The broadband electrostatic turbulence generally observed in the high-latitude ionosphere is a superposition of nonlocal waves of ion-acoustic and ion-cyclotron types. In the presence of a shear of ion parallel velocity, ion-acoustic modes can be induced by an instability emerging due to an inhomogeneous distribution of energy density. This paper is devoted to the studies of excitation of oblique ion-acoustic wave in background configurations with inhomogeneous profiles of both electric field and ion parallel velocity. A numerical algorithm has been developed, and instability was simulated at various parameters of background plasma. The general possibility of oblique ion-acoustic wave generation by a gradient of ion parallel velocity is shown. In this case, the wave spectrum is found to be broadband, which agrees with satellite observations. 相似文献

下载免费PDF全文 The data of ionospheric perturbations observed on DEMETER before the 2007 Pu'er earthquake are analyzed. The three-component plasma (ions, electrons and heavy ions) is studied in the fluid concept. The linear dispersion relation for ion-acoustic wave is found in the presence of heavy ions. The nonlinear dynamics is studied for arbitrary amplitude of the wave. The Sagdeev potential is calculated, which shows that solitary structure exists for Mach number within a range defined by the presence of heavy ions. The developed ion-acoustic solitons may be used as precursor for earthquake prediction. 相似文献

This paper presents more data on the properties of type-1 irregularities in the nighttime midlatitude E-region ionosphere. The measurements were made with a 50-MHz Doppler radar system operating in Crete, Greece. The type-1 echoes last from several seconds to a few minutes and are characterized by narrow Doppler spectra with peaks corresponding to wave phase velocities of 250–350 m/s. The average velocity of 285 m/s is about 20% lower than nominal E-region ion-acoustic speeds, probably because of the presence of heavy metallic ions in the sporadic-E-layers that appear to be associated with the mid-latitude plasma instabilities. Sometimes the type-1 echoes are combined with a broad spectrum of type-2 echoes; at other times they dominate the spectrum or may appear in the absence of any type-2 spectral component. We believe these echoes are due to the modified two-stream plasma instability driven by a polarization electric field that must be larger than 10 mV/m. This field is similar in nature to the equatorial electrojet polarization field and can arise when patchy nighttime sporadic-E-layers have the right geometry. 相似文献

Summary Propagating acoustic-like disturbances generated by nuclear explosions have been observed to split in the lower ionosphere. The resulting two disturbances propagate vertically into the upper ionosphere at different speeds, the slower at ordinary sound speed in a neutral medium and the faster at almost twice the speed of sound.The faster disturbance travels at the speed of an ion-acoustic wave in the ionic fluid. Such identification is prohibited theoretically by the large damping, or coupling, of the ionic mode to the neutral particle medium through ion-neutral elastic collisions; however, if inelastic collisions are included in the theory, the principal exothermic charge-exchange and charge-transfer reactions in the ionosphere provide enough additional coherent momentum in the charged particles to offset the losses through elastic collisions. It is shown quantitatively that in some regions of the ionosphere ionacoustic wave propagation can occur almost losslessly.It is possible that under some conditions the ionosphere approaches an unstable chemical equilibrium that is relieved by the spontaneous generation of ion-acoustic wavelets. Various ionospheric observations are examined in which there is some evidence of the effects of ionospheric ionacoustic disturbances. 相似文献

Incoherent scatter radars are designed to detect scatter from thermalfluctuations in the ionosphere. These fluctuations contain, among other things,features associated with ion-acoustic waves driven by random motions within theplasma. The resulting spectra are generally broad and noisy, but neverthelessthe technique can, through a detailed analysis of spectra, be used to measure arange of physical parameters in the Earth's upper atmosphere, and provides apowerful diagnostic in studies of magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling,thermosphere dynamics and the geospace environment in general. In recent yearsthere has been much interest in naturally occurring (as opposed to artificiallystimulated) enhanced ion-acoustic spectra seen in the auroral zone andcusp/cleft region. A study of the plasma instability processes that lead tosuch spectra will help us to better understand auroral particle acceleration,wave-particle and wave-wave interactions in the ionosphere, and theirassociation with magnetospheric processes. There is now a substantial body ofliterature documenting observations of enhanced ion-acoustic spectra, but thereremains controversy over generation mechanisms. We present a review ofliterature documenting observations of naturally enhanced ion-acoustic spectra,observed mainly along the geomagnetic field direction, along with a discussionof the theories put forward to explain such phenomena. 相似文献

The generation of auroral kilometric radiation in a narrow 3D plasma cavity, in which a weakly relativistic electron flow is propagated along the magnetic field against a low-density cold background plasma, is studied. The time dynamics of the propagation and intensification of waves are analyzed using geometric optics equations. The waves have different wave vector components and start from the cavity center at an altitude of about the Earth’s radius at plasma parameters typical for the auroral zone at this altitude. It is shown that the global inhomogeneity of the Earth’s magnetic field is of key importance in shaping the auroral kilometric radiation spectra. 相似文献

FAST observations have indicated signatures of large amplitude solitary waves in the auroral zone of the earth's ionosphere. Our objective here is to propose a model for the generation of density cavities by the ponderomotive force of electron-acoustic waves. For this purpose, we derive a nonlinear Schrödinger equation for the electron-acoustic wave envelope as well as a driven (by the electron-acoustic wave ponderomotive force) ion-acoustic wave equation. Possible stationary solutions of our coupled equations are obtained. 相似文献

The losses of radiation belt electrons to the atmosphere due to wave–particle interactions with electromagnetic ion-cyclotron (EMIC) waves during corotating interaction region (CIR) storms compared to coronal mass ejections (CME) storms is investigated. Geomagnetic storms with extended ‘recovery’ phases due to large-amplitude Alfvén waves in the solar wind are associated with relativistic electron flux enhancements in the outer radiation belt. The corotating solar wind streams following a CIR in the solar wind contain large-amplitude Alfvén waves, but also some CME storms with high-speed solar wind can have large-amplitude Alfvén waves and extended ‘recovery’ phases. During both CIR and CME storms the ring current protons are enhanced. In the anisotropic proton zone the protons are unstable for EMIC wave growth. Atmospheric losses of relativistic electrons due to weak to moderate pitch angle scattering by EMIC waves is observed inside the whole anisotropic proton zone. During storms with extended ‘recovery’ phases we observe higher atmospheric loss of relativistic electrons than in storms with fast recovery phases. As the EMIC waves exist in storms with both extended and short recovery phases, the increased loss of relativistic electrons reflects the enhanced source of relativistic electrons in the radiation belt during extended recovery phase storms. The region with the most unstable protons and intense EMIC wave generation, seen as a narrow spike in the proton precipitation, is spatially coincident with the largest loss of relativistic electrons. This region can be observed at all MLTs and is closely connected with the spatial shape of the plasmapause as revealed by simultaneous observations by the IMAGE and the NOAA spacecraft. The observations in and near the atmospheric loss cone show that the CIR and CME storms with extended ‘recovery’ phases produce high atmospheric losses of relativistic electrons, as these storms accelerate electrons to relativistic energies. The CME storm with short recovery phase gives low losses of relativistic electrons due to a reduced level of relativistic electrons in the radiation belt. 相似文献

The plasma dispersion function and the reduced velocity distribution function are calculated numerically for any arbitrary velocity distribution function with cylindrical symmetry along the magnetic field. The electron velocity distribution is separated into two distributions representing the distribution of the ambient electrons and the suprathermal electrons. The velocity distribution function of the ambient electrons is modelled by a near-Maxwellian distribution function in presence of a temperature gradient and a potential electric field. The velocity distribution function of the suprathermal electrons is derived from a numerical model of the angular energy flux spectrum obtained by solving the transport equation of electrons. The numerical method used to calculate the plasma dispersion function and the reduced velocity distribution is described. The numerical code is used with simulated data to evaluate the Doppler frequency asymmetry between the up- and downshifted plasma lines of the incoherent-scatter plasma lines at different wave vectors. It is shown that the observed Doppler asymmetry is more dependent on deviation from the Maxwellian through the thermal part for high-frequency radars, while for low-frequency radars the Doppler asymmetry depends more on the presence of a suprathermal population. It is also seen that the full evaluation of the plasma dispersion function gives larger Doppler asymmetry than the heat flow approximation for Langmuir waves with phase velocity about three to six times the mean thermal velocity. For such waves the moment expansion of the dispersion function is not fully valid and the full calculation of the dispersion function is needed. 相似文献

The relativistic motion of electrons in the field of a finite amplitude circularly polarized whistler propagating along a constant magnetic field in a plasma with longitudinal inhomogeneity is considered. It is shown that the equations of the particle motion exhibit a constant of the motion despite the spatial dependence of the wave parameters. The existence of the constant allows one to reduce the equations of motion to a canonical form describing one-dimensional oscillations of a particle with the Hamiltonian slowly varying in the process of the oscillations. 相似文献

In this study, the effect of the electron sound speed on the extraordinary wave propagation is calculated without an approximation
for either collisional or collisionless cases in the ionospheric plasma by using the real geometry of the Earth’s magnetic
field for the Northern Hemisphere. It is observed that there is no remarkable effect on the propagation of the extraordinary
wave, especially at reflection altitudes. But it is also observed that the magnitudes of k
2 (the square of the wave number) have changed every season, and the phase velocity of wave in warm ionospheric plasma has
increased. 相似文献

On the theory of radio frequency emission from macroscopic hypervelocity impacts and rock fracturing
We suggest that the non-Maxwellian plasma produced during the catastrophic collapse of a rock (following, e.g., the impulsive momentum transfer in a collision between a hypervelocity projectile and a target rock, or the sudden failure of a rock specimen under stress) may satisfy the conditions for the onset of an ion-acoustic instability. If these fairly loose conditions are satisfied, the plasma may be the source of the electromagnetic RF radiation which has been detected in several laboratory experiments. The relevance of these results to the RF emissions which are know to accompany some earthquakes is discussed. 相似文献

本文讨论了等离子体湍流对电子加速的两种模型:（1）假定在空间中存在一个空间均匀的等离子体湍流区,当具有一定初始分布的电子束通过此湍流区时,研究湍流场对电子束的加速过程;（2）在某一封闭的区域中,存在着具有一定初始分布和空间均匀的等离子体,当某种类型的等离子体波突然传入此等离子体区,然后考察此区中电子的加速过程。在这两种模型中,可能存在着某种电子消失机制。假定湍谱是幂指数形式,我们给出了不同类型湍流扩散系数的普遍形式。利用较简单的数学方法,求解了包括消失过程的一维准线性动力学方程,对于给定的初始分布,得出了分布函数的解析解,并给出了平均能量时间关系的表达式。另外,对于特定的湍谱指数,解出了当平行电场和湍流同时存在时的分布函数。最后,对所得结果进行了数值分析和讨论。 相似文献

本文应用Chisnell- no方法,求解了在理想介貭中,垂直磁流体冲激波在非均勻磁場中的传播問題。这种方法,把非均勻介貭分解成无限小的弱間断面,根据气体动力学中波与間断面相互作用的原理,算出激波通过弱間断面时的强度变化,然后用积分求得激波通过整个非均勻区时的强度变化。作者引入了激波的特征速度（它是激波在波前后介貭中传播速度的几何平均值）作为輔助参量,得到形式上比較簡单的激波传播方程。然后考虑了磁压力远大于气体压力的强磁介貭中的激波传播問題,并进行了数值积分。采用的介貭密度模型有三种:（1）阿尔芬波速为常数;（2）密度不变;（3）密度与磁場强度成正比。計算結果表明:当激波由弱磁場向强磁場传播时,激波的强度逐漸变弱。其中,在阿尔芬波速为常数的介貭中,激波强度的衰减最为緩慢;在密度不变的介貭中,激波强度的衰減最为迅速;而在密度与磁場成正比的介貭中,激波强度的衰減則介乎上述两种密度分布之間。作者联系磁流体冲激波在地球外层空間的传播問題进行了討論,密度的模型采取大气啃昔的观測結果（卽上述第三种密度分布）,并进行了适当的外推,估計了在十个地球半径处的磁流体冲激波传到地面时的强度,求出了激波在地面引起的磁場变化与激波初始速度之間的关系。根据上述簡化模型,計算結果表明,在十个地球半径处初始速度为108厘米/秒的激波,传到地面引起的磁場变化大約为60伽（亻馬）,这个数值的量級恰好与中低緯度强磁暴的急始变幅相符。 相似文献
