Parker’s two-dimensional (2D) dynamo model with an algebraic form of nonlinearity for the α-effect is considered. The model uses geostrophic distributions for the α-effect and differential rotation, which are derived from the three-dimensional (3D) convection models. The resulting configurations of the magnetic field in the liquid core are close to the solutions in Braginsky’s Z-model. The implications of the degree of geostrophy observed in the 3D dynamo models for the behavior of the mean magnetic field are explored. It is shown that the reduction in geostrophy leads to magnetic field reversals accompanied by the relative growth of the nondipole component of the field on the surface of the liquid core. The simulations with a random α-effect which causes turbulent pulsations are carried out. The approach is capable of producing realistic sequences of magnetic reversals. 相似文献

Summary The harmonically variable magnetic field, generated by a tangential magnetic dipole (TMD), located eccentrically at the surface of the Earth's core, is investigated for various periods of time variations and for a three-layer conductivity model of the Earth. Numerical computations have shown that the field is inductively damped for variation periods of less than 500 years as compared to the field of a static TMD. It is proved that the field appropriate to the TMD, has a more complicated distribution of the Earth's surface than the field of a radial magnetic dipole. Comparison with maps of the non-dipole part of the geomagnetic field shows that the TMD is not as suitable for interpreting the observed non-dipole field and its variations as the eccentric radial magnetic dipole. 相似文献

在国际参考地磁场（IGRF）模型中，高阶球谐系数比低阶系数小得多，所以高阶项对主磁场的贡献常被忽略不计. 但是，高阶项对主磁场的长期变化却有重大影响. 本文根据第八代IGRF模型，分析了IGRF 1945～1955中高阶球谐系数的异常特征对长期变化的影响，然后用修正IGRF模型估计并改正了这些影响. IGRF高阶项随深度增加而迅速增大，所以高阶系数的误差对深部磁场位形和磁场能量的计算有不可忽视的影响，对核幔界面流动状态的推断和地核半径的地磁估计有更为重大的影响. 相似文献

Satellite-data allows the magnetic field produced by the dynamo within the Earth’s core to be imaged with much more accuracy than previously possible with only ground-based data. Changes in this magnetic field can in turn be used to make some inferences about the core surface flow responsible for them. In this paper, we investigate the improvement brought to core flow computation by new satellite-data based core magnetic field models. It is shown that the main limitation now encountered is no longer the (now high) accuracy of those models, but the “non-modelled secular variation” produced by interaction of the non-resolvable small scales of the core flow with the core field, and by interaction of the (partly) resolvable large scales of the core flow with the small scales of the core field unfortunately masked by the crustal field. We show how this non-modelled secular variation can be taken into account to recover the largest scales of the core flow in a consistent way. We also investigate the uncertainties this introduces in core flows computed with the help of the frozen-flux and tangentially geostrophic assumptions. It turns out that flows with much more medium and small scales than previously thought are needed to explain the satellite-data-based core magnetic field models. It also turns out that a significant fraction of this flow unfortunately happens to be non-recoverable (being either “non-resolvable” because too small-scale, or “invisible”, because in the kernel of the inverse method) even though it produces the detectable “non-modelled secular variation”. Applying this to the Magsat (1980) to Ørsted (2000) field changes leads us to conclude that a flow involving at least strong retrograde vortices below the Atlantic Hemisphere, some less-resolved prograde vortices below the Pacific Hemisphere, and some poorly resolved (and partly non-resolvable) polar vortices, is needed to explain the 1980-2000 satellite-era average secular variation. The characteristics of the fraction of the secular variation left unexplained by this flow are also discussed. 相似文献

The flow structure induced by thermal convection in a rotating spherical shell with viscous boundary conditions is considered under the assumption that the differential rotation of the core relative to the mantle is absent. The radial, azimuthal, and meridional components of the flow’s velocity and helicity are studied. With the magnetic field assumed to be frozen into a liquid (frozen-flux hypothesis), it is shown that the numerical results fit the observations of the geomagnetic field variations close to the pole. 相似文献

The question of what exactly happens with the geodynamo process during the reversal of a geomagnetic field is studied in a simple geodynamo model. The geodynamo action is described by the so called dynamo number characterizing the joint action of the main drivers of the geomagnetic field, i.e., the differential rotation and mirror–asymmetric convection. In mirror-asymmetric convection, for instance, in the northern hemisphere, there are more right vortices than left vortices, whereas in the southern hemisphere, there are more left vortices than right vortices. The effect of the magnetic field on the flow is described by the suppression of the mirror asymmetry: due to this suppression, e.g., in the northern hemisphere, the excess of right vortices over left vortices decreases. It is also assumed that due to this suppression, the mirror asymmetry can change its sign; i.e., the number of left vortices in the northern hemisphere can become larger than the number of right vortices. Correspondingly, the dynamo number can also change its sign. It is shown that the short-term changes of the sign of the dynamo number are responsible for the very short time span accommodating the reversal, when compared to the interval between the reversals. 相似文献

Abstract It is demonstrated that the steady tangential velocity vs at the closed surface δK of a perfect fluid conductor bounded by a rigid, impenetrable exterior can be uniquely determined from knowledge of the normal component of the time varying magnetic flux density B n, on δK. In the context of a simple earth model consisting of an electrically insulating mantle surrounding a perfectly conducting core, the assumption of steady flow provides enough extra information to eliminate the toroidal ambiguity in B nv and to allow derivation of a unique, global flow at the top of the core from a model of the geomagnetic field. 相似文献

It has been indicated that the spectrum of electrostatic waves in the ionospheric plasma depends on the geophysical conditions
and solar wind parameters. The wave field measurements in the frequency band 0.1–10 MHz in the topside ionosphere were used
to analyze the electrostatic instabilities of the plasma electron content (the APEX satellite experiment). A change of the
sign of one magnetic field component at the geomagnetic equator can result in the formation of the large-scale irregular plasma
structure with a decay of the natural electrostatic oscillations and vortices in unstable plasma. The plasma particle polarization
drift from the region of decay of electrostatic oscillations and vortices can cause large plasma density and temperature gradients
across the geomagnetic field. New vortices can originate at these gradients. This mechanism of plasma vortex formation and
decay can be important for mass and energy convection in the topside ionosphere. 相似文献

Variations in geomagnetic field data at different spectral frequencies and with different periods are observed during increased geomagnetic activity. The formed local structures depend on the field disturbance and contain information on the magnetic storm intensity and character of development. Numerical solutions and algorithms based on wavelet transforms, which make it possible to “automatically” detect periods of increased geomagnetic activity and identify and analyze the structures forming this process, have been proposed in order to study the time characteristics of geomagnetic field variations, using the H component as an example. The separated components, characterizing disturbances, make it possible to estimate variations in the field energy characteristics. An analysis of the constructed wavelet images makes it possible to trace the dynamics of variations in the H component the day before and during a magnetic storm. 相似文献

A vortex structure renders additional stability to plasma irregularities stretched along magnetic field lines. Plasma irregularities extended over several tens of kilometers are registered with rocket and satellite equipment in the topside ionosphere. The registered scale of irregularities depends on the spatial and time resolution of the equipment used. Irregular structures were registered in the ionosphere during experiments with barium clouds and jets, when a plasma irregularity separated into strata extended over several meters and several kilometers across the geomagnetic field. It has been indicated that plasma vortices can be generated in an unstable plasma in a situation when its quasi-neutrality is disturbed. Local geomagnetic field disturbances will be caused by the appearance of a proper vortex magnetic field. Plasma vortices can interact in an inhomogeneous plasma with an unstable electron component. Such interactions are related to the transformation of the phase volume of free electrostatic oscillations in the frequency-wave vector space. 相似文献

Abstract The interaction of a mean flow with a random fluctuation field is considered. This interaction is described by the averaged Navier-Stokes equation in which terms nonlinear in the fluctuation field are expressed in terms of the mean flow and the statistical properties of the fluctuation field, which is assumed to be homogeneous, isotropic, and helical. Averaged equations are derived using a functional technique. These equations are solved for a mean background flow that depends linearly on the position vector. The solutions show that large-scale vortices may arise in this system. 相似文献

A multi-layered kinematic dynamo model: implications of a stratified upper layer in the Earth's core
It has been suggested that there exists a stably stratified electrically conducting layer at the top of the Earth's outer fluid core and that lateral temperature gradients in the lower mantle is capable of a driving thermal-wind-type flow near the core–mantle boundary. We investigate how such a flow in a stable layer could influence the geomagnetic field and the geodynamo using a very simple two-dimensional kinematic dynamo model in Cartesian geometry. The dynamo has four layers representing the inner core, convecting lower outer core, stable upper core, and insulating mantle. An α2 dynamo operates in the convecting outer core and a horizontal shear flow is imposed in the stable layer. Exact dynamo solutions are obtained for a range of parameters, including different conductivities for the stable layer and inner core. This allows us to connect our solutions with known, simpler solutions of a single-layer α2 dynamo, and thereby assess the effects of the extra layers. We confirm earlier results that a stable, static layer can enhance dynamo action. We find that shear flows produce dynamo wave solutions with a different spatial structure from the steady α2 dynamos solutions. The stable layer controls the behavior of the dynamo system through the interface conditions, providing a new means whereby lateral variations on the boundary can influence the geomagnetic field. 相似文献

The geomagnetic field and secular variation exhibit asymmetrical spatial features which are possibly originating from an heterogeneous thermal control of the Earth's lower mantle on the core. The identification of this control in magnetic data is subject to several difficulties, some of which can be alleviated by the use of core surface flow models. Using numerical dynamos driven by heterogeneous boundary heat flux, we confirm that within the parameter space accessible to simulations, time average surface flows obey a simple thermal wind equilibrium between the Coriolis and buoyancy forces, the Lorentz, inertial and viscous forces playing only a secondary role, even for Elsasser numbers significantly larger than 1. Furthermore, we average the models over the duration of three vortex turnovers, and correlate them with a longer time average which fully reveals the signature of boundary heterogeneity. This allows us to quantify the possibility of observing mantle control in core surface flows averaged over a short time period. A scaling analysis is performed in order to apply the results to the Earth's core. We find that three vortex turnovers could represent between 100 and 360 years of Earth time, and that the heat flux heterogeneity at the core-mantle boundary could be large enough to yield an observable signature of thermal mantle control in a time average core surface flow within reach of the available geomagnetic data. 相似文献

The large-scale harmonic magnetic-convective sources of the main geomagnetic field in the Earth’s core have been determined
for the first time. The determination is based on a complete system of eigenfunctions of the magnetic diffusion equation in
a homogeneously conducting sphere, which is surrounded by an insulator. The sources of the main geomagnetic field observed,
which is responsible for the distribution of the electric currents generating this field in the core, are expressed in terms
of large-scale eigenfunctions. In this case, the dipole sources are directly related to the observed geomagnetic dipole, whereas
the quadrupole sources are related to the quadrupole, etc. The time variations in the obtained sources are responsible for
individual spatiotemporal features in the generation or suppression of each Gaussian component of the observed geomagnetic
field. When the commonly accepted observational international geomagnetic reference field (IGRF) models were used to partially
reveal these time variations, it became possible to specify the estimate of the Earth’s core conductivity and determine the
minimum period that can separate us from the commencement of further inversion or excursion. 相似文献

Superchrons – long periods in the geomagnetic record when the Earth's magnetic field did not reverse its polarity – are a challenge to observers and theorists. Jack Jacobs outlines the problems and some possible solutions.
Reversals of polarity are a feature of the geomagnetic record for all the time it has been documented. Although not regular, reversals are sufficiently frequent for their absence to be noticeable. When the Earth's magnetic field retains the same polarity for over 20 million years, a superchron is established. Superchrons demand the attention of geophysicists concerned with the generation of the Earth's field: either they must result from an intrinsic feature of the geodynamo, or they reflect the influence of some external force. Here I discuss internal and external mechanisms for the formation of superchrons, including the role of the inner core, true polar wander, Earth's orbital variations and tides. 相似文献

We investigate the temporal evolution of the magnetic dipole field intensity of the Earth through a multiscale dynamo mechanism. On a large range of spatio-temporal scales, the helical motions of the fluid flow are given by a schematic model of a fully developed turbulence. The system construction is symmetric with respect to left-handed and right-handed cyclones. The multiscale cyclonic turbulence coupled with a differential rotation (schematic ω dynamo) or alone (schematic 2 dynamo) is the ingredient of the loop through which poloidal and toroidal fields are built from one another. Two kinds of reaction of the magnetic field on the flow are considered: the presence of a magnetic field first favours a larger-scale organization of the flow, and, second, impedes this flow by the effect of growing Lorentz forces. We obtain the general features of the geomagnetic field intensity observed over geological times and describe a general mechanism for reversals, excursions and secular variation. The mechanism happens to keep a memory during the chrons and loose it during the events (excursions and inversions). 相似文献
