对流电场、场向电流和极光区电集流是磁层一电离层耦合的主要物理过程．它们的演化发展时间分别为几分钟至半小时的量级．本文用１００°Ｅ和３００°Ｅ的两个地磁经度链附近各１１个台站的１ｍｉｎ均值地磁Ｈ和Ｚ分量资料,分析了１９９４年４月１６-１７日磁暴期间磁层耦合过程对极光区和中低纬区电离层扰动的地磁特征．强磁暴开始时,台站所处的地方时位置不同,则观测到的电离层和地磁响应也完全不同．这是磁层对流和一、二区场向电流共同作用的结果．一般说,扰时极光区的西向电集流变化更为强烈．随着耦合的发展,极光区范围会向南北扩展,电集流中心带则向低纬侧移动．在中低纬区,二区场向电流的建立能屏蔽一区场向电流所产生的扰动,并引起反向的电流及地磁变化．由此,中低纬区夜间有可能出现短时间的东向电场,又可通过ＥＸＢ的垂直向上漂移作用抬升Ｆ层等离子体,并发生同一经度链附近的多站电离层ｈ＇Ｆ同时突增现象．另一方面,磁赤道附近的台站则更多地受内磁层赤道环电流和电离层赤道电集流的影响． 相似文献

利用南极中山站数字式电离层测高仪在１９９５年的观测数据和ＩＭＰ８卫星观测的行星际磁场数据进行分析,揭示了南极极隙区纬度的电离层漂移的主要特征：电离层漂移主要是水平方向的运动,并且具有大体一致的日变化模式,在当地时间正午附近存在着指向极点的漂移运动,在晚上时间存在着离开极点的漂移运动,显示出在极区存在着逆阳对流;行星际磁场的平径向分量Ｂｙ在影响极隙区纬度电离层漂移运动方面起着主寻作用。当Ｂｙ＜０时,指向极点的漂移运动入口处大约在ＣＧＬＴ的７：００一８：００之间,并且在ＣＧＬＴ的０点左右的漂移运动方向偏西;当Ｂｙ＞０时,指向极点的漂移运动人口处大约在ＣＧＬＴ的９：００－１０：００之间,并且在ＣＧＬＴ的０点左右的漂移运动方向偏东;南半球的等离子体对流图形大体上与北半球成镜面对称关系． 相似文献

采用国际上广泛认可的高层大气和电离层经验模式提供的各种参数, 通过电离层电流连续方程, 计算出强磁暴条件下6月至日和12月至日内, 磁纬±72°和磁地方时00:00～24:00之间电离层电场、电流等的分布. 计算中考虑了地磁和地理坐标间的偏离; 除中性风场感生的发电机效应外, 还包含了磁层耦合(极盖区边界的晨昏电场和二区场向电流)的驱动外源. 结果表明, 6月至日时, 磁层扰动自极光区向中低纬的穿透情况在南、北半球内基本接近, 北半球内略强; 但12月至日时, 呈现明显的不对称性, 南半球的电流穿透远强于北半球, 而电场的穿透则是在北半球更强. 无论南北半球, 在中高纬地区, 午夜至黎明时段出现较强的东向电场分量, 其[WTHX]E×B[WTBZ]的向上漂移效应, 正是解释我们以往不少研究现象中所期盼的物理机制. 相似文献

本文就地球电离层对行星际激波的动力学响应进行三维全球数值模拟研究．背景行星际磁场为螺旋场，南北分量为零；初始电离层由Ⅰ区场向电流和相应的晨昏电场所主导；行星际激波沿日地连线方向撞击地球．模拟结果表明，在激波的作用下，电离层Ⅰ区电流系统向子夜方向运动，在向阳侧相继出现与原Ⅰ区电流反向的异常场向电流对和同向的新生Ⅰ区电流对．该异常场向电流对在极盖区形成瞬间昏晨电场，尾随原Ⅰ区电流向夜侧方向漂移直至湮没．与此同时，新生的Ⅰ区电流不断增强并向夜侧和赤道方向延伸，最终取代原Ⅰ区电流，相应极盖区又恢复到原来的晨昏电场状态．这一响应过程和行星际激波强度有关：激波强度越强，新生的Ⅰ区场向电流也越强，它向赤道方向延伸的距离也越大，能到达的纬度也越低．上述结果在趋势上与观测到的输运对流涡旋和亚极光块的运动特征一致． 相似文献

用电离层风发电机理论,对不同的电导率模型分别计算了磁静日和磁扰日期间不同月相的理论L电流体系。磁静日的L电流主要分布在纬度0°-60°之间的白天一侧,与平均太阴月的L电流相比,白天一侧的电流强度增大了1.2-1.7倍,而夜间减小到十分之一。磁扰日的L电流体系在高纬度区形成特征的电流分布（Lp）。磁扰日期间,极光带电导率的增大不仅影响极光带和高纬度地区的电流分布,而且使中低纬度的L电流增强了20-30％,使赤道电急流增强约20％,并使中低纬电流涡的焦点向高纬移动了4°左右。 相似文献

利用ISEE－1和ISEE-2飞船观测的磁场数据，分析了地球内磁层场向电流的统计特征，包括场向电流的空间（L值和地方时）分布；流进和流出电离层的场向电流随地方时的变化；场向电流发生率与地磁活动水平（以AL指数表征）、行星际磁场（IMF）Bz的关系，电流强度和密度随地磁活动水平的变化等．发现，场向电流大都发生在夜间，且集中在L为6-10区域内，场向电流发生率，强度和密度随地磁活动增强而增大，行星际磁场南向时的发生率远远高于北向时的发生率．这些结果表明，内磁层场向电流的产生是太阳风和磁层、电离层间电动耦合增加的结果． 相似文献

Geomagnetically quiet day variations in the polar region are reviewed with respect to geomagnetic field variation, ionospheric plasma convection, electric field and current. Persistently existing field-aligned currents are the main source of the polar regionSq. Consequently, the morphology and variability of the polar regionSq largely depend upon both field-aligned currents and ionospheric conductivity. Since field-aligned currents are the major linkage between the ionosphere and the magnetosphere, the latter is controlled by solar wind state, in particular, the interplanetary magnetic field, the polar regionSq exhibits remarkable IMF dependence. 相似文献

ESR and EISCAT observations of the response of the cusp and cleft to IMF orientation changes 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

We report observations of the cusp/cleft ionosphere made on December 16th 1998 by the EISCAT (European incoherent scatter) VHF radar at Troms and the EISCAT Svalbard radar (ESR). We compare them with observations of the dayside auroral luminosity, as seen by meridian scanning photometers at Ny Ålesund and of HF radar backscatter, as observed by the CUTLASS radar. We study the response to an interval of about one hour when the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF), monitored by the WIND and ACE spacecraft, was southward. The cusp/cleft aurora is shown to correspond to a spatially extended region of elevated electron temperatures in the VHF radar data. Initial conditions were characterised by a northward-directed IMF and cusp/cleft aurora poleward of the ESR. A strong southward turning then occurred, causing an equatorward motion of the cusp/cleft aurora. Within the equatorward expanding, southward-IMF cusp/cleft, the ESR observed structured and elevated plasma densities and ion and electron temperatures. Cleft ion fountain upflows were seen in association with elevated ion temperatures and rapid eastward convection, consistent with the magnetic curvature force on newly opened field lines for the observed negative IMF By. Subsequently, the ESR beam remained immediately poleward of the main cusp/cleft and a sequence of poleward-moving auroral transients passed over it. After the last of these, the ESR was in the polar cap and the radar observations were characterised by extremely low ionospheric densities and downward field-aligned flows. The IMF then turned northward again and the auroral oval contracted such that the ESR moved back into the cusp/cleft region. For the poleward-retreating, northward-IMF cusp/cleft, the convection flows were slower, upflows were weaker and the electron density and temperature enhancements were less structured. Following the northward turning, the bands of high electron temperature and cusp/cleft aurora bifurcated, consistent with both subsolar and lobe reconnection taking place simultaneously. The present paper describes the large-scale behaviour of the ionosphere during this interval, as observed by a powerful combination of instruments. Two companion papers, by Lockwood et al. (2000) and Thorolfsson et al. (2000), both in this issue, describe the detailed behaviour of the poleward-moving transients observed during the interval of southward Bz, and explain their morphology in the context of previous theoretical work. 相似文献

The seasonal effects in the thermosphere and ionosphere responses to the precipitating electron flux and field-aligned current variations, of the order of an hour in duration, in the summer and winter cusp regions have been investigated using the global numerical model of the Earths upper atmosphere. Two variants of the calculations have been performed both for the IMF By < 0. In the first variant, the model input data for the summer and winter precipitating fluxes and field-aligned currents have been taken as geomagnetically symmetric and equal to those used earlier in the calculations for the equinoctial conditions. It has been found that both ionospheric and thermospheric disturbances are more intensive in the winter cusp region due to the lower conductivity of the winter polar cap ionosphere and correspondingly larger electric field variations leading to the larger Joule heating effects in the ion and neutral gas temperature, ion drag effects in the thermospheric winds and ion drift effects in the F2-region electron concentration. In the second variant, the calculations have been performed for the events of 28–29 January, 1992 when precipitations were weaker but the magnetospheric convection was stronger than in the first variant. Geomagnetically asymmetric input data for the summer and winter precipitating fluxes and field-aligned currents have been taken from the patterns derived by combining data obtained from the satellite, radar and ground magnetometer observations for these events. Calculated patterns of the ionospheric convection and thermospheric circulation have been compared with observations and it has been established that calculated patterns of the ionospheric convection for both winter and summer hemispheres are in a good agreement with the observations. Calculated patterns of the thermospheric circulation are in a good agreement with the average circulation for the Southern (summer) Hemisphere obtained from DE-2 data for IMF By < 0 but for the Northern (winter) Hemisphere there is a disagreement at high latitudes in the afternoon sector of the cusp region. At the same time, the model results for this sector agree with other DE-2 data and with the ground-based FPI data. All ionospheric and thermospheric disturbances in the second variant of the calculations are more intensive in the winter cusp region in comparison with the summer one and this seasonal difference is larger than in the first variant of the calculations, especially in the electron density and all temperature variations. The means that the seasonal effects in the cusp region are stronger in the thermospheric and ionospheric responses to the FAC variations than to the precipitation disturbances. 相似文献

A long series of polar patches was observed by ionosondes and an all-sky imager during a disturbed period (Kp = 7- and IMF Bz <0). The ionosondes measured electron densities of up to 9 × 1011 m−3 in the patch center, an increase above the density minimum between patches by a factor of ≈4.5. Bands of F-region irregularities generated at the equatorward edge of the patches were tracked by HF radars. The backscatter bands were swept northward and eastward across the polar cap in a fan-like formation as the afternoon convection cell expanded due to the IMF By > 0. Near the north magnetic pole, an all-sky imager observed the 630-nm emission patches of a distinctly band-like shape drifting northeastward to eastward. The 630-nm emission patches were associated with the density patches and backscatter bands. The patches originated in, or near, the cusp footprint where they were formed by convection bursts (flow channel events, FCEs) structuring the solar EUV-produced photoionization and the particle-produced auroral/cusp ionization by segmenting it into elongated patches. Just equatorward of the cusp footprint Pc5 field line resonances (FLRs) were observed by magnetometers, riometers and VHF/HF radars. The AC electric field associated with the FLRs resulted in a poleward-progressing zonal flow pattern and backscatter bands. The VHF radar Doppler spectra indicated the presence of steep electron density gradients which, through the gradient drift instability, can lead to the generation of the ionospheric irregularities found in patches. The FLRs and FCEs were associated with poleward-progressing DPY currents (Hall currents modulated by the IMF By) and riometer absorption enhancements. The temporal and spatial characteristics of the VHF backscatter and associated riometer absorptions closely resembled those of poleward moving auroral forms (PMAFs). In the solar wind, IMP 8 observed large amplitude Alfvén waves that were correlated with Pc5 pulsations observed by the ground magnetometers, riometers and radars. It is concluded that the FLRs and FCEs that produced patches were driven by solar wind Alfvén waves coupling to the dayside magnetosphere. During a period of southward IMF the dawn-dusk electric field associated with the Alfvén waves modulated the subsolar magnetic reconnection into pulses that resulted in convection flow bursts mapping to the ionospheric footprint of the cusp. 相似文献

本文用行星际和地面磁场以及电离层资料,讨论了三次磁暴期间高、中纬电离层电场对太阳风和磁层内变化的响应。 分析表明,当IMF的Bx分量由北向转为南向时,太阳风驱动的磁层对流变化能直接反映出高纬电离层电位的变化。但持续南向的Bx再次增强时,太阳风输入的主要能量耗损于内磁层过程;电离层的响应表现为一个弛豫过程。当Bx由南转北时,环电流的消失对电离层的作用同样有弛豫的特点。此时,驱动电位已撤消,环电流是维持电离层电位的唯一外源。 本文用电路类比及简单模式法结论对上述几种实测情况进行了讨论。 相似文献
