基于无源信标的天波OTHR目标跟踪

为了削弱电离层分层结构引起的"多径"效应,减小电离层高度难以准确获取带来的跟踪误差,提出了基于无源信标的目标跟踪方法。通过雷达发射高频信号,建立等效电离层传播模型,并利用无源信标修正电离层高度,其中跟踪过程分为两个阶段:先进行初次跟踪,将跟踪结果与信标对比,反演出等效电离层虚高,再利用修正虚高跟踪未知目标。针对实测数据的分析结果表明,与多假设航迹融合算法相比,本方法具有更高的精确性和适应性。     

电离层探测仪回波能量积累算法

设计一组适用于小功率便携式电离层探测仪的预处理能量积累算法.该积累算法由基于脉间相位编码的脉冲压缩算法、基于多次探测的多普勒积累算法和群时延-多普勒域二维积累算法3部分组成.实时采集的数字信号经过脉冲压缩算法处理后,回波能量均在电波历经的群时延距离附近聚集,信噪比提高,回波的相位信息被保留.然后,依据多次探测过程中的相位连续性实现多普勒积累.最后,基于数字图像处理技术和电离层回波的时延与多普勒连续散布特性提出群时延-多普勒域二维积累算法,不仅可以提高短波信道的衰落区域的能量,还可以填补脉间调相体制的回波区域中的固有盲区.研究结果表明:实测数据经积累算法处理后,回波信噪比显著提高;这些积累算法可为弱回波检测提供具有更高信噪比的数据,减小探测仪的功耗,有利于设备的小型化和便携化.     

电离层闪烁下4路信号处理的载波锁相环

针对电离层闪烁导致的卫星导航接收机载波锁相环失锁问题,提出一种基于Kalman滤波器的4路信号处理载波锁相环. 该环路通过增加两路信号处理对锁相结果进行纠正,扩大了锁相环的相位牵引范围,同时根据信号实时载噪比自适应调节滤波系数,有效避免电离层闪烁时信号振幅衰落和相位突变引起的环路失锁. 通过仿真表明,这种锁相环可以在持续中强度和瞬时高强度的电离层闪烁下保持跟踪.      

玉树Mw7．1地震前电离层异常扰动初步分析

为了研究地震电离层效应,采用CODE提供的全球电离层地图（GIM）数据分析了2010年4月14日玉树7．1级地震．通过插值提取了震中区域震前的TEC时间序列,利用滑动四分位距法排除太阳（SSN、F10．7）和地磁活动（Dst、Kp）的干扰,发现电离层在震前26天和13天存在明显异常．全球电离层异常分布结果显示,震前26天的电离层异常幅度小于震前13天的异常幅度,这可能与临震时间有关．此外,两次异常的峰值点与震中区域并不严格对应,而是靠近震中偏向赤道的一侧,同时磁共轭区也有异常出现,但范围和幅度较小,这两次电离层异常有可能是地震前兆．     

Development of a middle and low latitude theoretical ionospheric model and an observation system data assimilation experiment

On the basis of previous work, we develop a middle and low latitude theoretical ionospheric model in this paper, named Theoretical Ionospheric Model of the Earth in the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences （TIME-IGGCAS）. TIME-IGGCAS solves the equations of mass continuity, motion and energy of electron and ions self-consistently and uses an eccentric dipole field approximation to the Earth＇s magnetic field. We combine the Eulerian and Lagrangian approaches in the model and take account of the plasma ExB drift velocity. Calculation results reveal that the model is steady and credible and can reproduce most large-scale features of ionosphere. By using TIME-IGGCAS, we carried out an observation system data assimilation experiment. Assimilation results show that the ExB drift velocity can be accurately estimated by ingesting the observed foF2 and hmF2 into the model applying nonlinear least-square fit method. We suggest that this work is of great significance in the development of ionospheric data assimilation model to give better nowcast and forecast of ionosphere.     

Morphology of polar ionospheric O^＋ ion upflow： FAST observations during quiet time

With energetic ion measurements on FAST satellite, the morphologic features of quiet-time ionospheric O ion upflowing at altitudes of 2000 to 4000 km are drawn out for the first time. The pre-noon cusp/cleft is the predominant region of upflowing occurrence for O with lower energy. Meanwhile the pre-dawn sector near the equatorward edge of the plasma convection dominates the occurrence for the higher energy O ions. No matter whether the energy is lower or higher, the upflows occur often over a wide MLT range of lower latitudes outside the auroral oval. The upflowing within the pre-midnight (21:00― 22:00 MLT) auroral oval carrys larger energy fluxes, with extremely large fluxes for higher energy O appearing near the polar cap boundary. For altitudes of 2000―4200 km under observation, the ion conics occur much more frequently than ion beams. Ion beams are rarely found below 3000 km, while the conics occur uniformly over the observed altitudes.     

Analysis of the ionosphere wave-motion with GPS

The periodic solar activities strongly affect the ioniza-tion of the ionosphere. Sudden enhancements in soft and hard solar X-ray and EUV radiation during solar flare can produce an immediate increase in ionospheric ionization in various degrees at different heights; altogether, they are called sudden ionospheric disturbances (SIDs), which are generally recorded as sudden increase of total electron content (SITEC), the short wave fadeout (SWF), sudden frequency deviation (SFD), sudden ph…

Magnetic Storm Effects in the Auroral Ionosphere Observed with EISCAT Radar -Two Case Studies

Storm-time changes of main plasma parameters in the auroral ionosphere are analyzed for two intense storms occurring on May 15, 1997 and Sept. 25, 1998, with emphasis on their relationship to the solar wind dynamic pressure and the IMF Bz component. Strong hard particle precipitation occurred in the initial phase for both storma,associated with high solar wind dynamical pressure. During the recovery phase of the storms, some strong particle precipitation was neither concerned with high solar wind pressure nor southward IMF Bz. Severe negative storm effects depicted by electron density depletion appeared in theF-region during the main and recovery phase of both storms, caused by intensive electric field-related strong Joule/frictional heating when IMF was largely southward. The ion temperature behaved similarly in E- and F-region, but the electron temperature did quite different, with a strong increase in the lower E-region relating to plasma instability excited by strong electric field and a slight decrease in the F-region probably concerning with a cooling process. The field-aligned ion velocity was high and apparently anticorrelated with the northward component of the ion convection velocity.
