摘要: 地球磁层环电流所造成的中低纬度地区地表磁场水平分量的剧烈扰动, 可以通过暴时扰动(Dst)指数和对称H分量(SYM-H)指数来表征. Dst指数和SYM-H指数作为衡量地磁活动的重要指标, 能够清楚反映磁暴的发生时间和强度. 由于磁暴期间环电流的不对称性, 不同地方时的地磁扰动水平存在显著差异, 而Dst指数和SYM-H指数作为全球地磁指数, 不一定能准确描述中国区域的地磁扰动情况. 本文利用子午工程拉萨、成都、武汉、杭州4个台站2010-2024年的地磁数据, 计算得到了中国区域地磁指数(cDst指数、cSYM-H指数), 并与全球地磁指数(Dst指数和SYM-H指数)开展对比分析. 结果表明, 两类中国区域地磁指数能更准确地描述中国区域地磁扰动特征, 其与全球地磁指数的差异呈现晨昏侧依赖性: 中国位于昏侧时, 中国区域地磁指数绝对值大于全球地磁指数; 而位于晨侧时, 则小于全球地磁指数. 相应地, 中国位于昏侧时, 中国区域磁扰数量多于磁暴数量; 而位于晨侧时, 则少于磁暴数量. 这些现象的物理机制与环电流的晨昏不对称性密切相关. 同时, 基于中国区域地磁指数可有效反演全球地磁指数, 反演结果符合良好, 所以在全球地磁指数无法获取时, 可以提供高质量补充数据.

Abstract: The great disturbances of the horizontal component of the geomagnetic field in mid-low latitudes caused by the ring current in the Earth’s magnetosphere can be characterized by the Disturbance Storm Time (Dst) index and the symmetric H component (SYM-H) index. The Dst index and SYM-H index are important indicators for measuring geomagnetic activity, which can clearly reflect the commencement and intensity of geomagnetic storms. Due to the asymmetry of ring current during geomagnetic storms, there are significant differences in the geomagnetic disturbance intensity in different regions. As global geomagnetic index, Dst index and SYM-H index may not accurately describe the geomagnetic disturbance situation in China. We uses geomagnetic data from four stations in Lhasa, Chengdu, Wuhan, and Hangzhou of the Chinese Meridian Project from 2010 to 2024 to calculate the Chinese geomagnetic index (cDst index, cSYM-H index), and compares and analyzes them with the global geomagnetic index (Dst index, SYM-H index). The results indicate that the two types of Chinese geomagnetic index can more accurately describe the characteristics of geomagnetic disturbances in China, and their differences from the global geomagnetic index show a dawn-dusk dependence: The absolute value of the Chinese geomagnetic index is greater than the global geomagnetic index when China is located on the dusk side, and is less when China is on the dawn side. Correspondingly, the number of Chinese geomagnetic disturbances is more than geomagnetic storms when China is located on the dusk side, and is less when China is on the dawn side. The physical mechanism of these phenomena is closely related to the dawn-dusk asymmetry of the ring current. Meanwhile, based on the Chinese geomagnetic index, the global geomagnetic index can be effectively obtained, and the results are in good agreement. Therefore, when the global geomagnetic index cannot be obtained, high-quality supplementary data can be provided.-
