Density measurements at 140, 160, 180 and 200km from the AE-C accelerometer experiment during 1974 are analyzed by least-squares multiple linear regression. The resulting empirical model is compared to the widely-used Jacchia (1971) model which is primarily based on satellite orbital decay data above 200 km. The semiannual and geomagnetic (Kp) variations derived from the AE-C data set are in good agreement with Jacchia's predictions. However, individual magnetic storm responses often exceed such average representations of the geomagnetic effect by more than a factor of two. The density is more variable with respect to the daily 10.7cm solar flux than Jacchia's model predicts. The regression analysis reveals a positive correlation with the absolute value of the geographic latitude. The statistical weakness of this latter effect reflects the transient, aperiodic nature of high-latitude heating events related to magnetic activity, which can only be properly analyzed on an individual basis. Finally, the sub-solar bulge effect enters the regression equation with about half the amplitude predicted by the Jacchia model at these heights. 相似文献

Ground-based observations of the occultation of ? Gem by Mars on April 8, 1976 have been reduced in the manner of French et al. [Icarus 33, 186–202 (1978)] to yield the scale height and temperature profiles of the Martian atmosphere for number densities between 1013 and 1015 cm?3. The deduced variations in temperature are remarkably similar to those obtained by Elliot et al. [Astrophys. J.217, 661–679 (1977)] and to the in situ measurements from the Viking landers. 相似文献

Modeling of the dayglow spectrum in the wavelength region between 3300 and 3500 Å indicates that the N2 second positive (0,0) band at 3371 Å is blended with the Vegard-Kaplan (0,9) band. A recent analysis of rocket observations of the dayglow shows that 20–30% of a 3371 Å narrow band filter-photometer signal is due to the VK emission (Conway and Christensen, 1983). Kopp (1977) and Hernandez (1983) reported analyses of 3371 Å photometer observations from the Visible Airglow Experiment on the Atmospheric Explorer-C (AE-C) satellite which did not consider the Vegard-Kaplan (VK) emission. The observations were compared to theoretical estimates of the second positive volume emission rate based on a photoelectron model and on absolute fluxes measured by the Photoelectron Spectrometer experiments on AE-C and AE-E. Inclusion of the VK band in the AE analysis would bring the reported photoelectron theory into agreement with the airglow observations. However, the overestimate of the N2 second positive airglow predicted by the AE-E photoelectron flux measurements increases to a factor of nearly two rather than the 20–30% reported by Hernandez (1983). 相似文献

An equation of heat transport in the Jovian magnetosphere is formulated and solved in the L range between 2 and 7. Sources of thermal energy include the heating associated with inward radial diffusion and a hypothetical heat supply originating from Io's dynamo action. The principal sink of the thermal energy is charge exchange in Io's hydrogen torus. In order to explain the density and temperature profile reported by Frank et al. (1976), the presence of the heat source at Io is essential and the density of the torus hydrogen has to be considerably lower than the value inferred from Lα observations by Carlson and Judge (1975). Radial diffusion represents the principal heating mechanism for plasma at very low L values. 相似文献

Energy distributions of the thermal electrons in the ionospheric plasma were measured on 16 January 1974 and 16 September 1976 by two Japanese rockets, K-9M-45 and K-9M-55 respectively near the focus of Sq current vortex. The main effort was to investigate the energy state of the thermal electrons in a localized hot electron layer which occurs at a height of around 105 km in winter.The results obtained on 16 January 1974 showed that the thermal electrons in the hot electron layer had not a pure Maxwell distribution. While on 16 September 1976, the energy distribution of the electrons was found to be almost Maxwellian in the dynamo region as well as the F-region. 相似文献

A one-dimensional model of the Venus thermosphere has been constructed which includes computation of the heating efficiency of solar ultraviolet radiation, heat loss by radiation to space of infrared-active species, thermal transport by molecular and eddy conduction, and viscous dissipation. By comparing model predictions with results obtained from the Pioneer Venus Orbiter space-craft, the results indicate that energy transport parameterized by eddy heat conduction plays a dominant role in determining thermospheric temperature T. It is suggested that there exists a feedback mechanism linking heating and thermospheric circulation such that eddy cooling maintains an asymptotic temperature T∞～300°K for both solar-maximum and solar-minimum conditions. We also study the variation in thermospheric temperature with solar zenith angle, atomic oxygen-mixing ratio, rate of vibrational excitation of CO2 by ground-state O atoms, and the assumed transfer of O(1D) electronic energy to CO2 vibrational energy. 相似文献

The solar extreme ultraviolet (e.u.v.) flux and solar ultraviolet (u.v.) flux in the Schumann-Runge continuum region have been measured by spectrometers on board the Atmosphere Explorer satellites from about 1974 to 1981. The solar flux spectra measured on 23 April 1974 (a day the Atmosphere Explorer satellite reference spectrum was obtained), 13–28 July 1976 (a period of spotless conditions near solar cycle minimum), and 19 February 1979 (a day near solar cycle maximum) are used to examine the global mean temperature structure of the thermosphere above 120 km. The results show that for solar cycle minimum the calculated global mean exospheric temperature is in agreement with empirical model predictions, indicating that the energy absorbed by the thermosphere is balanced by downward molecular thermal conduction. For solar cycle maximum the energy absorbed by the thermosphere is not balanced by downward thermal conduction but agreement between the calculated and observed temperature is obtained with the inclusion of 5.3μm radiational cooling by nitric oxide. Model calculations of the minor neutral constituents in the thermosphere show that about three times more nitric oxide is produced during solar cycle maximum than solar cycle minimum conditions. The results suggest that nitric oxide cooling is small during solar cycle minimum, because of low nitric oxide densities and low thermospheric temperatures, but it becomes significantly larger during solar cycle maximum, when nitric oxide densities and thermospheric temperatures are larger.23 April 1974 was a moderately disturbed day and the results of the global mean temperature calculation indicate that it is necessary to consider a high latitude heat source associated with the geomagnetic activity to obtain agreement between the calculated and observed global mean temperature structure. 相似文献

Radiative cooling and heat conduction determine the temperature structure of flare plasmas along magnetic field. It is shown that both in the case of slow heating and of impulsive heating, temperatures are distributed in such a way that classical collisional heat conduction is valid. 相似文献

It has recently been shown that radiative cooling of vibrationally excited NO at 5.3μm could result in a significant loss of heat from the lower thermosphere. In contrast to this effect, recent rocket measurements of atomic oxygen fine structure radiation at 63 μm suggests that radiation entrapment may greatly reduce the effectiveness of this process in cooling the lower thermosphere. In this paper we examine the effects of these processes on the u.v. heating efficiency ?. We point out that in the past the definition used for the heating efficiency runs counter to its logical application, and that strictly speaking, the above processes should be included as cooling processes in the energy equations. However, in order to compare out findings with past work we include the 0 and NO radiative cooling in the calculation of an effective heating efficiency, ?. We find that ? can vary from 45 to 60% depending on how the two radiative cooling mechanisms are included in the calculation. In addition it is found that the shape of the altitude profile of the heating efficiency varies significantly with season, while the peak value remains relatively invariant. 相似文献

The energy balance equation for a general solar atmosphere without assuming the plane-parallel approximation is solved analytically. This leads to models for both the transition region and inner corona as well as for the outer corona. The form of the latter is very similar to that of the hydrostatic conduction model of Chapman (1957). However, in this paper we confine ourselves only to the former.Model I is electron-pressure dependent but model II depends particularly on the maximum coronal temperature T
m and its corresponding altitude h
m. Both the models are compared with recently constructed temperature models of Chiuderi and Riani (1974), McWhirter et al. (1975), and Gabriel (1976a). It is concluded that our model II reproduces these models within a factor of not more than 2. 相似文献

Characteristic times for heating and cooling of the thermal X-ray plasma in solar flares are estimated from the time profile of the thermal X-ray burst and from the temperature, emission measure and over-all length scale of the flare-heated plasma at thermal X-ray maximum. The heating is assumed to be due to magnetic field reconnection, and the cooling is assumed to be due to heat conduction and radiation. Temperatures and emission measures derived from UCSD OSO-7 X-ray flare observations are used, and length scales are obtained from Big Bear large-scale Hα filtergrams for 17 small (subflare to Class 1) flares. The empirical values obtained for the characteristic times imply (1) that flares are produced by magnetic field reconnection, (2) that conduction cooling of the thermal X-ray plasma dominates radiative cooling and (3) that reconnection heating and conduction cooling of the thermal X-ray plasma are approximately in balance at thermal X-ray maximum. This model in combination with the data gives estimates for the electron number density (1010–1011 cm?3) and the magnetic field strength (10–100 G) in the thermal X-ray plasma and for the total thermal energy generated in a subflare (≈ 1030 erg for an Hα area ≈ 1 square degree) which agree with previous observational and theoretical estimates obtained by others. 相似文献

2 Pallas pole was revisited and using a set of old and new photoelectric observations of zero amplitudes the pole coordinates were determined. The synodic period of Schrollet al. (1976) was checked, and a good agreement found for both coordinates of the pole and synodic period with those determined by Schrollet al. (1976). 相似文献

The thermal response of the Earth's ionospheric plasma is calculated for various suddenly applied electron and ion heat sources. The time-dependent coupled electron and ion energy equations are solved by a semi-automatic computational scheme that employs Newton's method for coupled vector systems of non-linear parabolic (second order) partial differential equations in one spatial dimension. First, the electron and composite ion energy equations along a geomagnetic field line are solved with respect to a variety of ionospheric heat sources that include: thermal conduction in the daytime ionosphere; heating by electric fields acting perpendicular to the geomagnetic field line; and heating within a stable auroral red are (SAR-arc). The energy equations are then extended to resolve differential temperature profiles, first for two separate ion species (H+, O+) and then for four separate ion species (H+, He+, N+, O+) in addition to the electron temperature. The electron and individual ion temperatures are calculated for conditions within a night-time SAR-arc excited by heat flowing from the magnetosphere into the ionosphere, and also for typical midlatitude daytime ionospheric conditions. It is shown that in the lower ionosphere all ion species have the same temperature; however, in the topside ionosphere above about 400 km, ion species can display differential temperatures depending upon the balance between thermal conduction, heating by collision with electrons, cooling by collisions with the neutrals, and energy transfer by inter-ion collisions. Both the time evolution and steady-state distribution of such ion temperature differentials are discussed.The results show that below 300km both the electrons and ions respond rapidly (<30s) to variations in direct thermal forcing. Above 600 km the electrons and ions display quite different times to reach steady state, depending on the electron density: when the electron density is low the electrons reach steady state temperatures in 30 s, but typically require 700 s when the density is high; the ions, on the other hand, reach steady state in 700 s when the density is high, and 1500–2500 s when the density is low. Between 300 and 600 km, a variety of thermal structures can exist, depending upon the electron density and the type of thermal forcing; however steady state is generally reached in 200–1000 s. 相似文献

Measurements of electron density, plasma potential, and mean ion mass from the Explorer 31 satellite and measurements of ion current, plasma potential, and ion composition from the Atmosphere Explorer C (AE-C) satellite were used in a comparative study with theory regarding the charged particle distribution in the near wake of an ionospheric satellite. The theoretical wake model of Parker (1976) has been used in the study. It is shown that theory and experiment agree fairly well in the angle-of-attack range between 90 and 135°. In that angular range even the neutral approximation (which treats ions as if they were neutral particles thus ignoring the influence of the electric field) gives fair agreement with the measurements. In the maximum rarefaction zone (145 < θ < 180°), however, the theoretical model overestimates the measured ion depletion (AE-C measurements) by several orders of magnitude. A similar conclusion is drawn from the comparison between theory and the Explorer 31 electron measurements where the theory also significantly overestimates the electron depletion. The study indicates that the discrepancies are mainly due to the use of a steady-state theory and of a single ion equation (using a mean ion mass). It is recommended that improved agreement between theory and experiment be obtained by the use of the timedependent Vlasov-Poisson equations with separate equations for the various ion species. 相似文献

We present some analytical results about the existence of periodic orbits for the planar restricted three body problem with dissipation considered recently by Celletti et?al. (CMDA 109, 265, 2011) We show that, under fairly general conditions on the dissipation term, the circular orbits cannot be continued to the dissipative framework. Moreover, we give general conditions for the occurrence or not of a Hopf bifurcation around the libration points L 4 and L 5. Our results are consistent with the numerical findings of Celletti et?al. 相似文献

A contradiction in the sulfuric acid cloud hypothesis of Venus, i.e., nondetection of 4.8 μm polarization by Landau (1975), is examined on the basis of the multiple scattering calculations for the cloud model of Hansen and Hovenier (1974) including an internal heat source. Results show that the polarized thermal component cannot depolarize the scattered sunlight, and therefore a large polarization of about 13% is expected at a phase angle of 110° and wavelength of 4.8 μm, in contrast with Landau's measurements. Our computations are, however, in agreement with the measurements by S. Sato et al. (in “Proceedings, 10th Lunar and Planetary Symposium,” pp. 179–182. Institute of Space and Aeronautical Science, University of Tokyo, July 11–13, 1977). 相似文献

The thermal balance of the plasma in the night-time mid-latitude F2-region is examined using solutions of the steady-state O+ and electron heat balance equations. The required concentrations and field-aligned velocities are obtained from a simultaneous solution of the time-dependent O+ continuity and momentum equations.The results demonstrate the systematic trend for the O+ temperature to be 10–20 K greater than the electron temperature during the night at around 300 km, as observed at St. Santin by Bauer and Mazaudier. It is shown that frictional heating between the O+ and neutral gases is the cause of the O+ temperature being greater than the electron temperature; the greater the importance of frictional heating in the thermal balance the greater is the difference in the O+ and electron temperatures. A study is made of the roles played in the thermal balance of the plasma by the thermal conductivity of the O+ and electron gases; collisional heat transfer between O+ electrons and neutrals; frictional heating between the O+ and neutral gases; and advection and convection due to field-aligned O+ and electron motions. The results of the study show that, at around 300 km, electron cooling by excitation of the fine structure of the ground state of atomic oxygen plays a major role in the thermal balance of the electrons and, since the temperature of the ions is little affected by this electron cooling process, in determining the difference between the ion and electron temperatures. 相似文献

We report Arecibo (2380-MHz, 13-cm) observations of Asteroid 1580 Betulia in May-June 2002. We combine these continuous-wave Doppler spectra and delay-Doppler images with optical lightcurves from the 1976 and 1989 apparitions in order to estimate Betulia's shape and spin vector. We confirm the spin vector solution of Kaasalainen et al. [Kaasalainen, M., and 21 colleagues, 2004. Icarus 167, 178-196], with sidereal period P=6.13836 h and ecliptic pole direction (λ,β)=(136°,+22°), and obtain a model that resembles the Kaasalainen et al. convex-definite shape reconstruction but is dominated by a prominent concavity in the southern hemisphere. We find that Betulia has a maximum breadth of 6.59±0.66 km and an effective diameter of 5.39±0.54 km. These dimensions are in accord with reanalyzed polarimetric and radar data from the 1970s. Our effective diameter is 15% larger than the best radiometric estimate of Harris et al. [Harris, A.W., Mueller, M., Delbó, M., Bus, S.J., 2005. Icarus 179, 95-108], but this difference is much smaller than the size differences between past models. Considering orbits of test particles around Betulia, we find that this asteroid's unusual shape results in six equilibrium points close to its equatorial plane rather than the usual four points; two of these six points represent stable synchronous orbits while four are unstable. Betulia's close planetary encounters can be predicted for over four thousand years into the future. 相似文献

Orbiter ion mass spectrometer measurements, as available in the UADS data files are used to study the response of dayside Venus ions at various altitudes to solar wind dynamic pressure, P
sw. Ion densities below about 200 km are not affected by changes in P
sw. At altitudes above 200 km the ions get abruptly depleted with increase in P
sw, and this abrupt depletion occurs at lower altitudes when P
sw is high. At lower P
sw, the depletion occurs at higher altitudes. The effect is similar for all ions. These results are also compared with the empirical relationship observed by Brace et al. (1980) between the ionopause altitude and P
sw from electron density measurements on orbiter electron temperature probe. 相似文献
