F-lacuna是高纬极区电离层测高仪频高图上经常出现的一种F层回波描迹部分或全部消失的现象,直接影响电离层参数的标定,其表征的电离层物理过程尚未定论.利用南极中山站测高仪频高图数据,本文统计分析了Flacuna在不同太阳风速度水平下的发生频率,主要对2012年2月15日一次F2-lacuna观测实例的粒子沉降及电离层特性进行了分析.观测特征表明,F2-lacuna发生期间,电离层电子总含量TEC明显减小,昭和站SuperDARN高频雷达观测到的中山站上空电离层Bragg后向散射增强,但对应来自磁层的电子和离子沉降并不明显.这可能是由磁层亚暴引起的极区电离层电流体系扰动,触发电离层F-B不稳定性,产生沿场向排列的小尺度不规则体,其热效应导致F2层密度减小,F2-lacuna出现. 相似文献

This paper considers the results of an experiment conducted in May 2002 on the radio path St. Petersburg-Spitsbergen with
a length of D = 2150 km and equipped with instrumentation for oblique ionospheric sounding (OIS). The features of OIS ionograms at various
degrees of magnetic activity are revealed, and a comparison of these ionograms with the vertical sounding (VS) data at the
Sodankyla observatory (Finland) is performed. This observatory is located near the reflection point of the path in question.
In order to estimate the auroral absorption, riometer data from the Sodankyla observatory were included in the analysis of
the OIS and VS ionograms. The merits of the OIS method as a diagnostic tool of ionospheroic plasma in comparison with VS at
high latitudes are demonstrated. These merits are mainly formulated for magnetically disturbed periods: in the presence of
B events (black-outs), anomalous sporadic Es formations, and a series of other events. 相似文献

高频天波返回散射探测作为重要的电离层探测手段,能够实现遥远区域电离层空间上的连续监测,探测获取的返回散射扫频电离图显示了探测频率-群路径-回波能量三者之间的关系.由于电离图包含了探测路径上的电离层状态信息,通过对其反演可以实时获取大面积范围的电离层参数.本文提出了一种基于解空间约束的返回散射前沿反演算法,能够重构电离层水平不均匀结构.针对反演非线性问题,采用Newton-Kontorovich方法进行求解,同时又引入了求解不适定问题的Tikhonov正则化方法,有益于解的稳定性和唯一性.利用模拟数据和实测数据分别对本文建立的算法进行了验证,并与Fridman和Fridman于1994年提出的反演方法进行了对比.结果表明,本文算法反演结果稳定,对返回散射前沿判读误差不敏感,与Fridman和Fridman 1994年方法相比,本文方法对电离层局部精细结构反演更加准确,具有较高的反演精度.本文提出的算法不但能够反演白天和夜间这种电离层较平稳时期的电离层状态,而且对于日出/日落时段等电子浓度分布变化较快情形下的电离层,也有很好的反演效果,表明了该算法在处理复杂多变的实际探测的返回散射电离图中的应用价值. 相似文献

The experimental ionograms of the oblique-incidence sounding of the ionosphere, obtained on the St. Petersburg-Spitsbergen high-latitude HF radio path during the magnetically quiet period December 14–15, 2001, are compared with the model calculations of radiowave trajectories. For this purpose, the corresponding oblique-incidence ionograms are numerically synthesized using the technique based on the shooting method and the computer program for constructing HF radiowave trajectories. The three-dimensional electron density distribution, calculated using the mathematical model of the high-latitude ionosphere previously developed at the Polar Geophysical Institute (PGI), is used to model radio propagation. The numerical calculations make it possible mainly to explain the specific features of the experimental data on the oblique-incidence sounding of the ionosphere. 相似文献

The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of the main ionospheric trough location on the form of oblique sounding ionograms on the Murmansk-St. Petersburg subauroral radio path. Using a mathematical model of the high-latitude ionosphere, we have calculated four different distributions of electron density along the radio path. One of the distributions has been obtained when the trough is absent, and the remaining three distributions contain troughs of approximately identical depth and width but located at different distances from the ends of the radio path. Using the program of two-dimensional ray tracing, we numerically synthesized oblique-incidence ionograms for each of the four obtained distributions of electron density. The calculations have shown that the location of the main ionospheric trough affects considerably the shape of oblique-incidence ionograms. 相似文献

Additional strongly remote (up to 2000 km) radio-signal reflection traces on Intercosmos-19 ionograms obtained in the equatorial ionosphere have been considered. These traces, as a rule, begin at frequencies slightly lower than the main trace cutoff frequencies, which indicates that an irregularity with a decreased plasma density exists here. The waveguide stretched along the magnetic-field line is such an inhomogeneity in the equatorial ionosphere. The ray tracing confirm that radio waves propagate in a waveguide and make it possible to determine the typical waveguide parameters: ?δN e ≥ 10%, with a diameter of 15–20 km. Since the waveguide walls are smooth, an additional trace is always recorded distinctly even in the case in which main traces were completely eroded by strong diffusivity. Only one additional trace (of the radio signal X mode) is usually observed one more multiple trace is rarely recorded. Waveguides can be observed at all altitudes of the equatorial ionosphere at geomagnetic latitudes of ±40°. The formation of waveguides is usually related to the formation of different-scale irregularities in the nighttime equatorial ionosphere, which result in the appearance of other additional traces and spread F. 相似文献

The series of ionograms of the satellite radio sounding from altitudes below the ionospheric maximum, which were called a delayed lower track, is considered. The method for analyzing ionograms in such a series has been described. The appearance of the delayed lower track on ionograms is explained by the presence of a large ionospheric inhomogeneity which turns radiowaves of many frequencies toward a satellite. It has been assumed that the series of ionograms diagnoses the same inhomogeneity, the structural parameters of which can be determined. The electron density profiles in individual vertical sections of inhomogeneity and the inhomogeneity plasma frequency gradient have been presented, and an attempt to construct the spatial model of inhomogeneity has been made. 相似文献

The characteristic U-shaped traces (cusps) in ionograms are associated with the passage of traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs), which lead to horizontal electron density gradients in the ionosphere and, therefore, to off-angle reflections in radio sounding. A new form of representation is considered for daily ionospheric sounding data. A compound parabolic layer model is proposed, which allows analytical calculation of ray paths to speed up the “homing-in” of the rays. Changes in the shape of the trace in the ionogram due to varying the TID characteristics are examined. A discussion is given of the possibilities for estimating TID characteristics from digitized vertical sounding ionograms. 相似文献

Complicated ionograms of topside sounding on board the Intercosmos-19 satellite, which were registered on November 26, 1980,
in the dusk sector (1800 LT) at the latitudes of the equatorward wall (55°–62° ILAT) of the main ionospheric trough (MIT),
are analyzed. They are characterized by the presence of two extra traces at distances larger than the main traces. Approaching
the MIT minimum, all traces become more scattered, converge, and join into one strongly diffusive trace. An attempt of interpretation
of the complicated ionograms on the basis of trajectory calculations performed by the method of characteristics in the “complex”
two-dimensional version (in two mutually intersecting planes) is undertaken. The modeling shows that the extra traces could
be related to the presence of a large-scale irregularity stretched along the geomagnetic meridian at the equatorward wall
of the MIT. The calculations make it possible to estimate the parameters of the irregularity: the intensity is δfoF2 ∼ 30%, the length is several hundred kilometers, the semi-thickness is 50–60 km, and the height is 350 km. The possible
formation causes of the irregularity are discussed. The intensification of the diffuseness of all traces is related to the
increase in the intensity of small-scale irregularities, which is usually observed when approaching the MIT minimum. 相似文献

We describe an experiment in satellite radio-wave probing of the ionosphere, modified by powerful waves from the HF heating facility at Tromsø (Norway) in May 1995. Amplitude scintillations and variations of the phase of VHF signals from Russian navigational satellites passing over the heated region were observed. We show that both large-scale electron density irregularities (several tens of kilometers in size) and small-scale ones (from hundreds of meters to kilometers) can be generated by the HF radiation. Maximum effects caused by small-scale irregularities detected in the satellite signals are observed in the directions sector approximately parallel to the geomagnetic field lines although large-scale structures can be detected within a much larger area. The properties of small-scale irregularities (electron density fluctuations) are investigated by applying a statistical analysis and by studying experimental and model mean values of the logarithm of the relative amplitude of the signal. The results indicate that satellite radio probing can be a supporting diagnostic technique for ionospheric heating and add valuable information to studies of effects produced by HF modification. 相似文献

Accuracy in target location by over-the-horizon radar (OTHR) can be improved when the propagation channel is known. An inversion method able to provide an equivalent electron density profile of the ionosphere from backscatter ionograms is presented in this paper. The method uses the measurements realized by the radar during elevation scans. One difficulty when using measured data is the presence of outliers and, moreover, the lack of data for low elevation and for high elevation angle. The method presented here tries to overcome these difficulties. At the end, the inversion provides parameters of an equivalent ionosphere that can be used to characterize the propagation and to convert group path into ground range. 相似文献

F2 of the extraordinary wave of the F2-layer, we were first to detect the excitation of intense artificial small-scale ionospheric irregularities (ASIs), accompanied
by electron temperature increases by approximately 50%. The results of coordinated satellite and ground-based observations
of the powerful HF radiowave impact on the high-latitude ionosphere are considered. During ionospheric F-region heating by powerful HF radiowaves of ordinary polarization (O-mode) during evening hours, the phenomenon of ion outflow
accompanied by electron temperature increases and thermal plasma expansion was revealed. Concurrent DMSP-F15 satellite measurements
at a height of about 850 km indicate an O+ ion density increase. The CHAMP satellite observations identified ULF emissions at the modulation frequency (3 Hz) of the
powerful HF radiowave, generated during modulated emissions of the powerful HF radiowave of O-polarization and accompanied
by a substantial increase in the electron temperature and ASI generation. 相似文献

The mathematical model of radio sounding of the horizontally inhomogeneous ionosphere is proposed. Its validity is confirmed by the results of the experiment carried out onboard the Mir orbital station at heights below the electron density maximum in the ionosphere. In its turn, the mathematical model makes it possible to explain the appearance of new traces on ionograms obtained in this experiment as the result of the existence of backward trajectories toward the satellite during the radiowave propagation in the inhomogeneous ionosphere. 相似文献

The results of a comparison of the critical frequency values measured by an ionosonde of the Mir manned station (MS) and ground-based automatic ionospheric stations in various regions of the globe are presented in the paper. A comparison with European stations showed a coincidence of the results with a high significance level. The distributions of the critical frequencies in the regions of the equator in South America and in Southeast Asia obtained on the basis of the Mir results are qualitatively compared with the data of the International GPS Service (IGS) for the determination of the total electron content. The picture of the electron density distribution coincides qualitatively with the IGS data. The intervals of the strongest changes in the electron density in these regions were accompanied by the appearance of extra traces with large group delays in ionograms. 相似文献

Two high-latitude high-frequency (HF) paths of oblique-incidence ionospheric sounding were selected: Gor’kovskaya (GRK)–Dixon Island (DIK) and GRK–Lovozero (LOZ).The following propagation parameters were studied: F2MOF and F2MUF for the main signal, F2MOFl for lateral signals, EsMOF for a signal reflected from the sporadic ionospheric layer, and MOFm for the propagation modes of the M (or N) type. Here MOF and MUF are the maximum observed and usable frequencies, respectively. It was found that the reciprocal theorem is satisfied on two radio paths depending on the studied propagation parameter: the path length and location, time of day, and degree of magnetospheric disturbance. It was found that the reciprocal theorem is satisfied in 78, 50, and 30% of cases on the first path for the F2MUF values in the daytime under moderately disturbed conditions, in the morning, and at night, respectively. For the MOFm and moderately disturbed conditions on this path, the reciprocal theorem is satisfied in 40, 35, and 20% of cases in the daytime, morning, and at night, respectively. For the F2MUF values on the second path, reciprocity is satisfied in 73% of cases in the daytime and under moderately disturbed conditions and in 30% of cases at night during a quiet period. On this path, reciprocity is satisfied in 33% of all cases at night under strongly disturbed conditions. An unusual fact was also detected when ionograms of oblique-incidence ionospheric sounding were analyzed: the F2MUF values in the LOZ–GRK direction are almost always slightly (by 1–4%) larger than in the GRK–LOZ direction. A similar difference in the F2MUF values in the forward and backward directions can apparently be explained by the steep horizontal gradient in the electron density distribution from north to south in the reflection region of this path. Such a situation is not observed on the DIK–GRK line. 相似文献

This work describes a simple filter able to eliminate the traces caused by second-order reflection from ionograms. This filter is applied to Autoscala in order to smooth out cases in which the autoscaling of the ionogram is mistaken because the second-order F2 layer reflection is identified as first order. A dataset of 32,626 ionograms recorded at the ionospheric observatory of Rome was used to test the filter. 相似文献

The changing state of the ionosphere is generally monitored by networks of vertical ionosondes that provide us with regular
ionospheric sounding. Many ionospheric applications require determination of the true-height electron density profiles. Therefore,
ionograms must be further inverted into real-height electron density profiles. The paper presents the comparison study of
the true-height electron density profiles inverted from ionograms using two different methods POLAN (Titheridge, 1985) and
NHPC (Huang and Reinish, 1996; Reinish et al., 2005), widely used by the ionospheric research community. Our results show
significant systematic differences between electron density profiles calculated by these two inversion methods.
