极区中层惯性重力波的VHF雷达观测

本文采用ＳＯＵＳＹＶＨＦ雷达１９８７年６月在挪威Ａｎｄｏｐｖａ（６９°Ｎ，１０°Ｅ）的观测数据，研究中层惯性重力波的传播特征．几个周期为数小时的准单色波例子，在垂直方向上有确定的相位移动，表明它们是惯性内重力波．通过分析波相关的流体速度东向和北向分量的变化，获得水平传播矢量的大小和方向，它们与中层高度上典型的观测值一致．同时还观察到三个等相面上行的惯性重力波，其速度偏振椭圆是逆时针旋转的．波相关的扰动速度为１５－４０ｍ／ｓ，说明在中层存在强烈的向下的能量传输．估算出它的运动学参量，周期为数小时，垂直相速度在０．ｌ—０．６ｍ／ｓ之间，垂直波长约为６．０ｋｍ．     

极区中层惯性重力波临界层的VHF雷达观测

本文采用移动式ＳＯＵＳＹＶＨＦ雷达１９８７年６月在挪威Ａｎｄφｙａ（６９°Ｎ，１０°Ｅ）的观测数据，研究中层惯性重力波在临界层的传播特征．数据分析结果表明，在临界层附近波动会突然衰减，波能量被背景风所吸收，惯性重力波的水平传播方向和垂直传播方向在通过临界层后会迅速发生改变，说明临界层附近会产生向下传播的能量源．并且在临界层，回波强度达到峰值，表明临界层对产生雷达回波起着重要作用．     

重力波波包在真实大气中传播特性的数值研究

采用二维全隐欧拉（FICE）格式，对重力波波包在真实大气中的非线性传播和演变过程进行了数值模拟，模拟结果表明，在中层大气下部激发的向上传播的重力波波包在传播到中层顶之前，波相关能量沿着射线路径传播，非线性效应和背景温场对波能量传播路径的影响很小，当波包传播到低热层大气后，波包饱和波相关能量几乎完全沿着水平方向传播，垂直方向的能量传播受到抑制，这与在无耗大气下，WKB近似条件下的线性重力波理论的预言相差很大，深入的分析表明抑制重力波波包向上传输能量的关键因素是大气分子粘性的垂直非均匀性。非线性和背景温场的影响不足以完全抑制波能量的向上传播，此外，在波包的整个传播过程中，由于非线性，背景温度和背景耗散的共同作用，重力波波包的垂直波长随时间明显减小，这些结果说明大气的分子粘性特别是分子粘性的垂直不均匀性对重力波波包在中、高层大气的非线性传播过程起着重要作用。     

一种全天空气辉成像仪数据预处理方法和初步结果

大气重力波是大气中的基本波动形式之一,在中高层大气动力和热力学过程中起着十分重要的作用.全天空气辉成像仪是一种以大气气辉辐射为示踪物,能够有效对大气重力波成像的仪器.本文针对中国科学院国家空间科学中心空间天气学国家重点实验室中高层大气组自主研制的全天空气辉成像仪所观测的数据,提出了一种气辉图像预处理方法,进行平场校正、方位校正、星光去除和坐标映射等数据订正.利用该方法处理2015年5月17日21:00BLT至次日05:00BLT西宁台站（36.6°N,101.7°E）的OH气辉数据,发现一次重力波事件,分析并获得了该重力波的水平波长、观测水平相速度和传播方向（分别为17.72km,47m·s-1,339°）.研究结果表明该方法是可行的.      

夏季极区中层大气运动功率谱分析

本文分析了１９８７年６月２３日至２９日ＭＡＣ／ＳＩＮＥ国际联合观测期间ＳＯＵＳＹＶＨＦ雷达在Ａｎｄφｙａ探测中层大气风场起伏的功率谱．结果显示，垂直速度谱与重力波谱理论有较大差异．引入背景风场Ｄｏｐｐｌｅｒ漂移并不能完全解释垂直运动谱与重力波谱理论的偏差，背景风场的影响明显小于理论预测的结果，说明大气运动功率谱成分中除了重力波外可能还有其它因素．     

2009年1月5日廊坊OH气辉观测图像的谱分析

2009年1月5日在中国河北省廊坊市韩村镇(39.4°N,116.6°E)进行了中国首次中间层顶大气重力波成像观测实验,记录了近4 h的OH气辉辐射数据,给出了依据该数据计算所得的该时间段内廊坊韩村附近水平方向约185 km范围内的中间层顶OH气辉扰动的谱分析结果.所得到的传播方向确定的二维功率谱和角度谱揭示了该时间段内重力波活动的波长和传播方向分布特点,表明波长下限较短,西向传播分量明显大于东向分量.     

双变量波状扰动激发重力波波包的数值研究

采用谱配置方法对双变量波状扰动激发重力波的过程及其能量传播和转换特性进行数值研究．模拟结果表明，当初始给定的两个变量的波状扰动的相对振幅和相位严格满足重力波的偏振关系时，只有水平风场扰动(u′)与温度扰动(7′)的共同作用才能抑制能量向下传输．通常情况下，两个变量的波状扰动都会激发出两文传播方向相反的重力波波包，这两支波包的相对能量明显取决于两个波状扰动之间的相对振幅关系．当两个扰动之间的相对振幅满足特定条件时，向下传播的能量几乎为零，只会有一支向上传播的重力波波包被激发．进一步的数值分析则表明，各种情况下两个变量的波状扰动所激发的重力波波包的能量传播路径和速度基本相同；与单变量波状扰动激发重力波波包的过程相比，能量传播路径几乎完全一致，扰动转化为波动的特征时间也基本相同，但能量转换效率更高．     

武汉上空惯性重力波活动

利用武汉中心气象台(30.5°N,114.4°E)无线电探空仪在2001年1月到2003年12月之间的观测数据,研究了武汉上空1-9km和14-25km高度范围内惯性重力波参数的变化特征.数据分析结果表明,重力波活动存在明显的季节变化,冬季较频繁,夏季活动较弱,与急流强度的季节变化一致,这意味着重力波的激发与背景风密切相关.矢端曲线分析显示1-9km范围内能量向上传播和向下传播的波的比例大致相同,而14-25km范围内绝大部分波能量向上传播,这与最大急流强度的高度相对应;进一步分析表明,夏天14-25km范围内波几乎全向上传播,而冬天则有相当一部分波向下传播,这可能是反射引起的.重力波的本征频率集中在1-3倍的惯性频率之间,水平波长约数百公里;1-9 km范围内垂直波长集中在3-3.5 km,14-25 km高度内则集中在4.5-5.5 km.      

Adelaide地区大气重力波的气辉观测

利用澳大利亚Adelaide(34.5°S,138.5°E)地区7年(1995-2001年)的OH和OI气辉观测数据,以及同地区中频雷达所测背景风场数据,通过最大熵谱分析方法,统计分析了该地区大尺度重力波的传播特性.结果表明,(1)在中层顶气辉观测区,利用OH气辉探测到48个重力波事件,利用OI气辉探测到29个重力波事件,这些重力波的周期和水平相速度分别集中在68 min和36 m/s左右,具有东南向的优势传播方向,平均仰角为8°～10°,接近水平方向传播;(2)通过OH气辉和OI气辉观测到了同一个重力波事件,并根据两个高度上观测到的扰动相位差判断该重力波为上行波.      

Learning in an immersive digital theater

The Houston Museum of Natural Science, in collaboration with Rice University has an outreach program taking portable digital theaters to schools and community sites for over five years and has conducted research on student learning in this immersive environment. By using an external independent evaluator, the effectiveness of NASA-funded Education and Public Outreach (EPO) projects can be assessed. This paper documents interactive techniques and learning strategies in full-dome digital theaters. The presentation is divided into Evaluation Strategies and Results and Interactivity Strategies and Results. All learners from grades 3–12 showed statistically significant short-term increase in knowledge of basic Earth science concepts after a single 22-min show. Improvements were more significant on items that were taught using more than one modality of instruction: hearing, seeing, discussion, and immersion. Thus immersive theater can be an effective as well as engaging teaching method for Earth and Space science concepts, particularly those that are intrinsically three-dimensional and thus most effectively taught in an immersive environment. The portable system allows taking the educational experience to rural and tribal sites where the underserved students could not afford the time or expense to travel to museums.     

Stochastic particle acceleration by the forced interaction of relativistic current sheets

We address the problem of interacting relativistic current sheets in self-consistent kinetic plasma simulations within the framework of the Particle-In-Cell model. The interaction is enforced in head-on collisions of up to 10 current sheets at relativistic bulk speeds. The simulations are motivated by the general problem of Poynting flux dissipation in ‘striped wind’ configurations presumably governing the relativistic outflows pervasive in pulsar winds and gamma-ray bursts. We identify the generation of non-thermal particles and formation of a stable power-law shape in the particle energy distributions f(γ) dγ ∝ γ^−s dγ. In 1D, a spectral index s ∼ 2 is observed and attributed to a stochastic Fermi-type acceleration mechanism. In 2D, the generic index of s ∼ 3–4 is retained as in previous simulations of individual current sheets. Whereas in 2D the high energy cut-off is constrained by the limited dissipation of magnetic energy, in 1D the process converts the bulk motion of current sheets towards directed particle momentum of an exclusive class of non-thermal particles.     

Scaling analysis and model estimation of solar corona index

A monthly average solar green coronal index time series for the period from January 1939 to December 2008 collected from NOAA (The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) has been analysed in this paper in perspective of scaling analysis and modelling. Smoothed and de-noising have been done using suitable mother wavelet as a pre-requisite. The Finite Variance Scaling Method (FVSM), Higuchi method, rescaled range (R/S) and a generalized method have been applied to calculate the scaling exponents and fractal dimensions of the time series. Autocorrelation function (ACF) is used to find autoregressive (AR) process and Partial autocorrelation function (PACF) has been used to get the order of AR model. Finally a best fit model has been proposed using Yule-Walker Method with supporting results of goodness of fit and wavelet spectrum. The results reveal an anti-persistent, Short Range Dependent (SRD), self-similar property with signatures of non-causality, non-stationarity and nonlinearity in the data series. The model shows the best fit to the data under observation.

CoRoT and Kepler results: Solar-like oscillators

The space-borne observatories CoRoT (Convection Rotation and planetary Transits) and Kepler have provided photometric time series data of unprecedented precision for large numbers of stars. These data have revolutionized the fields of transiting exoplanets and asteroseismology. In this review some important asteroseismic results obtained using data from the CoRoT and Kepler space missions concerning stars that show solar-like oscillations are discussed. These results comprise, among others, measurements of the location of the base of the convection zone and helium second-ionization zone in main-sequence stars, the presence (or not) of core-helium burning in red-giant stars, as well as differential rotation in these stars.

Return to Europa: Overview of the Jupiter Europa orbiter mission

Missions to explore Europa have been imagined ever since the Voyager mission first suggested that Europa was geologically very young. Subsequently, the Galileo spacecraft supplied fascinating new insights into this satellite of Jupiter. Now, an international team is proposing a return to the Jupiter system and Europa with the Europa Jupiter System Mission (EJSM). Currently, NASA and ESA are designing two orbiters that would explore the Jovian system and then each would settle into orbit around one of Jupiter’s icy satellites, Europa and Ganymede. In addition, the Japanese Aerospace eXploration Agency (JAXA) is considering a Jupiter magnetospheric orbiter and the Russian Space Agency is investigating a Europa lander.
