet and recurrent low-speed solar wind streams. This kind of flow appears in regions with abnormal enhancement of Alfvénic speed and is associated with a specific type of magnetic configuration.     

全日面磁场观测资料的初步处理

用口径为１０ｃｍ的全日面磁场望远镜，我们获得了光球的全日面视向磁场观测资料。与３５ｃｍ磁场望远镜的观测结果比对，发现日面上各活动区磁场的形态以及强度都吻合较好，说明全日面磁场望远镜得到的观测资料是可信的。     

The characteristics of motion of thin magnetic tubes

Starting from the equations of motion of a thin magnetic tube, the characteristic curves and velocities and compatibility relations are derived as basis for investigating its motion and for correctly formulating the problem of stationary solution. It is shown that the characteristic velocity of transverse waves is related to the Alfvén Mach number of the flow in the tube. When the flow velocity exceeds the critical value for the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, transverse waves cease to exist.     

“一带一路”区域可持续发展生态环境遥感监测

2013年9月和10月,习近平主席在出访中亚和东南亚国家期间,先后提出了共建"丝绸之路经济带"和"21世纪海上丝绸之路"(简称"一带一路")的重大倡议。要全面保护"一带一路"区域生态环境,实现2030年可持续发展目标,是一个具有挑战性的问题。遥感技术对生态环境监测与评价发挥着十分重要的作用。本研究利用多尺度、多源遥感数据,对2015年"一带一路"区域的生态环境状况进行监测和分析,旨在提供可持续发展目标生态环境遥感监测的本底。本文选取了几个重要的生态环境方面开展监测与分析,主要包括宏观生态系统结构和植被状况、太阳能资源分布、水资源平衡、主要生态环境限制因素对经济走廊建设的影响、主要城市生态环境质量等。监测区域覆盖亚洲、非洲、欧洲和大洋洲的陆上区域。研究结果为生态环境评价与保护提供了有效的决策依据,有助于"一带一路"建设积极推进。
