第23周太阳活动不对性分析

运用了二个太阳活动指数,即太阳黑子群数和黑子面积来分析第23周太阳活动的不对称性,文中引进了一个新概念“累计的不对称性”来描述太阳活动的不对称性分布,进一步通过计算两个半球上太阳活动指数的实际概率说明了太阳活动的不对称性。结果显示：（1）在第23周开始的前6年左右,太阳活动存在微弱的不对称性;（2）不同太阳活动现象或指数的不对称性,并不发生在同一活动周的同一时期。     

Comparing the diurnal variations in the SuperMAG auroral electrojet indices SML and SMU

Diurnal variations of the SuperMAG auroral electrojet indices (SML and SMU) were examined for the period of 1980–2010, and the differences between SML and SMU were especially analyzed. The diurnal variation of SML with a maximum at around 1100 UT has a prenoon-postnoon asymmetry. At solstices, the diurnal variation of SML is much stronger than that at equinoxes. For the SMU, two maxima are recorded in the diurnal variation with the bigger one at 1700 UT and the smaller one at 0400 UT. The seasonal variations are not obvious in the UT variation characteristics of SMU although the intensity of SMU is changed remarkably season by season. For both SML and SMU, the contributing stations are located at higher geomagnetic latitude around 1600 UT and at lower geomagnetic latitude around 0400 UT. These results indicate that: (1) the SML is mostly controlled by the convection electric field. Its diurnal variation is mainly correlated with the equinoctial and R-M hypothesis; (2) the SMU is largely controlled by the ionospheric conductance. Its diurnal variation is tightly correlated with the solar radiation.     

Characteristics of Ionospheric North-South Asymmetry and Their Relationship with Irregularity

Using the empirical ionospheric model, the flux-tube integrated electron density and the ratio between the F-region Pedersen conductivity and the total E- and F-region Pedersen conductivity are calculated to investigate the characteristics of the ionospheric asymmetry after sunset during a solar cycle. Furthermore, two indices representing the asymmetric strength of the parameters respectively are defined to study its relationship with the occurrences of the irregularities during different seasons and with different solar activities. The results indicate that the electron density and the Pedersen conductivity ratio show north-south remarkable hemispheric asymmetry at different solar energy levels. The asymmetric strengths represent the dependence on seasons and solar activities, and their variation depending on seasons and solar activities show a negative correlation with the occurrences of the equatorial irregularities and also have a negative relation with the linear growth rate of the generalized Rayleigh-Taylor instability.     

A comparative study of global ionospheric responses to three great magnetic storms

Based on a large data base from 69 ionosonde stations distributed worldwide a comparative study is made on the global behavior of ionospheric responses to three great magnetic storms occurring nearly at low and high activity phase of the 22nd solar cycle. Depending on the season of storn occurrence, the global morphology of the ionospheric response to major magnetic storm is very different. For the February 1986 storm, hemispheric asymmetry of storm effects is remarkable, and positive storm effects are dominant in the winter hemisphere. Instead, for the two magnetic storms taking place near equinox in 1989, longlasting decreases in N_m were observed in both hemispheres Large-scale TIDs propagating equatorward were seen during the main phases of the October 1989 magnetic storm at evening-night sector. On the other hand, short-lasting positive storm effects appearing as wave-like disturbances in N_m were observed during the primary main phase of the 1986 storm in winter hemisphere. They seem to originate near the equatorial region and travel polarward.

电离层峰值变化特性及其影响因素分析

电离层延迟误差是影响GNSS高精度定位的重要误差来源之一,分析和掌握各因素对电离层变化规律的影响,有助于建立高精度电离层模型。为此,本文采用IGS中心提供的1999年~2015年电离层GIM数据计算南北半球不同经度圈的峰值不对称指数,分析其与太阳活动情况和地磁活动情况的相关性,并对单日电离层峰值变化情况进行分析。通过分析表明：(1)峰值不对称指数具有明显的年周期性和季节周期性;(2)西半球峰值不对称指数与太阳黑子数的相关性大于东半球,但东半球和西半球峰值不对称指数与地磁指数相关性几乎相同;(3)除08:00 LT ~ 10:00 LT(Local Time) 赤道两侧不存在明显峰值外,剩余时段均有明显的峰值,且通常在12:00 LT ~ 16:00 LT 取得极大值。     

两分两至点热层大气密度变化

 热层大气受太阳辐射的影响,其变化与光照时间长短密切相关,在春分、秋分、夏至、冬至期间呈现出不同的特点。通过在中国低轨道航天器上装载大气密度探测器,获得在轨原位探测数据,分析大气密度在两分两至点时的变化关系。结果表明,春分和秋分（两分点）期间全球热层大气密度随纬度对称性变化,但夏至和冬至（两至点）期间则呈现出全球热层大气密度的南北半球不对称性变化;两至点期间南北半球分别处于夏半球和冬半球,在南北高纬地区（纬度80°附近）670 km上空热层大气密度存在显著差异,探测值表示出3~3.6倍的差异,而在560 km高度上探测到两者差异可高达13倍左右,不对称程度与高度和纬度有关;探测值与模式值比较表明,模式值对冬夏半球上空热层大气密度差异变化显著响应不足。     

Climatological analysis and modeling of the ionospheric global electron content

In this paper, we calculate the ionospheric global electron content （GEC） from the GPS TEC data along the geographic longitude 120°E during the period of 1996-2004, and investigate the relationship between GEC and 10.7 cm solar radio flux F10.7 and its seasonal dependence with partial correlation analysis. Our results show that GEC is closely correlated with solar activity index F10.7 and is also related with annual and semiannual variations. An empirical GEC model driven by those factors is then to examine the influences of different solar activity proxies for the model input. The results suggest that GEC mainly depends on solar activity and the seasonal variations; the latter is also modulated by solar activity. Furthermore, the magnitude of semiannual variation is a little greater than that of annual variation. Our empirical GEC model is proved to be better than the model proposed by Afraimovich et al.     

Transient photoconductivity in a-(Se80Te20)100 xAgx (0rxr4) thin films

Bulk material of (Se80Te20)100 xAgx (0rxr4) system was prepared by using a conventional melt quenching technique. Thin films of a-(Se80Te20)100 xAgx (0rxr4) were deposited by the vacuum evaporation technique at a base pressure of 10 4 mbar onto well-cleaned glass substrates. Temperature dependence of electrical conductivity in the temperature range of 263–333 K has been studied. There is increase in the value of conductivity with increase in temperature as well as with Ag content. The measurements of intensity dependence of photoconductivity show that the photoconductivity increases with intensity as a power law where the power is found to be between 0.5 and 1.0, representing the continuous distribution of traps. Rise and decay of photocurrent with time at room temperature at different light intensities for (Se80Te20)98Ag2 thin film samples have also been reported. The results have been explained on the basis of the Dember voltage and interaction between photoexcited holes and the trapped electrons on the surface.     

The nature of the solar activity during the Maunder Minimum revealed by the Guliya ice core record

Whether the solar activity was very low, and especially whether the solar cycle existed, during the Maunder Minimum (1645–1715 AD), have been disputed for a long time. In this paper we use the Guliya NO₃ ⁻ data, which can reflect the solar activity, to analyze the characteristics of the solar activity during the Maunder Minimum. The results show that the solar activity was indeed low, and solar cycle displayed normal as present, i.e. about 11a, in that period. Moreover, it was found that the solar activity contains a 36-year periodic component probably, which might be related to the variations in the length of the sunspot cycle. This finding is of importance for the study of the relationship between the sun variability and the Earth climate change.     

Low energy H+ effects on the photovoltaic and optical properties of polycrystalline silicon solar cells

Low energy hydrogen ion was used to passivate the electrically active defects existing in grains and grain boundaries of polycrystalline silicon solar cells. Short-circuit current of H⁺ implanted cells remarkably increased before and after preparing TiO₂AR (antireflective) coating. The measurements (at λ=6328 Å) of the optical properties of H⁺ implanted silicon samples show that: the value of absorption coefficient reached the level of a-Si; refractive indexn and ref?ectivityR significantly decreased; the optical band gap increased from 1.1 eV to 1.3 eV. The results indicate that Si-H bonds have been formed after H⁺ implantation. The calculation shows that the optical thickness cycle of TiO₂ AR coating will reduce correspondingly in order to obtain the optimum optical match between AR coating and implanted silicon since refractive index decreases after H⁺ implantation.     

Field-aligned current distribution and response to interplanetary conditions during a superstorm―CHAMP observation

With geomagnetic measurements on board of CHAMP satellite, the characteristics of global large-scale field-aligned currents （FACs） in the topside ionosphere are investigated along with their responses to interplanetary conditions for the superstorm of November, 2003. It is found that （1） The storm-time FAC densities enhanced greatly in comparison with quiet period and the enhancements show hemispheric asymmetry of both summer-winter and sunlit-dark. （2） For the first time, it is revealed that the lati- tude-integrated FAC density is controlled mainly by solar wind dynamic pressure rather than iMF. （3） FACs expanded equatorward dramatically, with the lowest latitude being 45° MLat or more; on the dayside this expansion was controlled directly by IMF Bz, showing an interaction time scale of about 25 min in the solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling system, and a nonlinear saturation of the equatorward expansion when IMF Bz 〈 -30 nT; while on the nightside, the expansion and recovery lagged about 3 h behind the IMF changes but nearly in phase with changes of SYM-H index. （4） During the storm main phase, the nightside FAC latitude coverage extended to 25° or wider, appearing multi-sheet current structure with more than 10 sheets.     

On the Dual <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-Measures of Asymmetry for Star Bodies

Recently, the connection between p-measures of asymmetry and the L_p -mixed volumes for convex bodies was found soon after the p-measure of asymmetry was proposed, and the Orlicz-measures of asymmetry was proposed inspired by such a kind of connection. In this paper, by a similar way the dual p -measures of asymmetry for star bodies (naturally for convex bodies) is introduced first. Then the connection between dual p -measures of asymmetry and L_p -dual mixed volumes is established. Finally, the best lower and upper bounds of dual p-measures and the corresponding extremal bodies are discussed.     

Enhancing the power conversion efficiency of PCDTBT:PC71BM polymer solar cells using a mixture of solvents

Organic polymer solar materials are shown to exhibit better solubility in mixed solvents than in pure ones,which affects the performance of their solar cells.In this article,poly[N-9-hepta-decanyl-2,7-carbazole-alt-5,5-(4.7-di-2-thienyI-2,l,3-benzothiadiazole)(PCDTBT0)and[6,6]-phenyl-C71-butyric acid methyl ester(PC_(71)BM)are used as active layer materials in solar cells.To optimize the performance of these active materials,the ratio of chloroform(CF)to chlorobenzene used as solvents to dissolve PCDTBT,and PC_(71)BM is varied,which is shown to affect power conversion efficiency(PCE).The solar cell that shows the best performance with a PCE as high as 6.82%is produced using a volume ratio of CF to chlorobenzene of1:1.     

Morphological differences between Saturn's ultraviolet aurorae and those of Earth and Jupiter

It has often been stated that Saturn's magnetosphere and aurorae are intermediate between those of Earth, where the dominant processes are solar wind driven, and those of Jupiter, where processes are driven by a large source of internal plasma. But this view is based on information about Saturn that is far inferior to what is now available. Here we report ultraviolet images of Saturn, which, when combined with simultaneous Cassini measurements of the solar wind and Saturn kilometric radio emission, demonstrate that its aurorae differ morphologically from those of both Earth and Jupiter. Saturn's auroral emissions vary slowly; some features appear in partial corotation whereas others are fixed to the solar wind direction; the auroral oval shifts quickly in latitude; and the aurora is often not centred on the magnetic pole nor closed on itself. In response to a large increase in solar wind dynamic pressure Saturn's aurora brightened dramatically, the brightest auroral emissions moved to higher latitudes, and the dawn side polar regions were filled with intense emissions. The brightening is reminiscent of terrestrial aurorae, but the other two variations are not. Rather than being intermediate between the Earth and Jupiter, Saturn's auroral emissions behave fundamentally differently from those at the other planets.     

The seasonal cycle of interhemispheric oscillations in mass field of the global atmosphere

Using the daily and monthly data of surface air pressure, meridional wind, radiation and water vapor from NCEP/NCAR reanalysis for the period of 1979―2006, we have examined the seasonal variations of the interhemispheric oscillations (IHO) in mass field of the global atmosphere. Our results have demonstrated that IHO as observed in surface air pressure field shows the distinct seasonal cycle. This seasonal cycle has an interhemispheric seesaw structure with comparable annual ranges of surface air pressure in the Southern and Northern Hemispheres. Mass of water vapor changes out-of-phase between the Southern and Northern Hemispheres, showing clearly a seasonal cycle with its annual range almost equivalent to annual range of the IHO seasonal cycle. Amazingly, the cross-equatorial flow is found to be induced by annual changes in water vapor mass as a response of the atmosphere to seasonal cycle of forcing from hemispheric net surface short- and long-wave radiations. The IHO seasonality exhibits its larger variations in magnitude in mid-latitudes other than in other regions of the globe. Additionally, our results also show that the global air mass is redistributed seasonally not only between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres but also between land and sea. This land-sea air mass redis- tribution induces a zonal pattern of surface air pressure in the Northern Hemisphere but the meridional pattern in the Southern Hemisphere.

多个太阳矢量磁像仪数据计算的电流螺度对比分析

从20世纪90年代开始,太阳光球电流螺度研究已经取得了重大进展.大样本的统计结果揭示了电流螺度分布的一个重要趋势:太阳表面的活动区,在北半球的螺度符号主要为负值,在南半球的螺度符号主要为正值.虽然不同仪器观测的矢量磁场计算得到的电流螺度符号具有基本的一致性,但它们之间还存在着一些差异.本文中,利用不同矢量磁像仪观测的矢量磁场数据,我们分析了电流螺度随磁场强度的变化,探讨了不同仪器之间差异的原因.我们将纵向磁场和总磁场按强度划分成6个区间,计算了每个区间内电流螺度密度的平均值h_c.统计结果显示:当纵向磁场小于600 G时,由不同仪器数据计算的h_c具有很好的一致性,并且遵守螺度半球符号法则;当纵向磁场大于600 G时,不同仪器之间的差异增大,并且在有的磁场区间内,电流螺度不遵守半球螺度符号法则;南半球的电流螺度更好地符合半球螺度符号法则.电流螺度随总磁场的变化趋势与纵场的相似.利用同样的方法,对个别活动区进行研究,分析磁光效应对电流螺度的影响.通过上述分析,我们得出当纵向磁场小于600 G时,计算得到的电流螺度基本可信.当纵向磁场大于600 G时,造成不同仪器之间差异的真实原因需进一步研究.     

An interplanetary shock traced by planetary auroral storms from the Sun to Saturn

A relationship between solar activity and aurorae on Earth was postulated long before space probes directly detected plasma propagating outwards from the Sun. Violent solar eruption events trigger interplanetary shocks that compress Earth's magnetosphere, leading to increased energetic particle precipitation into the ionosphere and subsequent auroral storms. Monitoring shocks is now part of the 'Space Weather' forecast programme aimed at predicting solar-activity-related environmental hazards. The outer planets also experience aurorae, and here we report the discovery of a strong transient polar emission on Saturn, tentatively attributed to the passage of an interplanetary shock--and ultimately to a series of solar coronal mass ejection (CME) events. We could trace the shock-triggered events from Earth, where auroral storms were recorded, to Jupiter, where the auroral activity was strongly enhanced, and to Saturn, where it activated the unusual polar source. This establishes that shocks retain their properties and their ability to trigger planetary auroral activity throughout the Solar System. Our results also reveal differences in the planetary auroral responses on the passing shock, especially in their latitudinal and local time dependences.

低地磁扰期间海南电离层F2层临界频率的观测与IRI预测结果的对比研究

国际参考电离层模型(IRI)是非常有影响的电离层经验模型之一,利用该模型对我国东亚地区,尤其是海南低纬度地区,进行长期预测的效果尚未研究。通过对一个太阳活动周(2002~2012年)期间海南观测站(19.5°N,109.1°E)数字测高仪DPS-4D观测到的电离层临界频率foF2在低地磁扰动条件下的月中值日变化、季节变化和年变化进行了分析;并与相应的IRI-2012模型预报值进行了对比研究。结果表明:1观测到的foF2存在着明显的冬季异常和半年异常现象,对太阳活动存在着明显的依赖关系;2IRI-2012模型预报值虽给出了海南foF2的基本观测特征,但细节上IRI模型预测值与观测值还是存在着地方时、季节和年度偏差,主要表现为:在太阳活动低年模型存在高估;在太阳下降年期间模型存在低估;在太阳活动较高时期模型存在明显的分季低估,冬、夏季高估;整体上,多数偏差率在±20%以内。偏差率较大的时段主要集中在0500-0800LT,这与以前研究结果基本一致。这些结果对进一步完善IRI模型,尤其是在中国低纬度地区foF2预测参数方面,具有重要的参考价值。
