We present both statistical and case studies of magnetosheath interaction with the high-latitude magnetopause on the basis of Interball-1 and other ISTP spacecraft data. We discuss those data along with recently published results on the topology of cusp-magnetosheath transition and the roles of nonlinear disturbances in mass and energy transfer across the high-latitude magnetopause. For sunward dipole tilts, a cusp throat is magnetically open for direct interaction with the incident flow that results in the creation of a turbulent boundary layer (TBL) over an indented magnetopause and downstream of the cusp. For antisunward tilts, the cusp throat is closed by a smooth magnetopause; demagnetized ‘plasma balls’ (with scale ∼ few RE, an occurrence rate of ∼25% and trapped energetic particles) present a major magnetosheath plasma channel just inside the cusp. The flow interacts with the ‘plasma balls’ via reflected waves, which trigger a chaotization of up to 40% of the upstream kinetic energy. These waves propagate upstream of the TBL and initiate amplification of the existing magnetosheath waves and their cascade-like decays during downstream passage throughout the TBL. The most striking feature of the nonlinear interaction is the appearance of magnetosonic jets, accelerated up to an Alfvenic Mach number of 3. The characteristic impulsive local momentum loss is followed by decelerated Alfvenic flows and modulated by the TBL waves; momentum balance is conserved only on time scales of the Alfvenic flows (1/fA
∼12 min). Wave trains at fA∼1.3 mHz are capable of synchronizing interactions throughout the outer and inner boundary layers. The sonic/Alfvenic flows, bounded by current sheets, control the TBL spectral shape and result in non-Gaussian statistical characteristics of the disturbances, indicating the fluctuation intermittency. We suggest that the multi-scale TBL processes play at least a comparable role to that of macro-reconnection (remote from or in the cusp) in solar wind energy transformation and population of the magnetosphere by the magnetosheath plasma. Secondary micro-reconnection constitutes a necessary chain at the small-scale (∼ion gyroradius) edge of the TBL cascades. The thick TBL transforms the flow energy, including deceleration and heating of the flow in the open throat, ‘plasma ball’ and the region downstream of the cusp. 相似文献

The magnetosphere dynamics shows fast relaxation events following power-law distribution for many observable quantities during magnetic substorms. The emergence of such power-law distributions has been widely discussed in the framework of self-organized criticality and/or turbulence. Here, a different approach to the statistical features of these impulsive dynamical events is proposed in the framework of the thermodynamics of rare events [Lavenda, B.H., Florio, A., 1992. Thermodynamics of rare events, Int. J. Theor. Phys. 31, 1455–1475; Lavenda, B.H., 1995. Thermodynamics of Extremes. Albion]. In detail, an application of such a novel approach to the magnetospheric substorm avalanching dynamics as monitored by the auroral electroject index is discussed. 相似文献

We investigate spatial dislocation ordering of the solar structures associated with supergranulation and granulation scales.
The supergranular and granular structures are automatically segmented from time-distance divergence maps and from broad-band
images, respectively. The spatial dislocation ordering analysis is accomplished by applying the statistical method of Pair
Correlation Function, g
2(r), to segmented features in the solar fields. We compare the computed g
2(r) functions obtained from both single and persistent, i.e., time-averaged, fields associated with supergranulation and granulation.
We conclude that supergranulation and granulation patterns present a different topological order both in single and persistent
fields. The analysis carried out on single fields suggests that the granulation behaves as an essentially random distribution
of soft plasma features with a very broad distribution in size, while supergranulation behaves as a random distribution of
close packed, coherent stiff features with a rather defined mean size. 相似文献

The AE index has two components: one driven by the solar wind and one related to the magnetotail unloading process. We recall some
past findings on this issue and present a new ANN algorithm for the AE forecasting at 5 and 60 min time scales, built by adding to a previous algorithm a further layer with a hyperbolic tangent
transfer function and two more inputs, the output at time t and the difference between the input at time t and the output
at time t - 1. We show that, at the 60 min time scale and for AE > 400 nT, the new algorithm performs better than the former one, while no improvement is obtained at the 5 min time scale.
This result confirms that the AE component driven by the solar wind can be forecast, at least partially, while the unloading component may not be reproduced
from solar wind inputs. 相似文献

We present a preliminary study of the dependence of the statistical features of the soil motion due to seismic noise on the
near-surface geology in the frequency range from 1 Hz to ∼ 40 Hz. In detail, we have investigated the 3D average squared soil
displacement 〈r2〉 and the distribution function of the displacement flctuations at different geological sites. The anomalous scaling of the
average squared soil displacement 〈r2(τ)〉~τα, and the Gaussian shape of the probability distribution function of its fluctuations suggest that the soil motion under the
influence of the seismic noise is consistent with a persistent fractional Brownian motion (fBm) characterized by a scaling
exponent 1.5 < α < 2. Therefore, the seismic noise-field, thought as a stochastic process, shows a markovian character with
a memory longer than a pure Brownian motion (α = 1/2). Moreover, a dependence of such persistent behavior of the noise-field
dynamics on the near-surface local geology has been found and it is discussed. 相似文献
