Case Comparative of Simultaneous Observations of Large-scale Traveling Thermospheric and Ionospheric Disturbances

摘要: 为了对比热层–电离层中相伴传播的大尺度行进式大气层扰动与大尺度行进式电离层扰动的传播特征差异, 利用CHAMP卫星可以同时共体跨纬度观测大气质量密度和电子密度的优势, 研究了2002年3月19日一对远距离相伴传播的LSTAD与LSTID事件. 在当日04:00-06:00 UT期间, 伴随着AE指数的突然显著增强, CHAMP卫星随即在北半球观测到了相伴传播的LSTAD与LSTID. 在04:00 UT以后大约6 h内, 这些大气质量密度与电子密度的扰动一直向南传播, 穿过赤道并进入南半球, 最终在南半球耗散消失. 此外, 地面GNSS台链的观测结果也印证了卫星观测到的LSTID的真实存在. 经过对比分析表明, 由于电子运动受到洛伦兹力的高度控制, 而中性粒子不受洛伦兹力约束, 所以由同一源区激发且相伴传播的LSTAD与LSTID沿子午向的水平传播速度表现出明显差异, 导致在同一轨道上同一时刻同一位置二者的相位并不相同甚至差别明显.

Abstract: To compare the propagation characteristics of Large-Scale Traveling Atmospheric Disturbances (LSTAD) and Large-Scale Traveling Ionospheric Disturbances (LSTID) that propagate in tandem in the thermosphere-ionosphere, this paper takes advantage of the CHAMP satellite’s ability to simultaneously observe atmospheric mass density and electron density across latitudes, studying a pair of LSTAD and LSTID events that propagated in tandem over long distances on 19 March 2002. Around 04:00-06:00 UT on 19 March, with a sudden and significant increase in the AE index, the CHAMP satellite observed the LSTAD and LSTID propagating in tandem in the Northern Hemisphere. Over the next approximately 6 h after 04:00 UT, these disturbances in atmospheric mass density and electron density propagated southward, crossed the equator, and entered the Southern Hemisphere, eventually dissipating there. On the other hand, the ground-based GNSS chain observations also confirmed the existence of the LSTID observed by the satellite. Through comparative analysis, it was found that due to the highly controlled movement of electrons by the Lorentz force while neutral particles are not constrained by it, the horizontal propagation speeds of LSTAD and LSTID along the meridian direction show significant differences. Therefore, at the same time and position on the same orbit, their phases are not the same and may even differ significantly. -
