本文在如下假定下分析电离层电导对地球磁层顶和舷激波尺度的影响：（1）对电离层采用球壳近似,Pedersen电导ΣP均匀,Hall电导为零;（2）地磁偶极矩处于正南方向,行星际磁场（IMF）只有南向分量（Bz<0）.磁层顶和舷激波的尺度分别由它们与GSE坐标系三个轴的交点,即日下点、晨昏侧翼点和南北顶点的地心距离表征.对给定的太阳风条件、Bz和ΣP,通过三维全球MHD模拟获得系统的准定态.结果表明,在大约1～5 S范围内,ΣP值显著影响磁层顶和舷激波的尺度,而在该范围之外则几乎没有影响.随着ΣP的增加,磁层顶和舷激波整体向外扩张,前者的扩张程度低于后者,以至磁鞘区的范围扩大.磁层顶的侧翼点的位置随ΣP的变化与Bz的幅度有关：在弱南向IMF情况下磁层顶的侧翼点随ΣP的增加向内移动,而在强南向IMF情况下则向外移动.上述结果表明,在构建磁层顶和舷激波的经验模型时,有必要计入电离层电导的影响. 相似文献

本文提出一个模型,通过此模型得到土星千米波辐射源（Saturn's Kilometric Radiation Source）的分布.这个模型就是：磁层顶的开尔文-亥姆霍兹不稳定性（Kelvin Helmholtz Instability）会导致阿尔芬波沿着弯曲的磁力线传播到土星极区附近,并在这个过程中使土星电离层附近（1Rs高度,Rs为土星半径)的粒子加速沉降,发生回旋不稳定性（Cyclotron Maser Instability）,进而产生R-X模式辐射的非寻常波（Extraordinary wave）.我们认为,极区发生回旋不稳定性的区域就是土星千米波辐射源的区域.本文求出了磁层顶附近开尔文-亥姆霍兹不稳定性发生在土星本地时（Saturn's Local Time）11 LT以前,得出了阿尔芬波沿磁力线传播到土星需要约383 min,求解出向阳面磁力线弯曲了约80°,最后得出土星千米波辐射源分布从黎明段的7～9 LT延伸到傍晚段的18 LT,并且黎明段分布的纬度比傍晚段低. 相似文献

综合分析EISCAT雷达与卫星当地测量数据,并利用磁层磁场模式对磁力线进行追踪,研究了发生在极光椭圆朝极盖边界附近电离层中,一例反常的背离太阳流动的强等离子体对流事件,及相关的太阳风-磁层-电离层耦合过程.结果表明,磁暴期间IMFBz指向南时观测到这一反常高速对流,及其相应的等离子体性态特征,很可能是向阳侧磁层顶磁重联过程在电离层中的印记. 相似文献

地球等离子体层作为内磁层的重要组成部分,在空间天气过程的发生和发展过程中都起着非常重要的作用.地球等离子体层是由上行电离层粒子被地球磁力线捕获而形成的圆环状冷的等离子体区域.等离子体层的外边界称为等离子体层顶,在该区域的等离子体层密度在0.5个地球半径内下降了1～2个数量级.地球等离子体层结构的动态变化特征是空间环境扰动状态的指示器,其结构形态和动力学过程受地磁场和电场控制,而地磁场短期变化源于太阳活动引起的日地扰动.地磁暴期间等离子体层的大规模结构演化影响等离子体层中波的产生和传播,从而影响波-粒子相互作用,导致内磁层中电子和离子的空间分布发生变化,进而影响其它磁层和电离层过程.对地球等离子体层进行进一步研究,对揭示太阳风-磁层-电离层耦合过程中的质量输运和能量转移、空间天气预报等方面都具有重要的意义.本文对等离子体层和地磁活动的关系、等离子体层中的波、顶部电离层及等离子体层电子含量的变化规律和等离子体层模型等方面的研究进展进行了介绍.最后,我们还对等离子体层研究方面一些亟待解决的问题进行了展望. 相似文献

本文通过利用包含离心力的自洽、轴对称稳态木星磁层模型,以及等离子体细丝运动理论对磁尾重联产生的磁通量管向内输运进行研究.基于细丝运动理论模型,通过MHD数值模拟我们可以得到磁通量管随时间变化的许多特性.模拟结果表明,重联产生的磁通量管向内运动可到达10RJ以内,磁通量管赤道部分的速度可以达到350km·s-1左右,表现出很强的向行星方向的流动.初始磁通量管中的等离子体密度和压强均小于周围介质,随着它迅速向木星方向运动,它的等离子体密度由于体积压缩逐渐上升,等离子体压强则逐渐上升到与周围介质相当.磁通量管在电离层上足点向赤道方向的运动滞后于它在赤道面上向行星方向的运动. 相似文献

使用二维粒子模拟（PIC）的方法研究了在电流片两侧具有不同温度或密度情况下的无碰撞磁场重联过程.在初始等离子体密度非对称的情况下,发现重联区等离子体流场结构、电磁场结构以及重联过程与对称情况下的结果有明显不同.通过对电流片两侧温度比取不同的参数Tm/Ts=1,2,5进行模拟(其中Tm和Ts分别代表磁层侧和磁鞘侧的温度),结果分析发现,(1)在密度非对称系统中,出流区电子沿着分离面出现一个整体的从高密度区向低密度区的流动,并围绕磁岛形成一个电流环;(2)在高温低密度一侧,在重联过程中,分离面两侧将出现很强的电荷分离并产生一个基本垂直于分离面的强度较大的电场Ez,其幅度和空间尺度与温度梯度近似地成线性正比和反比关系.在初始电流片两侧温度之比取Tm/Ts=5的情况下,Ez的幅度将达到0.71,其空间尺度与局地电子惯性长度de同一量级,这一结果与观测相吻合;(3)重联率随着温度梯度增大而下降. 相似文献

We study the influence of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) and convection electric field on the rate and destination of polar wind and other thermal (low-energy) ion outflows, and its resulting effects on magnetosphere–ionosphere coupling, using single-particle trajectory simulations in conjunction with ion velocity distribution measurements on Akebono and IMF and ionospheric convection data. We find that the ions preferentially feed the dusk sector of the plasma sheet when the IMF is duskward (By>0), and are more evenly distributed in the plasma sheet when the IMF is dawnward. The flow of oxygen ions originating from the noon or dusk sectors of the polar cap has a higher probability of reaching the magnetosphere and beyond compared with that from the dawn or midnight sectors, due to the increased centrifugal acceleration associated with the larger magnetic field curvature near noon and the increased convection electric field in the dusk sector. The flow is enhanced and confined to lower L-shells at times of strongly southward IMF, compared with that at times of northward IMF. The outflow rate to both the plasma sheet and the magnetotail correlates strongly with the ion temperature. As a result, the IMF and the convection electric fields affect both the overall magnitude and the detailed distribution of mass transfer from the ionosphere to the magnetosphere in magnetosphere–ionosphere coupling. 相似文献

We have used a global time-dependent magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation of the magnetosphere and particle tracing calculations to determine the access of solar wind ions to the magnetosphere and the access of ionospheric O+ ions to the storm-time near-Earth plasma sheet and ring current during the September 24–25, 1998 magnetic storm. We found that both sources have access to the plasma sheet and ring current throughout the initial phase of the storm. Notably, the dawnside magnetosphere is magnetically open to the solar wind, allowing solar wind H+ ions direct access to the near-Earth plasma sheet and ring current. The supply of O+ ions from the dayside cusp to the plasma sheet varies because of changes in the solar wind dynamic pressure and in the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). Most significantly, ionospheric O+ from the dayside cusp loses access to the plasma sheet and ring current soon after the southward turning of the IMF, but recovers after the reconfiguration of the magnetosphere following the passage of the magnetic cloud. On average, during the first 3 h after the sudden storm commencement (SSC), the number density of solar wind H+ ions is a factor of 2–5 larger than the number density of ionospheric O+ ions in the plasma sheet and ring current. However, by 04:00 UT, ∼4 h after the SSC, O+ becomes the dominant species in the ring current and carries more energy density than H+ ions in both the plasma sheet and ring current. 相似文献

A standard pair of equations is used to describe the behaviour of a single monoenergetic particle (proton or electron) population on a geomagnetic flux tube drifting in the magnetosphere. When particle losses from the drifting flux tube into the ionosphere are neglected, this behaviour is adiabatic in a thermodynamic sense. For a population of particles with an isotropic pitch-angle distribution, the generalization of that system of equations is obtained by adding radial and azimuthal spatial diffusion terms. The magnetic field is taken to be dipolar in the inner magnetosphere. The potential electric field is assumed to consist of magnetospheric convection and corotation components. Experimental data are used to estimate the radial equatorial profiles of the plasma sheet pressure. Assuming that the local time and L-shell variations are separable and supposing steady-state conditions, the expressions for the diffusion tensor components are evaluated. The influence of spatial diffusion on the radial and azimuthal profiles of the plasma pressure in the inner plasma sheet is also discussed. 相似文献

This paper briefly summarizes published work in the field of planetary magnetospheres from 1991 to mid-1993. The 1992 Ulysses fly-by and the proximity of Jupiter for remote sensing have meant that the Jovian magnetosphere has dominated interest in the field, resulting in studies of the interaction of magnetospheric plasma with dust grains as well as the satellite Io, the morphology and chemistry of the Io plasma torus, the aurora, plus plasma processes in the middle magnetospheric current sheet and outer magnetosphere. Two debates (about the plasma sources and transport rate and about the degree of symmetry of the magnetic field) have dominated recent work on the magnetosphere of Saturn. The effects of highly asymmetric magnetic fields on magnetospheric configurations and processes have been the major themes of work on the outermost giant planets since Voyager 2 flew past Uranus and Neptune in 1986 and 1989 respectively. 相似文献

While the plasma convection in the Earth's magnetosphere was for a long timeconsidered to consist mostly of laminar flows with wide spatial extents, about adecade ago the phenomenon of bursty bulk flows (BBFs), which now could beunderstood as long, but narrow channels of fast earthward plasma flow in thecentral plasma sheet of the magnetospheric tail, was discovered. Soon after thisit became clear that such events are not exceptional, but a large portion of theearthward plasma flow in the inner part of the magnetospheric tail is organisedin this bursty, intermittent mode. Since the Earth's magnetosphere is connectedby highly conducting magnetic field lines with its ionosphere, the next logicalstep was the search for the ionospheric signatures of BBFs. We review the resultsobtained so far in this young field of Space Physics, in terms of theauroral and ground magnetic signatures caused by BBFs, the particle precipitationto the ionosphere, as well as of the ionospheric electrodynamics of the processesassociated with the BBFs in the magnetosphere. Finally, we briefly review somemodels of ionosphere-magnetosphere coupling with respect to their ability to explainthe ionospheric signatures observed. 相似文献

The ionosphere influences magnetohydrodynamic waves in the magnetosphere by damping because of Joule heating and by varying the wave structure itself. There are different eigenvalues and eigensolutions of the three dimensional toroidal wave equation if the height integrated Pedersen conductivity exceeds a critical value, namely the wave conductance of the magnetosphere. As a result a jump in frequency can be observed in ULF pulsation records. This effect mainly occurs in regions with gradients in the Pedersen conductances, as in the auroral oval or the dawn and dusk areas. A pulsation event recorded by the geostationary GOES-6 satellite is presented. We explain the observed change in frequency as a change in the wave structure while crossing the terminator. Furthermore, selected results of numerical simulations in a dipole magnetosphere with realistic ionospheric conditions are discussed. These are in good agreement with the observational data. 相似文献

Latitudinal variations in the nighttime plasma temperatures of the equatorial topside ionosphere during northern winter at solar maximum have been examined by using values modelled by SUPIM (Sheffield University Plasmasphere Ionosphere Model) and observations made by the DMSP F10 satellite at 21.00 LT near 800 km altitude. The modelled values confirm that the crests observed near 15° latitude in the winter hemisphere are due to adiabatic heating and the troughs observed near the magnetic equator are due to adiabatic cooling as plasma is transported along the magnetic field lines from the summer hemisphere to the winter hemisphere. The modelled values also confirm that the interhemispheric plasma transport needed to produce the required adiabatic heating/cooling can be induced by F-region neutral winds. It is shown that the longitudinal variations in the observed troughs and crests arise mainly from the longitudinal variations in the magnetic meridional wind. At longitudes where the magnetic declination angle is positive the eastward geographic zonal wind combines with the northward (summer hemisphere to winter hemisphere) geographic meridional wind to enhance the northward magnetic meridional wind. This leads to deeper troughs and enhanced crests. At longitudes where the magnetic declination angle is negative the eastward geographic zonal wind opposes the northward geographic meridional wind and the trough depth and crest values are reduced. The characteristic features of the troughs and crests depend, in a complicated manner, on the field-aligned flow of plasma, thermal conduction, and inter-gas heat transfer. At the latitudes of the troughs/crests, the low/high plasma temperatures lead to increased/decreased plasma concentrations. 相似文献

When the effect of a solar wind dynamic pressure pulse on the magnetospheric and ionospheric dynamics is studied, it is usually difficult to detect the effect of a sudden change in the density against the background of the other varying solar wind parameters, which often play a most pronounced role. Cases in which the solar wind plasma density gradient dominated in the dynamics of the different parameters of an interplanetary medium and its magnetic field are considered in this work. Variations in the Earth’s dayside magnetopause current caused by a change in the solar wind ion density are presented for two such cases (February 11 and January 11, 1997) based on the method developed by us previously. Variations in the dayside magnetopause current for collisions of the magnetosphere with corotating interacting flows in January 2004, studied in detail by us previously, are also presented for Saturn. The estimates are comparable with the current values in the transitional three-dimensional current systems of Saturn that were previously calculated by us. 相似文献
