Measuring magnetic field in the 'diamagnetic' ionosphere     

F. J. Lowes 《Geophysical Journal International》2007,171(1):115-118

Satellite magnetometers sometimes pass through regions of plasma, such as the terrestrial ionosphere, where the ionization is large enough that some of the original ambient field is excluded from the plasma. This reduction of field inside the plasma region comes from the 'diamagnetic' effect of the charged particles in their helical trajectory around the magnetic field lines. The (container of the) magnetometer will exclude the plasma, and a simple-minded approach, treating the ionosphere in the same way as for a conventional diamagnetic fluid, predicts that the field seen by the magnetometer will be somewhat larger than the (reduced) field in the plasma. However, the 'diamagnetic' properties of the ionosphere are quite different from those of a conventional diamagnetic. In particular, there is a 'reflection' of the ionospheric charged particles at the surface of the magnetometer, and the overall effect is that the magnetometer does actually measure the field present in the plasma before the magnetometer is inserted. Similarly, any leakage fields from the magnetometer have no effect in the magnetosphere.  相似文献   

低纬高原冰雹与暴雨对比分析     

张秀年  曹杰  段旭 《云南地理环境研究》2007,19(6):7-12

通过对低纬高原地区多个冰雹和暴雨个例的多方面的对比分析,发现冰雹和暴雨的发生在大气环境背景、大气层结、大气不稳定性及云图特征上既有一些相似之处,也存在一些明显的区别.研究发现,发生冰雹时,中纬度低槽较偏南,受北方天气系统影响明显;发生暴雨时,受热带系统影响明显,中纬度低槽稍偏北.在冰雹发生前,大气中层较干、低层较湿,但层结仍为较稳定的状态;在暴雨发生前,大气中、低层均较湿,层结为弱稳定状态.冰雹的发生要求下层大气气温相对较低,以使雹粒在溶化之前可到达地面,而暴雨的发生要求大气富含水汽.冰雹以冬春多见,夏季较少;暴雨以夏季较多,而冬春较少.与此对应,产生暴雨的强对流其对流强度要强于产生冰雹的,但对于同一季节发生的冰雹和暴雨,两者的对流强度是相近的.  相似文献

Bootstrapped discrete scale invariance analysis of geomagnetic dipole intensity     

Art R. T. Jonkers 《Geophysical Journal International》2007,169(2):646-658

The technique of bootstrapped discrete scale invariance allows multiple time-series of different observables to be normalized in terms of observed and predicted characteristic timescales. A case study is presented using the SINT2000 time-series of virtual axial dipole moment, which spans the past 2 Myr. It is shown that this sequence not only bears a clear signature of a preferred timescale of about 55.6 Ka, but additionally predicts similar features (of shorter and longer duration) that are actually observed on the timescales of historical secular variation and dipole reversals, respectively. In turn, the latter two empirical sources both predict the characteristic timescale found in the dipole intensity sequence. These communal scaling characteristics suggest that a single underlying process could be driving dynamo fluctuations across all three observed timescales, from years to millions of years.  相似文献   

Ionospheric effetcs of an intense geomagnetic storm     

G. A. Mansilla 《Studia Geophysica et Geodaetica》2007,51(4):563-574

An investigation of the response of the mid-high, mid and low latitude critical frequency foF2 to the geomagnetic storm of 15 July 2000 is made. Ground-based hourly foF2 values (proportional to square root of peak electron density of F2-layer) from four chains of ionospheric stations located in the geographic longitude ranges 10°W–35°E, 60°E–120°E, 130°E–170°E, 250°E–295°E are used. Relative deviations of foF2 are considered. The main ionospheric effects for the considered storm are: long-duration negative disturbances at mid-high latitudes in summer hemisphere in sectors where the storm onset occurred in the afternoon/night-time hours; short-duration positive disturbances in the summer hemisphere at mid-high latitudes in the pre-sunset hours during the end of main phase-first stage of the recovery; small and irregular negative disturbances in the low latitude winter hemisphere which predominate during the main phase and first part of the recovery, and positive disturbances in both hemispheres at mid-high and mid latitudes prior to the storm onset irrespective of the local time. In addition, the validity of some physical mechanisms proposed to explain the F2 region behaviour during disturbed conditions is considered. gus-mansilla@hotmail.com  相似文献   

The structure of the mid- and high-latitude ionosphere during the November 2004 storm event obtained from GPS observations   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：1

GPS data from the International GNSS Service (IGS) network were used to study the development of the severe geomagnetic storm of November 7–12, 2004, in the total electron content (TEC) on a global scale. The TEC maps were produced for analyzing the storm. For producing the maps over European and North American sectors, GPS measurements from more than 100 stations were used. The dense network of GPS stations provided TEC measurements with a high temporal and spatial resolution. To present the temporal and spatial variation of TEC during the storm, differential TEC maps relative to a quiet day (November 6, 2004) were created. The features of geomagnetic storm attributed to the complex development of ionospheric storm depend on latitude, longitude and local time. The positive, as well as negative effects were detected in TEC variations as a consequence of the evolution of the geomagnetic storm. The maximal effect was registered in the subauroral/auroral ionosphere during substorm activity in the evening and night period. The latitudinal profiles obtained from TEC maps for Europe gave rise to the storm-time dynamic of the ionospheric trough, which was detected on November 7 and 9 at latitudes below 50°N. In the report, features of the response of TEC to the storm for European and North American sectors are analyzed.  相似文献   

关于地球磁场极性反转机制的思索     

杨合群 《西北地质》2002,35(3):126-130

地球磁场极性在地质历史中发生过相当频繁的倒转。作者将地球内部划分为岩石圈－软流圈－中圈－液圈－固核等5个动力学圈层，认为中圈与固核间可异步旋转；地球偶极磁场由中圈与固核异步旋转时所驱动的液圈中的封闭涡流与系磁场作用产生；该偶极子场极性由地球所通过的银道面上侧或下侧磁场方向及液圈涡流的方向共同决定，二者之一反向，极性发生倒转。  相似文献
