The impact of large solar events on the total electron content of the ionosphere at mid latitudes

Ionospheric disturbances associated with solar activity may occur via two basic mechanisms. The first is related to the direct impact on the ionosphere of EUV photons from a flare, and the second by prompt electric field penetration into the magnetosphere during geomagnetic storms. In this paper we examine the possibility that these two mechanisms may have an impact at mid latitudes by calculating the total electron content (TEC) from GPS stations in Mexico during several large X-ray flares. We have found that indeed large, complex flares, which are well located, may affect the mid latitude ionosphere. In fact, in the solar events of July 14, 2000 and April 2001 storms, ionospheric disturbances were observed to increase up to 138 and 150 TECu, respectively, due to the influence of EUV photons. Also, during the solar events of July 2000, April 2001, Halloween 2003, January 2005 and December 2006, there are large ionospheric disturbances (up to 393 TECu in the Halloween Storms), due to prompt penetration electric field, associated with CME producing geomagnetic storm.     

Vertical TEC variations and model during low solar activity at a low latitude station,Xiamen

GPS-derived vertical TEC recorded at Xiamen (24.5°N, 118.1°E, geomagnetic latitude 13.2°N), China, during year 2006 is analyzed for the first time and compared to that predicted by ionosphere model SPIM recommend by ISO. A manifest seasonal anomaly is found with the high value during equinoctial season and low value during summer and winter season. Relative standard deviation for VTEC shows high value at around midnight and before sunrise. The correlation analysis exhibits that the variation of VTEC has a very weak relation with geomagnetic and solar activities (Dst, AP, SSN and F10.7). Comparative results reveal that the SPIM overestimates the observed VTEC at most of the time.

交互式棱柱网格生成中翘曲现象形成机制及消除算法

在基于径向基函数插值的交互式棱柱网格生成中,当物面网格单元空间法矢变化范围较大或变化剧烈时,棱柱网格生成会发生翘曲问题,降低棱柱网格质量。针对该问题,首先采用DLR-F6机翼外形算例对翘曲现象进行了介绍和初步分析,并结合平板外形棱柱网格生成,通过不同波长推进位移扰动模拟法矢变化对推进位移的影响,研究棱柱网格翘曲现象的形成机制。不同位移扰动下平板棱柱网格生成结果证实边界棱线网格点推进位移不光滑会通过空间插值放大,引起棱柱网格发生翘曲,且网格翘曲的表现形式与推进位移的分布有关。从而间接表明棱柱网格生成中翘曲现象是由法矢变化带来推进位移分布不光滑引起的。然后从翘曲现象的形成机制出发,基于拉普拉斯方法发展了推进位移光顺技术,并通过DLR-F6机翼算例进行了验证。测试结果表明,光顺技术能够完全消除棱柱网格的翘曲,获得光顺的高质量棱柱网格。最后通过DLR-F6翼身组合体外形棱柱网格生成,展示了添加光顺技术的棱柱网格生成算法的应用潜力。     

高精度舰载惯性导航系统的重力影响研究

舰载的高精度惯性导航系统中,重力误差补偿的精度与导航的精度息息相关。长航时舰载导航系统,与短航时惯性导航系统相比,重力扰动随时间积累对导航精度的影响更加明显,因此不能再用简单的重力模型对重力进行近似,而需要对重力扰动误差进行补偿。本文针对舰载高精度惯性导航,理论上推导了重力扰动误差对惯性导航精度的影响,并以北向单通道模型对重力扰动误差与水平定位精度的解析关系式进行验证;进而用simulink仿真验证解析关系式的正确性,并在不同条件下进行了仿真。仿真结果表明：静态条件下,20小时以上的长航时导航中,北向或东向重力扰动分量每增加10mgal时,对应位置误差范围约增加130m。     

Initial phase of mid-latitude aurora during strong geomagnetic storms

Analysing the initial mid-latitude aurora phase during strong geomagnetic storms we found that the initial phase of the mid-latitude aurorae observed at 630 nm emission during the strong geomagnetic storms on March 24, 1991, April 6, 2000, October 30 and November 20, 2003 is characterized by a short (∼1 h) wave-like disturbance. This disturbance corresponds to the beginning of main phase of the magnetic storms. The marked effect of the mid-latitude aurorae is analyzed using data on magnetosphere and ionosphere conditions in observation periods. The features of the dynamics of the 630 nm emission intensity and its connection with the dynamics of magnetospheric–ionospheric structures are considered. Possible excitation mechanisms of the atomic oxygen emission (630 nm) during these disturbances are discussed.
