Phase coherence of foreshock MHD waves: wavelet analysis

The earth's foreshock is a region where particularly large amplitude MHD waves are commonly observed. They exhibit various waveforms, suggesting that nonlinear interaction between the waves is in progress. In a previous paper (Hada et al., 2003) we have introduced a method to quantitatively evaluate the strength of phase coherence among the waves from a given time series data. Here we further develop our method by applying wavelet filtering technique. From the analysis it was found that, although the turbulence is consisted of waves with a wide range of plasma rest frame frequencies, only those frequencies lower than the ion gyrofrequency are responsible for generating the phase coherence. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Phase coherence of MHD waves in the solar wind

Large amplitude MHD waves are commonly found in the solar wind. Nonlinear interactions between the MHD waves are likely to produce finite correlation among the wave phases. For discussions of various transport processes of energetic particles, it is fundamentally important to determine whether the wave phases are randomly distributed (as assumed in quasi-linear theories) or they have a finite coherence. Using a method based on a surrogate data technique and a fractal analysis, we analyzed Geotail magnetic field data (provided by S. Kokubun and T. Nagai through DARTS at the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science) to evaluate the phase coherence among the MHD waves in the earth's foreshock region. The correlation of wave phases does exist, indicating that the nonlinear interactions between the waves is in progress. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Progress in space weather predictions and applications

The methods of today’s predictions of space weather and effects are so much more advanced and yesterday’s statistical methods are now replaced by integrated knowledge-based neuro-computing models and MHD methods. Within the ESA Space Weather Programme Study a real-time forecast service has been developed for space weather and effects. This prototype is now being implemented for specific users. Today’s applications are not only so many more but also so much more advanced and user-oriented. A scientist needs real-time predictions of a global index as input for an MHD model calculating the radiation dose for EVAs. A power company system operator needs a prediction of the local value of a geomagnetically induced current. A science tourist needs to know whether or not aurora will occur. Soon we might even be able to predict the tropospheric climate changes and weather caused by the space weather.

信号源失真对波形记录仪动态有效位数评价的影响(英文)

波形记录仪和数据采集系统等设备的动态有效位数评价中,大都假定所用正弦波信号源无任何失真.当信号源具有噪声或谐波失真时,给评价结果将带来多大的影响,尚无确切的结论,这使得对有效位数评价结果无法进行量值溯源.本文从能量守衡角度,阐述了信号源噪声失真对波形记录仪动态有效位数评价结果的影响,同时给出了由输入信号源噪声和谐波失真带来影响的修正关系式,以及在给定误差限度下,信号源失真度选择原则的关系式。

部分开放多极磁场中的日冕磁绳灾变

采用球坐标下二维三分量理想MHD模型，研究部分开放多极背景磁场中日冕磁绳的灾变现象．背景磁场由含3个闭合双极场的冕流和带赤道中性电流片的开放场构成，磁绳位于中心双极场的下方，其特性由环向磁通和轴向磁通表征．对给定的环向磁通，存在轴向磁通的一个临界值；对给定的轴向磁通，也存在环向磁通的一个临界值．在该临界值以下，磁绳附着于太阳表面，系统处于平衡状态；该临界值一旦被超越，磁绳将脱离太阳表面向上喷发，说明部分开放多极背景磁场中的日冕磁绳系统存在灾变现象．本文算例表明，灾变点对应的磁能阈值超过对应部分开放场(中心双极场开放，两侧的双极场仍维持闭合)能量约15％，其超过部分可为日冕物质抛射一类太阳爆发提供能源．
