一种数字电离层测高仪系统中O波与X波的分离方法

电离层测高仪系统中,O波与X波的分离非常重要.本文提出一种新的O波与X波分离的实现方法,根据电离层回波的极化特性,通过在接收电路上采用数字方法合成圆极化波的方式,实现了对O波与X波的有效分离.与现有DPS-4测高仪系统采用模拟域电信号合成圆极化波的方法相比,本文方法通过在数字下变频处理过程中引入±90°相移,消除了在模拟域电信号合成方法中相移器的带宽限制和非线性问题.另外,该方法在实现发射和接收信号的极化状态转换时不需要连续切换多个模拟开关,从而提高了整个系统的稳定性.

夜间135.6 nm气辉反演的电离层f0F2与测高仪观测比较研究

在夜间电离层,气辉135.6 nm谱线主要由F层的O+和电子的辐射复合过程以及O+和O–的中性复合过程激发,该谱线强度和电离层峰值电子密度N_mF₂存在很强的相关性。利用夜气辉135.6 nm辐射强度与F₂层峰值电子密度N_mF₂的平方成正比的物理模型,建立了在不同经纬度、地方时、季节和太阳活动下均适用的反演算法。通过DMSP卫星上搭载的紫外光谱成像仪（SSUSI）实际观测的135.6 nm气辉辐射强度来反演相应时空的电离层F₂层临界频率f₀F₂,并将其与地基测高仪探测结果做了综合对比。结果表明,在太阳活动高年（2013年）,相对误差小于等于20%的数据占比93.0%,平均相对误差约为7.08%;在太阳活动低年（2017年）,相对误差小于等于20%的数据占比80.8%,平均相对误差约为12.64%。最后,对该算法在太阳活动高低年的反演精度差异进行了分析。      

中国上空夜间电离层等离子体泡群演化过程的多设备观测

利用子午工程富克站（19.5°N, 109.1°E）全天空气辉成像仪、VHF雷达、三亚站（18.4°N, 109.6°E）数字测高仪及C/NOFS卫星观测数据,对2014年3月30日中国上空的等离子体泡进行了研究。结果表明,当天夜间观测到一个等离子体泡群,约由9个等离子体泡组成,发生在日落后,一直持续到午夜后。其自西向东运动,南北向最大尺度超过1200 km,东西向绵延超过1400 km,在演化中部分结构融合在一起。等离子体泡被气辉成像仪观测到的同时,数字测高仪及VHF雷达观测到了相应扩展F及羽毛状不规则结构。同时,C/NOFS卫星检测到相应电子密度耗散。这表明,该等离子体泡同时被地基光学观测、无线电探测及C/NOFS卫星观测到。研究结果给出了多仪器同时观测到的等离子体泡群演化过程,丰富了多仪器融合研究电离层不规则体的内容。     

低纬电离层等离子体块相关等离子体泡演化期间的虚高变化

针对东亚地区地磁低纬度南北半球Vanimo台站（地理2.7°S,141.3°E;地磁 11.2°S,146.2°W）和海南台站（地理19.5°N,109.1°E;地磁9.1°N,179.1°W）上空的3个电离层等离子体块与等离子体泡相关联的事件,利用地面台站的电离层测高仪连续观测数据,研究等离子体泡演化期间的电离层虚高变化。结果表明：以往提出的等离子体块出现约2 h之前等离子体垂直漂移速度从向上（东向电场）转为向下（西向电场）的观点,本文的3个事例均与之不符,或者距反转时间很远（约6 h）,或者由向下转为向上。在等离子体块形成时间点前的1 h内,均有突发的等离子体堆积的运动趋势,或是下降运动速度突然变慢,或是从下降转为向上运动,或是上升运动速度突然加快。这一堆积现象与等离子体块现象相关性更好,也不仅限于漂移速度从向上转变为向下。

     

基于多仪器观测的中国中纬区域MSTID长距离传播事件研究

电离层等离子体不规则结构通常会影响星地卫星的通信、导航及定位等,因此研究不规则体的结构特征和演化过程具有非常重要的科学意义和应用价值。中尺度电离层行进式扰动（MSTID）是一种常发于F层的电离层扰动,其演化过程十分复杂。本文利用伊春和兴隆台站全天空气辉成像仪、Swarm卫星、佳木斯高频雷达以及漠河和十三陵台站数字测高仪观测数据,对2018年10月17日夜间出现在中国东北区域上空的MSTID事件进行分析。该MSTID事件传播时间较长,在气辉观测中持续时间超过4 h（12:02－16:23 UT）,其波长范围为176.3～322.5 km,波速范围为67.0～154.1 m·s^–1。研究结果显示,该MSTID可能产生于较高的纬度,自东北向西南往中纬传播,依次经过伊春和兴隆台站的气辉观测区域。     

Investigation into impact of tropical cyclones on the ionosphere using GPS sounding and NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis data

Ionospheric response to tropical cyclones (TCs) was estimated experimentally on the example of three powerful cyclones – KATRINA (23–31 August 2005), RITA (18–26 September 2005), and WILMA (15–25 October 2005). These TCs were active near the USA Atlantic coast. Investigation was based on Total Electron Content (TEC) data from the international network of two-frequency ground-based GPS receivers and the NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis data. We studied the spatial–temporal dynamics of wave TEC disturbances over two periods of ranges (02–20 min and 20–60 min). To select the ionospheric disturbances which were most likely to be associated with the cyclones, maps of TEC disturbances were compared with those of meteorological parameters.

Study of the ionosphere during a magnetospheric storm using data on the ground and in space

For the magnetospheric storm of May 14–16, 1997 geophysical data of satellites DMSP and IMP-8 are compared with data of radio propagation on the high-latitude HF radio path of Heiss Island – St. Petersburg and data from European ionosondes. Peculiarities of variations of the operational frequencies range MOF–LOF (maximum and lowest observed frequencies) on the path were considered. The range has been determined by the method of oblique ionospheric sounding (OIS). The latter is more informative for observations during a magnetic storm compared to the vertical sounding method. Nevertheless, an analysis of variations of the critical frequency of the ionospheric F2 layer from the chain of European ionosondes was carried out. For interpretation of results, data of magnetospheric parameters, AE-indexes and riometer data were used. The variations of both frequency range on the path and critical frequencies of the F2 layer through the ionosondes chain during the disturbed period had certain regularities of behaviour. These regularities are being explained from the physical point of view. The analysis of the satellite DMSP data has showed that a magnetospheric disturbance causes displacement equatorward of precipitation and some growth of its width and energy.

Case studies of height structure of TID propagation characteristics using cross-correlation analysis of incoherent scatter radar and DPS-4 ionosonde data

The height structure of TID characteristics is studied on the base of the electron density profiles measured by two beams of the incoherent scatter radar and DPS-4 ionosonde. The height profiles of the TID propagation characteristics are obtained by means of cross-correlation and spectrum analysis of the radar and ionosonde data. The noticeable height variability of the TID parameters is observed. The variability is explained by interference of several TIDs. The obtained TID propagation characteristics are compared with known results of the TID studies.     

Performance evaluation of IRI-2007 at equatorial latitudes and its Matlab version for GNSS applications

International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) model is the widely used empirical model for ionospheric predictions, especially TEC which is an important parameter for radio navigation and communication. The Fortran based IRI-2007 does not support real-time interactive visualization and debugging. Therefore, the source code is converted into Matlab and is validated for the purposes of this study. This facilitates easy representation of results and for near real-time implementation of IRI in the applications including spacecraft launching, now casting, pseudolite based navigation systems etc. In addition, the vertical delay results over the equatorial region derived from IRI and GPS data of three IGS stations namely Libreville (Garbon, Africa), Brasilia (Brazil, South America) and Hyderabad (India, Asia) are compared. As the IRI model does not account for plasmasphere TEC, the vertical delays are underestimated compared to vertical delays of GPS signals. Therefore, the model should be modified accordingly for precise TEC estimation.

Global characteristics of ionospheric electric fields and disturbances during the first hours of magnetic storms

The ionospheric plasma density can be significantly disturbed during magnetic storms. In the conventional scenario of ionospheric storms, the negative storm phases with plasma density decreases are caused by neutral composition changes, and the positive storm phases with plasma density increases are often related to atmospheric gravity waves. However, recent studies show that the global redistribution of the ionospheric plasma is dominated primarily by electric fields during the first hours of magnetic storms. In this paper, we present the measurements of ionospheric disturbances by the DMSP satellites and GPS network during the magnetic storm on 6 April 2000. The DMSP measurements include the F region ion velocity and density at the altitude of ∼840 km, and the GPS receiver network provides total electron content (TEC) measurements. The storm-time ionospheric disturbances show the following characteristics. The plasma density is deeply depleted in a latitudinal range of ∼20° over the equatorial region in the evening sector, and the depletions represent plasma bubbles. The ionospheric plasma density at middle latitudes (20°–40° magnetic latitudes) is significantly increased. The dayside TEC is increased simultaneously over a large latitudinal range. An enhanced TEC band forms in the afternoon sector, goes through the cusp region, and enters the polar cap. All the observed ionospheric disturbances occur within 1–5 h from the storm sudden commencement. The observations suggest that penetration electric fields play a major role in the rapid generation of equatorial plasma bubbles and the simultaneous increases of the dayside TEC within the first 2 h during the storm main phase. The ionospheric disturbances at later times may be caused by the combination of penetration electric fields and neutral wind dynamo process.
