Summary Acoustic aurora have been heard by long-term residents of the artic. They have also been recorded on microbarographs. Acoustic events associated with aurora are now reported in the near infrasonic range (1–16 Hz) at Barrow, Alaska. These observations were made with the aid of a resonant detector achieving a high signal-to-noise ratio similar to that used in extending the rocket-grenade technique to 109km. Over 100 impulsive events of a quasi-repetitive nature were recorded on a patrol basis during January 1970. Acoustic events were correlated with disturbed magnetic conditions and optical aurora but uncorrelated with lower-frequency auroral microbarograph events at College or Inuvik.
It is hoped that these initial observations will persuade interested parties to a more complete study of this phenomena and encourage an explanation of the generation mechanism for auroral infrasonic waves. 相似文献

The Structure of Atmospheric Turbulence and its Application to the Design of Pipe Arrays 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Summary Turbulent boundary layers at the surface of the Earth limit the detection of infrasonic waves with periods greater than 1 s. Pipe arrays designed to improve the signal-to-noise ratios of infrasonic waves usually assume that the background noise due to this turbulent boundary layer is incoherent between the array inlets. The power at various points on a surface was measured; coherences between these points were determined and they were found to be significant in the period range 1–100 s. Such coherent noise must be considered when pipe arrays are designed. 相似文献

Summary. Certain associated fluctuations in geomagnetic records and infrasonic pressure variations at ground level noted at Hyderabad and Delhi are discussed with the help of simultaneous records taken during 1980. Typical infrasound signals are noted, apparently generated by the magnetic substorms in the auroral zones and travelling down to near tropical latitudes with speeds in the range of 400–500m s-1 . Characteristic signatures in infrasound records, corresponding to SSCs and storm time fluctuations are also noted, but only when substorms are associated with the storms. 相似文献

The auroral data observed by all sky TV camera during 1995 and 1997 at Zhongshan Station of Antarctica are used to analyze the statistic characteristics of the aurora over Zhongshan Station. Around postnoon (1200 - 1600UT ) and midnight (2000 - 0100 UT ), the aurora appears more frequently and stronger than those in evening (1600- 2000UT ). The corona type auroras mainly occur at poleward and overhead of Zhongshan Station during postnoon and around midnight. The hand type auroras mainly appear during postnoon. while during evening and around midnight only appear at equatorward. The active surges mostly appear around midnight,while the transpolar arcs mainly occur after midnight. Except for the transpolar arcs. the occurrences of the other three type auroras are related with Kp index. Usually Zhongshan Station enters the auroral oval at postnoon,the exact time depends on Kp index. 相似文献

Summary Seismic waves caused by earthquakes radiate infrasound into the atmosphere as they proceed over the Earth's surface. Several instances of such sound waves radiated locally by seismic waves passing through the Washington, D.C., area have been observed at the infrasonic station there. A notable instance was the great Montana earthquake of 1959 August 18. Measurements of the radiated infrasound gave data on the seismic waves, including their travel times, local speeds, directions of travel, amplitudes, and waveforms. 相似文献

Summary During the past 10 years the Geoacoustics Group of NOAA's Wave Propagation Laboratory studied travelling low-frequency pressure variations related to thunderstorms and severe weather. Two general categories of waves were associated with severe weather conditions: 'subsonic' pressure disturbances and infrasonic waves with acoustic velocities. The low-frequency pressure variations were measured at the Earth's surface using microphone arrays located at times thousands of kilometres from the severe-weather disturbance. The radiated infra- sound was related to thunderstorms penetrating the tropopause and spectral analyses were performed on several signals. Possible practical applications to storm warning and classification are discussed for both infrasound and 'subsonic' pressure disturbances. Past measurements of these signals are reviewed. 相似文献

Summary Of the waves which propagate in the atmosphere at acoustic velocity in the period range from 10 to 100 s, one type has been classified by triangulation as arising principally from mountainous regions. These signals were first described as 'northwesters' or '310 ers' by the NBS Geoacoustics Group under R. K. Cook at Washington, D.C., from the predominant direction of arrival. Subsequent operation of an observatory at Boulder, Colorado by Vernon Goerke gave a source region by triangulation in the Pacific Northwest, primarily in Montana and Alberta. Installations of observatories at College, Alaska (Wilson) and Pullman, Washington-Moscow, Idaho (Craine and Thomas) enlarged the data base available, and triangulation showed the principal source areas to be along the coast of British Columbia and in the inland Rocky Mountains of the British Columbia-Alberta border. This paper discusses the presently known characteristics of this class of infrasonic waves, locates the triangulation areas, reviews selected events, and suggests that certain of these waves are produced as aerodynamic sound. The paper shows a correlation between the 500 mb jet stream velocity and direction in these mountainous regions, and the detection of these atmospheric pressure waves. 相似文献

The tau– p method of Buland & Chapman (1983) is reformulated for sound waves propagating in a stratified atmosphere under the influence of a height-dependent wind velocity profile. For a given launch angle along a specified azimuth, the ray parameter is redefined to include the influence of the horizontal wind component along the direction of wave propagation. Under the assumption of negligible horizontal wind shear, the horizontal wind component transverse to the ray propagation does not affect the direction of the wave normal, but displaces the reference frame of the moving wavefront, thus altering the observed incidence azimuth. Expressions are derived for the time, horizontal range, and transverse range of the arriving waves as a function of ray parameter. Algorithms for the location of infrasonic wave sources using the modified tau– p formulation in conjunction with regional atmospheric wind and temperature data are discussed. 相似文献

Solitary electrostatic waves with ion acoustic speed were frequently observed by satellites in the auroral acceleration region. In this paper, the nonlinear ion acoustic waves are studied in the plasma which is composed of warm electrons with the Boltzman distribution and cold ions of equal density. The characteristics of solitary-likc structure in the ion acoustic frequency range are derived with the methods of reductive perturbation and phase plane analysis. The results show that nonlinear ion acoustic waves may develop to a symmetric solitary structure which is compressive and no net potential drop when dissipation does not exist, and in the case with dissipation it may evolve to compressive solitary-like structure with asymmetric shape. produce net potential drop and form weak double layer. The above theoretical results are consistent with observations. 相似文献

Using a complete mathematical formulation, we show that the trapping of horizontal P waves in a very soft shallow alluvial layer is a minor effect. These waves do not have a stable way of propagation since in order to exist they require an incident wave and are therefore incapable of resonating in the lateral direction when confined in a basin of limited extent. 相似文献

Intensity variations of the postnoon auroral bright spots observed at Zhongshan Station, Antarctica on August 8, 1999 下载免费PDF全文
下载免费PDF全文 In this paper we use the high speed multi channel meridian scanning photometer data and all sky TV camera images to analyze the intensity variations of the postnoon auroral bright sports of 557.7 nm and 630.0 nm emissions. Several results can be obtained from this paper. (1) Bright spots are rather transient features lasting typically for only a few minutes. (2) The intensity of the postnoon bright spots of 557.7 nm emissions can surpass 11 kR. The occurrence of the bright spots seems rather frequent. (3) The ratios of I(427.8)/I(630.0) and I(427.8)/I(557.7) during the bright spots occurring time show a positive peak and negative peak respectively. It qualitatively indicates that the average precipitating electron energies along the meridianal scan above Zhongshan Station increased as the bright spot appeared. And the intensification of the spot mainly was caused by the increasing of high energy (3 10 keV) flux. (4) Usually the bright spots are accompanied with the magnetic pulsation and the occurrence of multi band arcs. 相似文献

We investigate the particle orbits of long-period (about 20 s) P waves observed with the global seismic network. By analysing 84 three-component seismograms recorded at 25 stations from 60 earthquakes occurring beneath 300 km, we quantitatively evaluate the orbits by three sets of eigenvalues and eigenvectors, using a covariance matrix method. The eigenvalues for P waves recorded at stations located on continents are explained by the standard horizontal layered structure model (iasp91). On the other hand, the orbits observed at stations close to island arcs are affected not only by the horizontal layered structure but also by heterogeneity due to subducting plates, mantle diapirs and so on. On the basis of a single-scattering model for a plane P wave, we quantify the heterogeneities by an isotropic scattering coefficient g0. Fitting the theoretical eigenvalues to the observed ones, we estimate g0 for the crust and upper mantle beneath continents to be less than 0.0005 km-1 , and the mean g0 for the structure beneath island arcs to be about 0.0015 to 0.003 km-1 . 相似文献

麦阔里岛和戴维斯站分别位于极光带中心和极光带极向边缘区内.这两处的极光吸收次数在晚间多些,其中突然性吸收主要出现在午夜(当地地磁时间)前,缓变性吸收在午夜后.极光吸收与太阳的活动性密切相关.太阳风高能粒子主要沉降在极光中心带磁午夜区,然后向东西与南北方向扩散,以向西的电射流为主,向东的为辅.但向西的弱些、速度慢些;向东的强些、速度快些.太阳活动增强后,尤其是强的X耀斑事件后,向西的电射流增多增强.另外,在较高磁纬地区的戴维斯站,冬季时极光吸收增多增强.但在极光中心区的麦阔里岛观测站,基本上无此种季节效应.这可能是由于冬季(对南半球而言)极光卵向南偏移造成的. 相似文献

In order to estimate the dynamic structure of the VLF ionospheric exit point, we conducted multipoint ground-based observation of the natural VLF emissions at three unmanned sites: West Ongul (69°01′ S, 39°30′ E), Skallen (69°40′ S, 39°24′ E), and H100 (69°18′ S, 41°19′ E) around Japanese Syowa station, Antarctica, during a whole year of 2006. In this observation, we developed three sets of unmanned autonomous observation systems for natural VLF emissions. Each observation system consists of two crossed vertical loop antennas to pick-up North–South (NS) and East–West (EW) magnetic components, a multi-channel analyzer, and a data logger. The intensity and polarization of NS and EW magnetic components are obtained in 4 spaced frequency (0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 6.0 kHz) channels by the multi-channel analyzer.The VLF emissions observed at the three sites exhibit an interesting difference in the wave intensity as well as the polarization that allows important information about the locations of their ionospheric exit point to be determined. Firstly, to find the distinct exit point, we have theoretically calculated the spatial distributions of the wave intensity and the polarization on the Earth for VLF whistler mode waves coming down from the magnetized ionosphere, by using the full-wave analysis. Then, we have compared the calculated results with the observed data, to evaluate the possible locations of the ionospheric exit point for the auroral hiss events.As an example, the direction of the estimated ionospheric exit point for the auroral hiss event at 31 March 2006 was found to be consistent with a bright aurora region. However, in this case, the estimated ionospheric exit point was located a few hundred kilometers equatorward of the associated aurora. This would suggest that the ray paths for the auroral hiss could be different from the directions of the geomagnetic field lines for auroral precipitation. 相似文献

Summary. The reflection and refraction of general (homogeneous or inhomo-geneous) plane P and type-I S ( SV ) body waves incident on plane boundaries are considered for general linear viscoelastic solids. Reflection—refraction laws, physical characteristics of the waves, and the nature of critical angles are examined in detail at welded boundaries and a free surface. General visco-elasticity with no low-loss approximations predicts that contrasts in intrinsic absorption at boundaries give rise to inhomogeneous reflected and refracted waves with elliptical particle motions, velocities and maximum attenuations that vary with frequency and angle of incidence, energy propagation at speeds and directions different from phase propagation, phase propagation that in general is parallel to the boundary for at most one angle of incidence, and reflection—transmission coefficients dependent on energy flow due to wave interaction. None of these physical characteristics are predicted for waves incident on boundaries that respond instantaneously. 相似文献
