新沂台和马陵山台地电场日变化及潮汐响应初步分析

基于江苏省新沂台和山东省马陵山台同(近)场地观测的地磁场、地电场和分量应变观测数据,详细分析了两台站地电场日变化的波形、变幅、相位和优势周期成分以及日变幅的季节效应和台址电性条件对其的影响,并在此基础上分析了地电场日变化的机理.结果显示:① 两台站地电场日变化主要为两次起伏变化,主相起伏集中在当地午前午后时段,且起伏波形与磁场日变化的起伏波形大致相同,存在相位差,但主相起伏时段与磁场对时间的偏导曲线上的日变化起伏时段大致对应;地电场变化与磁场正交分量的变化显著相关,且与同方向的分量应变显著相关;地电场日变化波形与分量应变日变波形有很大差异;② 两台站地电场、地磁场日变化的优势周期为12 h,8 h,24 h,最显著周期为12 h,其中12 h和24 h周期成分是应变分量的优势周期;③ 两台站同方向地电场日变化的波形高度相似,但同台正交分量之间的日变幅有方向性差异;朔望月时段的日变幅大于上下弦月时段,日变幅有夏季大于冬季的季节效应;台址电导率越低,日变幅越大.地电场日变化既表现为广域性特征,又表现为局部性特征.地电场日变化机理分析认为,地电场日变化是由月日潮汐力和太阳风引起的电离层活动所导致,同时还受到季节、台址电性条件等多因素的影响.      

中强地震前后地电场观测数据变化研究

地电场观测对象为天然地电场,包括源自外空的大地电场和源自地下的自然电场两个部分.我国最早开展模拟地电场观测在1966年邢台地震之后.数字化地电场观测始于"九五"以后,目前已经建成了由110个台站组成的覆盖各主要地震危险区和重点监视区的地电场观测台网.地电场台网记录到了大地电场日变化和地电暴等周期性或同步背景变化.     

兴济地震台大地电场方位变化特征

根据地电场成分分类取空间电磁环境较为平静且地电场观测数据日变形态较为稳定的时段对兴济台大地电场E_T进行提取,然后利用正交向两测道大地电场合成总的大地电场E_T总。对总大地电场方位变化进行对比发现,兴济台午前午后大地电场方位角图像较平凉、大柏舍数据离散度高,无午前午后3个阶段的稳定形态变化特征;通过谐波分析及F检验发现,兴济台大地电场前10阶谐波拟合程度相对较低、高阶谐波成分显著,说明兴济台地电场成分复杂,可能是造成一天中大地电场方位角数据离散的原因。     

中国大陆地电场日变化特征及影响因素

作为地电场最重要的背景变化组成成分之一,地电场日变化普遍存在。本文选取中国大陆10个地电场台站观测数据,应用时序迭加和谐波分析方法,研究地电场日变化的时间域和空间域基本特征。地电场日变化大多呈现"两峰一谷"或"两谷一峰"的变化特征,日变化特征一年四季基本相同,但是幅度、相位略有差异。此外,利用地磁、地貌、电性结构等资料,对地电场日变化的复杂性及与空间电磁活动、地下电性结构及潮汐相关性进行分析,认为地电场日变化特征本质是受空间电磁活动和地下介质电性结构、水文、地质等因素共同作用的结果。     

甘肃嘉峪关、瓜州地电场日变化与地电暴差异机理分析

通过甘肃省嘉峪关台地磁场观测资料,研究嘉峪关台、瓜州台磁静日地电场日变化的时频特征波;由地电场分钟值观测数据的时序叠加残差方法,研究嘉峪关、瓜州山的地电暴变化。结果表明:(1)两台地电场静日变化以两次起伏变化为主,无相位差,但两台之间日变幅差异较大;(2)地电场分量变化与地磁场正交分量变化显著相关;地电场与地磁场日变波形不同,极值时间有差异。2个台存在很明显的高频成分,在去除了高频变化后,其优势周期也相同,从大到小依次为12 h、8 h、24 h。地磁场H分量因存在磁暴影响,故高频变化较多,在去除了磁暴影响后,其优势周期从大到小依次为24 h、12 h、8 h;(3)当电磁暴扰动剧烈时,两台可以较清晰地记录到地电暴的完整变化。在发生电磁暴时,地电场与地磁场的相关性明显降低,且不同台、不同测向之间的变化幅度也不尽相同。两台东分量E_Y暴日的日变幅较静日明显增大,磁暴期间Y分量变化率与地电场东分量E_Y观测数据显著相关,由此说明:两台日变幅的不同与台站台址电导率有关,太阳风引起的电离层活动是引起了地电场日变化主因。引起电暴的原因可能不同于引起日变化的原因,主要是两台之间及不同测向之间的浅、深层电阻率和地质构造等诸多因素的结果。     

基于地电场的裂隙水主体渗流方向两种计算方法及意义

地电场是重要的地震前兆物理场,其观测数据包含了自然电场、大地电场和干扰成分.自然电场源于地下介质的物理、化学过程,通常具有相对稳定性;大地电场则来源于空间电流和潮汐力,较稳定的日变形态主要表现出TGF-A、TGF-B两种波形.依据地电场的潮汐机理,邻近大水域的场地,潮汐力作用于岩石裂隙,易使裂隙水周期性渗流,产生周期性过滤电场,形成TGF-A波形地电场;空间Sq电流在地表的感应电场易引起裂隙水周期性渗流,进而产生大地电流场,使地表出现TGF-B波形地电场.以层状介质为例,设上层介质电阻率为p1,厚度为h1;水渗流层的电阻率为ρ2,厚度为h2;下层是不导电介质.     

数值模拟日侧磁场重联对极盖等离子体云块形成的影响

极盖等离子体云块是极区空间天气重要现象之一,其形成过程是当前重要研究课题.观测表明,日侧磁场重联对应的极区电离层高速流可能对舌状等离子体(TOI)形成"切割"作用,最终形成极盖等离子体云块.伴随磁场重联,同时存在极光粒子沉降,会引起F层等离子体密度的增大,阻碍"切割"效应.本文利用耦合极区电离层模型,模拟研究电场和软电子沉降共同作用下F层等离子体密度的演化.结果表明,在局部电离层电场大于一定数值(80 mV)的情况下,"切割"效应能有效发生.并详细分析了"切割"效应发生时等离子体各参量的演化过程,对"切割"效应的内在物理过程进行了探讨.     

中国大陆经纬链地电场日变化

本文应用中国大陆两条经度链和两条纬度链上共37个地电场台站的观测数据,研究了地电场日变化的时/频域特征,结果认为,绝大多数台站的日变化表现为两次起伏的半日波,紧临午前午后出现;按FFT振幅谱由大到小,其主要周期成分依次为12.4/12、8、24 h等,与潮汐调和分量周期一致;纬度效应主要表现为沿经度链的日变化幅度与纬度高/低有关,日变化相位差与当地时差吻合;Loyd季节的J季节日变化幅度最大、E季节其次、D季节最小.讨论了产生日变化主要周期成分的可能原因,认为月日引潮力引起的地面涡旋电流强度变化和太阳风引起的空间电磁活动共同产生了地电日变化的半日波周期成分.     

电离层等离子体漂移的振荡

根据中纬Ｗａｋｋａｎａｉ站与低纬Ｏｋｉｎａｗａ站的垂测数据，得出电离层峰区垂直漂移的频谱结构．结果表明，漂移除具有周期在２４ｈ之内的潮汐分量外，低纬站还呈现出值得特别注意的２．１ｄ的周期振荡．作者认为，低纬垂直漂移的振荡行为，主要是电场的波动分量引起；这种波动电场包含潮汐振荡与行星波两日振荡的成分．峰值电子浓度的振荡最直接地是由中性大气温度控制；而峰高的波动起伏，则主要是电场振荡的结果．     

Planetary wave coupling (5–6-day waves) in the low-latitude atmosphere–ionosphere system

Vertical coupling in the low-latitude atmosphere–ionosphere system driven by the 5-day Rossby W1 and 6-day Kelvin E1 waves in the low-latitude MLT region has been investigated. Three different types of data were analysed in order to detect and extract the ∼6-day wave signals. The National Centres for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) geopotential height and zonal wind data at two pressure levels, 30 and 10 hPa, were used to explore the features of the ∼6-day waves present in the stratosphere during the period from 1 July to 31 December 2004. The ∼6-day wave activity was identified in the neutral MLT winds by radar measurements located at four equatorial and three tropical stations. The ∼6-day variations in the ionospheric electric currents (registered by perturbations in the geomagnetic field) were detected in the data from 26 magnetometer stations situated at low latitudes. The analysis shows that the global ∼6-day Kelvin E1 and ∼6-day Rossby W1 waves observed in the low-latitude MLT region are most probably vertically propagating from the stratosphere. The global ∼6-day W1 and E1 waves seen in the ionospheric electric currents are caused by the simultaneous ∼6-day wave activity in the MLT region. The main forcing agent in the equatorial MLT region seems to be the waves themselves, whereas in the tropical MLT region the modulated tides are also of importance.     

电场产生的赤道扩展F的时空演变

利用计算机模拟研究了非均匀电场产生的赤道扩展Ｆ的时空演变。非均匀电场能在赤道电离层Ｆ区底部触发Ｒａｙｌｅｉｇｈ－Ｔａｙｌｏｒ不稳定性，导致等离子体泡形态。计算中非均匀电场的幅度取为０．２５－１．００ｍＶ／ｍ，所产生的等离子体泡在２０００ｓ以内就能穿过Ｆ峰达到５４０ｋｍ的高度。所得结果阐明了非均匀电场在赤道扩展Ｆ中的作用，指出了产生等离子体泡一种可能的扰动源。由于Ｅ区和Ｆ区电场是相互影响的，从而揭示了Ｅ区和Ｆ区扰动的相互联系。     

First in situ measurement of electric field fluctuations during strong spread F in the Indian zone

An RH-560 rocket flight was conducted from Sriharikota rocket range (SHAR) (14°N, 80°E, dip 14°N) along with other experiments, as a part of equatorial spread F (ESF) campaign, to study the nature of irregularities in electric field and electron density. The rocket was launched at 2130 local time (LT) and it attained an apogee of 348 km. Results of vertical and horizontal electric field fluctuations are presented here. Scale sizes of electric field fluctuations were measured in the vertical direction only. Strong ESF irregularities were observed in three regions, viz., 160/190 km, 210/257 km and 290/330 km. Some of the valley region vertical electric field irregularities (at 165 km and 168 km), in the intermediate-scale size range, observed during this flight, show spectral peak at kilometer scales and can be interpreted in terms of the image striation theory suggested by Vickrey et al. The irregularities at 176 km do not exhibit any peak at kilometer scales and appear to be of a new type. Scale sizes of vertical electric field fluctuations showed a decrease with increasing altitude. The most prominent scales were of the order of a few kilometers around 170 km and a few hundred meters around 310 km. Spectra of intermediate-scale vertical electric field fluctuations below the base of the F region (210/257 km) showed a tendency to become slightly flatter (spectral index n = –2.1 ± 0.7) as compared to the valley region (n = –3.6 ± 0.8) and the region below the F peak (n = –2.8 ± 0.5). Correlation analysis of the electron density and vertical electric field fluctuations suggests the presence of a sheared flow of current in 160/330 km region.     

中性风与等离子体行星波的同步振荡

本文是“赤道异常的行星波振荡”的续篇。提供新的事实以说明:由于中层大气的行星波振荡会调制到潮汐风上面,潮汐风上升到E层发电机区域,通过发电机效应产生电场及S_q电流体系的行星波振荡。电场沿磁力线传到F_2层,通过“喷泉效应”引起电离层赤道异常的行星波振荡。所有这些振荡来源相同,所以是同步的。     

不同方位甚低频电磁波衰减的初步研究*

利用2005—2010年DEMETER卫星记录NWC发射站的19.8kHz电场功率谱数据,采用统计和线性拟合等方法,研究了NWC站发射的电磁波在顶部电离层及磁共轭区激发的电场效应及其在不同方位的衰减特性。结果发现:(1)在NWC发射站上空,卫星记录电场呈椭圆状扩散分布,电场最强中心点位置相对地面人工源位置有一定偏移;(2)研究区上空电场北部衰减梯度最小,东部衰减梯度最大;(3)在其磁共轭区,南部电场衰减梯度最小,北部衰减梯度最大。综合分析认为人工源(NWC)发射的VLF电磁波传播到电离层高度后,受地磁场影响,电磁波主要沿磁力线方向传播,空间电场最强中心点位置相对发射站的位置发生偏移,向磁赤道方向倾斜,而且偏于磁赤道方向的电场衰减梯度最小。     

First observation of quasi-2-day oscillations in ionospheric plasma frequency at fixed heights

The existence and development of the quasi-2-day oscillations in the plasma frequency variations of the F region at northern middle latitudes are investigated. A new approach to study the quasi-2-day oscillations is presented, using a methodology that allows us to do such a study at fixed heights. The hourly values of plasma frequency at fixed heights, from 170 km to 220 km at 10 km step, obtained at the Observatori de lEbre station (40.8°N, 0.5°E) during 1995 are used for analysis. It is found that quasi-2-day oscillations exist and persisted in the ionospheric plasma frequency variations over the entire year 1995 for all altitudes investigated. The dominant period of oscillation ranges from 42 to 56 h. The amplitude of oscillation is from 0.1 MHz to 1 MHz. The activity of the quasi-2-day oscillation is better expressed during the summer half year when several enhancements, about 15–30 days in duration, were observed. The largest enhancements of the oscillation occurred during early June, July and early August; i. e., near and after the summer solstice when the 2-day wave in the middle neutral atmosphere typically displays its largest activity in the Northern Hemisphere. The results obtained may help us understand better the possible influencing mechanisms between the 2-day wave in the middle neutral atmosphere and the ionospheric quasi-2-day oscillations.     

Global pattern of the ionospheric response to large-scale internal gravity waves

The global pattern of the ionospheric response to large-scale acoustic gravity waves (LS AGW) has been constructed on the basis of an analysis of the large data set available during the 22 March 1979, magnetic storm. Ground-based ionospheric measurements and in-situ satellite measurements from Cosmos-900 were used in this study together with the Joule heating distribution in the high-latitude ionosphere specifically taken at the maxima of two substorms. The characteristics of the reconstructed planetary pattern of the LS AGW have been analysed in detail. It has been established that the LS AGW effects in the ionosphere in terms of both universal and local time were determined by the pattern of high-latitude atmospheric heating, and that the wave front of the LS AGW during both substorms covered practically all local times, i.e. all longitudes. In addition, it was established that one of the sources of the LS AGW was the thermospheric heating in the day-side cusp region. The local time dependence of the amplitude of the AGW effect in both maximum height, h_mF2, and critical frequency, f_OF2, has been reconstructed for the mid-latitude F2 layer. The AGW effects were clearly separated from the electric field effects related to turnings of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) B_Z. In the day-time, electric field effects prevailed over the AGW effects, but during the night-time the amplitudes of these two effects were comparable. In contrast to the common view, f_OF2 variations after the AGW passage had a quasi-sinusoidal character both in the day-time and in the night-time. In the night-time ionosphere a high degree of symmetry was observed for the AGW effects in Northern and Southern hemispheres. During the day-time a significant asymmetry was observed in the American longitudinal sector which was related largely to the peculiarities of the heating pattern in the high-latitude ionospheres of the Northern and Southern hemispheres. These observations demonstrate the complexity of the response of the ionosphere at all latitudes to heating of the auroral region.     

江苏地区地电场变化特征与差异性分析

处理、分析了江苏省4个台的地电场日变化资料,结合地磁场水平分量H、线应变理论固体潮,研究了地电场日变化特征和差异,得到：（1）4个台地电场日变化明显,主要以12小时的半日波成分最强,8小时周期和全日波成分次之;（2）地电场日变化存在地磁场和固体潮影响。靠近海边及湖泊的台站,受固体潮的影响较为明显,各方向还具有明显的固体潮半月波,但没有像固体潮一样大小的波;而远离江、海、湖的一些台站观测到的地电场日变与地磁水平分量比较相关,其差异性与台站的位置、电性结构有关系。     

Nonlinear plasma wave processes observed in the polar cusp

We present observations of electric and magnetic field variations from proton (about few Hz) to electron cyclotron frequencies (about few kHz) obtained by STAFF instrument on Cluster satellites during two cusp crossings, at ∼6 R _E altitude, in September 2002. The cusp was identified by the presence of intensive fluxes of counter streaming electrons with low energies and broadband wave activity which is typical for this region. Special attention is given for the interval of measurements when the waveform of the magnetic field fluctuations was taken in this region by CLUSTER satellites. The wave has been processed using the wavelet and bispectral analysis. Results showing the cascade of turbulence and wave-wave interactions are presented in this paper. A three wave process can be responsible for the broadening of the wave spectra in the polar cusp.
