Study of sporadic-E clouds by backscatter radarAnnales Geophysicae - Tập 14 - Trang 1060-1065 - 1997
Z. Houminer, C. J. Russell, P. L. Dyson, J. A. Bennett
It is shown that swept-frequency backscatter ionograms covering a range of azimuths can be used to study the dynamics of sporadic-E clouds. A simple technique based on analytic ray tracing can be used to simulate the observed narrow traces associated with Es patches. This enables the location and extent of the sporadic-E clouds to be determined. The motion of clouds can then be determined from a t...... hiện toàn bộ
Localized structure in the cusp and high-latitude ionosphere: a modelling studyAnnales Geophysicae - Tập 17 - Trang 455-462 - 1999
H. F. Balmforth, R. J. Moffett, A. S. Rodger
The ionospheric signature of a flux transfer event (FTE) seen in EISCAT radar data has been used as the basis for a modelling study using a new numerical model of the high-latitude ionosphere developed at the University of Sheffield, UK. The evolution of structure in the high-latitude ionosphere is investigated and examined with respect to the current views of polar patch formation and development...... hiện toàn bộ
A new airborne polar Nephelometer for the measurements of optical and microphysical cloud properties. Part I: Theoretical designAnnales Geophysicae - Tập 15 - Trang 451-459 - 1997
J. F. Gayet, O. Crépel, J. F. Fournol, S. Oshchepkov
A new optical sensor, the airborne Polar Nephelometer, is described. The sensor is designed to measure the optical and microphysical parameters of clouds containing either water droplets or ice crystals or a mixture of these particles ranging in size from a few micrometers to about 500 μm diameter. The probe measures the scattering phase function of an ensemble of cloud particles intersecting a co...... hiện toàn bộ
Auroral E-region electron density gradients measured with EISCATAnnales Geophysicae - Tập 18 - Trang 1172-1181 - 2000
C. Haldoupis, K. Schlegel, G. Hussey
In the theory of E-region plasma instabilities, the ambient electric field and electron density gradient are both included in the same dispersion relation as the key parameters that provide the energy for the generation and growth of electrostatic plasma waves. While there exist numerous measurements of ionospheric electric fields, there are very few measurements and limited knowledge about the am...... hiện toàn bộ
Properties and origin of energetic particles at the duskside of the Earth’s magnetosheath throughout a great stormAnnales Geophysicae - Tập 17 - Trang 1121-1133 - 1999

Trường điện từ vùng F vào ban đêm tại xích đạo Dịch bởi AI Annales Geophysicae - Tập 13 - Trang 871-878 - 1995
S. S. Hari, B. V. Krishna Murthy
Sự trôi điện động thẳng đứng của vùng F vào ban đêm tại trạm từ trường xích đạo, Trivandrum được thu thập trong khoảng thời gian 2 năm, 1989 và 1990 (tương ứng với thời kỳ cực đại của chu kỳ mặt trời), sử dụng dữ liệu ionosonde h‘F. Sự dao động theo mùa của sự trôi thẳng đứng được phát hiện có liên quan đến các gradient kinh độ của gió khí quyển nhiệt độ cao. Hơn nữa, sự dao động theo mùa của sự g...... hiện toàn bộ

Jupiter’s Great Red Spot: compactness condition and stabilityAnnales Geophysicae - Tập 12 - Trang 1-18 - 1994
Jun-Ichi Yano, Glenn R. Flierl
Linear Rossby wave dispersion relationships suggest that Jupiter’s Great Red Spot (GRS) is a baroclinic structure embedded in a barotropic shearing zonal flow. Quasi-geostrophic (QG) two-layer simulations support the theory, as long as an infinitely deep zonal flow is assumed. However, once a finite depth of the lower layer is assumed, a self-interaction of the baroclinic eddy component produces a...... hiện toàn bộ

Abstract. Contributions of intermolecular electron energy transfers in the electronic quenching are calculated for molecular collisions N2(A3Σu+, W3Δu)+N2(X1Σg+, v=0), N2(A3Σu+)+N2(X1Σg+, v≥0), N2(A3Σu+)+O2(X3Σg−, v=0–2), O2(a1Δg, b1Σg+)+O2(X3Σg−, v=0–2). The calculation has allowed one to estimate the product branching ratios. It is shown that there is a dependence of the calculated rate ...... hiện toàn bộ
Electronic kinetics of molecular nitrogen and molecular oxygen in high-latitude lower thermosphere and mesosphereAnnales Geophysicae - Tập 28 Số 1 - Trang 181-192
A. S. Kirillov
Abstract. Total quenching rate coefficients of Herzberg states of molecular oxygen and three triplet states of molecular nitrogen in the collisions with O2 and N2 molecules are calculated on the basis of quantum-chemical approximations. The calculated rate coefficients of electronic quenching of O2* and N2* molecules show a good agreement with available experimental data. An influence of c...... hiện toàn bộ
