Magnetospheric Physics in China: 2012–2014

In the past two years, many progresses have been made in magnetospheric physics by using the data of Double Star Program, Cluster, THEMIS and RBSP missions, or by computer simulations. This paper briefly reviews these works based on papers selected from the 126 publications from March 2012 to March 2014. The subjects cover various sub-branches of magnetospheric physics,including geomagnetic storm, magnetospheric substorm and magnetic reconnection.     

新型缓冲腿结构设计及性能分析

腿部结构是实现仿生蝗虫跳跃机器人良好缓冲性能的重要组成部分,因此对其进行结构设计及分析具有重要的意义。为实现更好的着陆缓冲性能,基于蝗虫腿部生理结构和现有仿生串联腿的结构形式,设计了一种新型的用于跳跃机器人的缓冲腿。在对缓冲腿的力学性能进行分析的基础上,根据缓冲性能评价原则,对结构参数进行了分析及优化,并对同时处于最优状态下的新型缓冲腿和原有仿生串联缓冲腿的缓冲性能进行分析比较。相对于原有仿生串联缓冲腿,改进后的新型缓冲腿受到地面作用力的幅值减小了25.3%,储能能力提高了34.6%。这为仿生蝗虫跳跃机器人及其他着陆机构的研制提供了依据。

双麦克斯韦分布下极区中层尘埃粒子带电研究

在大功率微波照射下,极区中层夏季回波（PMSE）会立刻消失,该现象被称为极区中层加热现象.在大功率微波照射极区中层时,电子在微波电场加速下产生的定向运动速度与热运动速度可以比拟,极区中层的尘埃等离子体服从双麦克斯韦分布.基于双麦克斯韦分布下尘埃粒子充电理论给出极区中层尘埃粒子的电荷分布,比较了大功率微波对极区中层加热前和加热时,尘埃粒子电荷以及极区中层电子浓度的变化.结果表明,采用大功率微波装置加热极区中层会影响电子对尘埃粒子的充电进而导致电子浓度变化,这对解释极区中层加热现象具有重要意义.

Improved robust Kalman filter for state model errors in GNSS-PPP/MEMS-IMU double state integrated navigation

The integration of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) with Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) has been actively researched and widely applied as it can provide reliable positioning information continuously. In recent years, Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology achieves rapid development and Micro Electro Mechanical Systems and Inertial Measurement Unit (MEMS-IMU) has aroused wide concern due to its excellent properties in some cases. However, the observations from MEMS-IMU are easy to be influenced by motion state and location environment because of its manufacturing process. It is not easy to judge whether gross errors are in the state model or the observation model by the widely adopted robust filter based on innovation. In this contribution, we present an improved robust filter with a double state model on the basis of the chi-square distribution of the square of the Mahalanobis distance. The vehicle motion model acts as the external constraint information and can be adopted to construct robust statistic with the results from INS mechanization. And then a robust factor was determined to adjust the observation noise covariance matrix. To evaluate the performance of this method, the simulation test and the field test based on locomotive platform of Nottingham Geospatial Institute (NGI) were carried out. According to the results, in the simulation test, the position improvements are 33%, 30% in the north and east directions; in the real test, the loosely and tightly coupled was adopted and the position accuracy can be improved by about 50–60% in the horizontal direction and the improvement of the pitch and the roll accuracy was lower than the azimuth accuracy due to poor observability and experimental scene which is of the characteristics of small elevation change. Therefore, the proposed robust filter could diminish the effect of the gross error from MEMS-IMU and enhance the integrated system.     

Shocklike soliton because of an impinge of protons and electrons solar particles with Venus ionosphere

This paper introduces an investigation of shocklike soliton or small amplitude Double Layers (DLs) in a collisionless plasma, consisting of positive and negative ions, nonthermal electrons, as well as solar wind streaming protons and electrons. Gardner equation is derived and its shocklike soliton solution is obtained. The model is employed to recognize a possible nonlinear wave at Venus ionosphere. The results indicate that the number densities and velocities of the streaming particles play crucial role to determine the polarity and characteristic features (amplitude and width) of the shocklike soliton waves. An electron streaming speed modifies a negative shocklike wave profile, while an ion streaming speed modulates a positive shocklike wave characteristic.
