中层大气受迫Rossby波包的非线性相互作用：Ⅱ.数值计算

本文对中层大气受迫Ｒｏｓｓｂｙ波包的非线性三波相互作用问题作了进一步的数值分析，结果表明，三个波包随时间演化达到的平衡态与文献［１］的理论结果完全一致，而且仅当系统中只有中等波长波包不受外源强迫时，系统运动有可能出现两个稳定平衡态，在一定外源强度范围内，平衡态会产生尖点突变，平衡态随外源的变化有滞后分岔的特征，系统运动最终达到的平衡态不仅与外源强度的变化方式有关，而且依赖于初始状态。     

基于T96模型的极尖区位形变化特性研究

基于T96模型,定义了极尖区的位形以及相关的描述参量(例如赤道向边界磁纬的最小值,纬向宽度,子午向和晨昏向的张角,倾斜度,扁平度,中心磁地方时等),讨论了太阳风动压(P_d)、行星际磁场(IMF)及磁暴强度对极尖区位形的影响.太阳风动压和磁暴强度越大,则极尖区的赤道向边界磁纬越小,纬向宽度越大,子午向和晨昏向的张角越大,倾斜度越大,扁平度越小;南向IMF B_z越强,则极尖区的赤道向边界磁纬越小,纬向宽度越小,子午向的张角越小,晨昏向的张角越大,倾斜度越大,扁平度越大;北向IMF B_z与南向IMF B_z的情况刚好相反;极尖区的中心磁地方时受IMF B_y控制,IMF B_y为正时,极尖区向昏侧移动,而IMF B_y为负时,极尖区则向晨侧移动,并且极尖区的中心磁地方时与IMF B_y之间有着良好的线性关系.将所得结果与前人的观测结果进行了简单比较,发现利用T96模型确定的极尖区位形与观测基本一致.     

Two sources of magnetosheath ions observed by Cluster in the mid-altitude polar cusp

Double cusps have been observed on a few occasions by polar orbiting spacecraft and ground-based observatories. The four Cluster spacecraft observed two distinct regions, showing characteristics of a double cusp, during a mid-altitude cusp pass on 7 August 2004. The Wind spacecraft detected a southward turning of the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) at the beginning of the cusp crossings and IMF–Bz stayed negative throughout. Cluster 4 observed a high energy step in the ion precipitation around 1 keV on the equatorward side of the cusp and a dense ion population in the cusp centre. Cluster 1, entering the cusp around 1 min later, observed only a partial ion dispersion with a low energy cutoff reaching 100 eV, together with the dense ion population in the cusp centre. About 9 min later, Cluster 3 entered the cusp and observed full ion dispersion from a few keV down to around 50 eV, together with the dense ion population in the centre of the cusp. The ion flow was directed poleward and eastward in the step/dispersion, whereas in the centre of the cusp the flow was directed poleward and westward. In addition the altitude of the source region of ion injection in the step/dispersion was found 50% larger than in the cusp centre. This event could be explained by the onset of dayside reconnection when the IMF turned southward. The step would be the first signature of component reconnection near the subsolar point, and the injection in the centre of the cusp a result of anti-parallel reconnection in the northern dusk side of the cusp. A three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation is used to display the topology of the magnetic field and locate the sources of the ions during the event.     

缝翼尖端延伸对流场及噪声特性的影响

尖端延伸可改变自由剪切层的形成和发展,并对缝翼噪声辐射产生影响。首先,基于 30P30N 多段翼型及 DDES 瞬态流场仿真方法,分析该翼型在两种尖端延伸方式下的压力、湍动能及瞬态涡量等参数的分布趋势;其次,利用 FW-H 积分法分析缝翼的远场噪声声压级与指向性分布特征;最后,基于 ?2ρ 瞬态流场结构分析方法,研究缝翼尖端延伸对剪切层涡结构的动态演变规律,及其对气动噪声特性的影响。结果表明：尖端延伸可有效改变缝翼流场参数分布,其中沿剪切层方向延伸,可减弱缝翼凹腔的湍动能强度,减小气流分离涡的特征尺度,在一定程度上抑制缝翼噪声的辐射（低频段窄带峰值降低约 3 dB）

A Theoretic Interpretation of Movement of the Cusp Equatorward Boundary

A preliminary model is proposed to describe quantitatively the position and movement of cusp equatorward boundary. This integrated model, consisting of an empirical model of the magnetopause and a compressed dipolar model of Open/Closed field line, connects quantitatively the solar wind conditions, subsolar magnetopause and cusp equatorward boundary. It is shown that the increasing solar wind dynamic pressure and the increasing southward Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) component drive the magnetopause to move inward and the cusp equatorward. This model is adopted to interpret quantitatively the cusp movement of August 14, 2001 observed by Cluster. The results show that the subsolar magnetopause moved earthward from 10.7 He to 9.0 Re during the period of 002300-002800 UT, and correspondingly the cusp equatorward boundary shifted equatorward. The observations of Cluster C1 and C4 show the cusp equatorward boundary that Cluster Cl and C4 were crossing during same interval moved equatorward by 4.6°. The cusp equatorward boundary velocity computed in the theoretical model (10.7km/s) is in good agreement with the observed value (9.4km/s) calculated from the data of CIS of Cluster C4 and C1.     

High-Latitude Particle Precipitation and its Relationship to Magnetospheric Source Regions

Two central issues in magnetospheric research are understanding the mapping of the low-altitude ionosphere to the distant regions of the magnetsphere, and understanding the relationship between the small-scale features detected in the various regions of the ionosphere and the global properties of the magnetosphere. The high-latitude ionosphere, through its magnetic connection to the outer magnetosphere, provides an important view of magnetospheric boundaries and the physical processes occurring there. All physical manifestations of this magnetic connectivity (waves, particle precipitation, etc.), however, have non-zero propagation times during which they are convected by the large-scale magnetospheric electric field, with phenomena undergoing different convection distances depending on their propagation times. Identification of the ionospheric signatures of magnetospheric regions and phenomena, therefore, can be difficult. Considerable progress has recently been made in identifying these convection signatures in data from low- and high-altitude satellites. This work has allowed us to learn much about issues such as: the rates of magnetic reconnection, both at the dayside magnetopause and in the magnetotail; particle transport across the open magnetopause; and particle acceleration at the magnetopause and the magnetotail current sheets.
