Nonsolid rotation of structures in isothermal magnetized atmospheres

Possible equilibrium rotating magnetized plasma configurations in which angular asymmetry due to a nonuniform distribution of the molecular weight is absent are studied. The viscosity of the medium is assumed to be negligible. The variables in exact nonlinear equations are separated by representing the vector fields as series in orthogonal vector spherical harmonics. These series are normally divergent. However, the truncation of the series is also possible. Equilibrium models corresponding to the truncated series are generalizations of a simple rigidly rotating model. They are studied below. It is shown that nonaxisymmetric equilibrium structures with the magnetic field of a tilted dipole are possible. In the case of an isothermal atmosphere, conditions for the superrotation of the medium and meridional circulation of the matter may arise. The feasibility of such conditions in the Earth’s upper atmosphere is discussed.     

Formation of structures in a dusty ionosphere

An analysis of the evolution of microscopic particles (dust grains) in the Earth’s ionosphere and their effect on ionization in the middle atmosphere is presented. It is shown that summer conditions in the polar ionosphere, which are characterized by an ambient air temperature below 150 K and presence of supersaturated water vapor, facilitate the formation of dust structures in the middle atmosphere, such as noctilucent clouds and polar mesospheric summer echoes. The ionospheric plasma composition can change significantly in the regions occupied by these structures. Depending on photoelectric properties of the grains, their presence may lead to excess, or decrease in, electron concentration and complex behavior of ion concentration. The proposed self-consistent model of the ionosphere allows for grain growth, sedimentation, and charging and can be used to explain the behavior of ionization under summer conditions in the polar ionosphere.     

南中国海存在孤立子内波条件下的声场时间相关半径

在动态的海洋环境中,由于数据向量和拷贝场之间的失配,匹配场处理器的性能会发生退化。数据向量的时间相关半径是这种退化的一种量度。通过2001年ASIAEX南海实验中垂直阵上水听器接收到的声场数据求取了400 Hz窄带信号的声场时间相关。从实验数据处理结果观察到,伴随着传播路径上非线性内波的进入,声场的时间相关半径减小。同时利用一个二维的平流冻结海洋模型和传播路径上三个温度链的温度数据对声场进行了数值仿真,分析了不同频率下的声场时间相关半径。结果表明:实验结果与仿真的400 Hz信号的声场时间相关较为一致。可见,在时变的海洋环境下,声信道中存在孤立子内波将会使声场的时间相关半径大大缩短。      

On the possible perturbation of stratospheric dynamics due to Pinatubo aerosols

Summary The injection of a large amount of SO₂ in the tropical lower stratosphere following the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo (15.1^oN, 120.4^oE; June 15, 1991) can produce a not negligible perturbation in the stratospheric dynamics. Sulfate aerosols formed by nucleation of H₂SO₄ vapour, which is in turn produced from the SO₂ plume, are responsible for a net heating of the order of 0.15K/day in the equatorial stratosphere, located where the thickest portion of the aerosol cloud is found. As shown by recent satellite data, this diabatic perturbation is responsible for a temperature increase of the order of (2÷3) K at 30m bar during the summer and fall of 1991, that is similar to what found for the 1982 eruption of El Chichón. In this work we use a stratospheric three-dimensional model to investigate the dynamical response of the middle atmosphere to this diabatic forcing. Few months after the eruption, change in the diabatic circulation larger than 10% is found in the lower stratosphere, along with a stronger planetary wave activity during the 1991/92 winter season. This supports some conclusions of a recent investigation by Dunkerton and Delisi on the effects of the 1982 eruption of El Chichón and is shown to have a substantial effect on trace species transport, comparable to that associated to the Quasi-Biennal Oscillation (QBO).     

Nucleation theory for a model bistable chemical reaction

The theory of homogeneous nucleation is developed for a model nonlinear bistable chemical reaction driven far from equilibrium (trimolecular Schlögl model). The theory is restricted to the vicinity of the stable/unstable transition, where the nucleation barrier is small but nonvanishing. The nucleation rates are derived for two types of fluctuations: first, fluctuations due to a homogeneous external white noise source, and second, internal chemical fluctuations, described by a reastion-diffusion multivariate master equation. In the white noise case, a Landau-Ginzburg potential can be defined, and the standard nucleation formalism can be applied; this is not true for the internal case and a new result is used. The inhomogeneous chemical fluctuations, due to the coupling between the nonlinear reaction and diffusion, are shown to have an influence on the nucleation rate. Quantitative conditions are also given to evaluate the possibility of homogeneous nucleation in nonlinear chemical systems.     

Influence of Moon's long-period tide on rainfall in India

Summary The Indian summer monsoon rainfall data for eleven pairs of stations have been subjected to maximum entropy spectral analysis (MESA). The results of the analysis appear to indicate Moon's long-period (18.6y) nodal tidal influence on rainfall. The 10–11 y solar cycle term in rainfall appears to be split up into two components in the spectral results of almost all the stations, as a result of spectral analysis.     

北京一次小震级地震前异常声-重力波产生机理的研究

观测到北京一次小震级地震(ML=3.0)前的异常声-重力波,并同时记录到异常地表倾斜信号。二者相关系数比较高,在接近震中的地区相关系数达到最大值0.5,相关系数随着远离震中的距离增大而减小。经过研究表明,异常声-重力波的产生与震前的地表缓慢活动引发的山体缓慢晃动导致的气流风速波动变化有关。基于350 m高的气象铁塔观测的风速数据,对两层大气模型传播的声-重力波进行了数值计算,得到的相对山体非平稳气流引起的声-重力波与观测信号在特征周期、幅度和速度三个参数上近似。以地表倾斜为例的模型与观测数据的一致性表明该震前声-重力波与地震存在关联性。      

Simulation and evaluation of phase noise for optical amplification using semiconductor optical amplifiers in DPSK applications

A thorough simulation and evaluation of phase noise for optical amplification using semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is very important for predicting its performance in differential phase-shift keyed (DPSK) applications. In this paper, standard deviation and probability distribution of differential phase noise at the SOA output are obtained from the statistics of simulated differential phase noise. By using a full-wave model of SOA, the noise performance in the entire operation range can be investigated. It is shown that nonlinear phase noise substantially contributes to the total phase noise in case of a noisy signal amplified by a saturated SOA and the nonlinear contribution is larger with shorter SOA carrier lifetime. It is also shown that Gaussian distribution can be useful as a good approximation of the total differential phase noise statistics in the whole operation range. Power penalty due to differential phase noise is evaluated using a semi-analytical probability density function (PDF) of receiver noise. Obvious increase of power penalty at high signal input powers can be found for low input OSNR, which is due to both the large nonlinear differential phase noise and the dependence of BER vs. receiving power curvature on differential phase noise standard deviation.     

采用混合模型数值模拟从深海到浅海内波的传播

在南海东沙岛附近, 从MODIS遥感图像发现内波传播是从深海经陆架坡再到浅海, 由于深海和浅海环境条件的差异以及传播模型的适用条件不同, 因此 不能采用同一模型模拟内波的传播, 需用两种模型来分别模拟内波在深海和浅海中的传播. 采用差分法, 首先用非线性薛定谔方程模拟了深海内波的传播, 然后用EKdV方程模拟了内波在浅海中的继续传播. 模拟结果与实际的MODIS遥感内波图像相符合, 并与应用单一模型模拟结果相比, 混合模型模拟该海区的内波传播更接近遥感实测, 表明了混合模型的合理性.     

Nonlinear dynamics extraction for time-delay systems using modular neural networks synchronization and prediction

It is shown that the nonlinear dynamics of chaotic time-delay systems can be reconstructed using a new type of neural network with two modules: one for nonfeedback part with input data delayed by the embedding time, and a second one for the feedback part with input data delayed by the feedback time. The method is applied to both simulated and experimental data from an electronic analog circuit of the Mackey–Glass system. Better results are obtained for the modular than for feedforward neural networks for the same number of parameters. It is found that the complexity of the neural network model required to reconstruct nonlinear dynamics does not increase with the delay time. Synchronization between the data and the model with diffusive coupling is also achieved. We have also shown by iterating the model from the present point that the dynamics can be predicted with a forecast horizon larger than the feedback delay time.     

A model for symmetries in nonlinear transport

A model for a Rayleigh particle suspended in a rarefied gas in internal equilibrium is constructed. It is shown that the macroscopic evolution of this system can be described by using nonlinear unilateral transfer flows which are gradients of particular scalar functions. These functions are constructed according to a general theory of nonlinear irreversible processes proposed previously by van Kampen.     

Geometric detection of coupling directions by means of inter-system recurrence networks

We introduce a geometric method for identifying the coupling direction between two dynamical systems based on a bivariate extension of recurrence network analysis. Global characteristics of the resulting inter-system recurrence networks provide a correct discrimination for weakly coupled Rössler oscillators not yet displaying generalised synchronisation. Investigating two real-world palaeoclimate time series representing the variability of the Asian monsoon over the last 10,000 years, we observe indications for a considerable influence of the Indian summer monsoon on climate in Eastern China rather than vice versa. The proposed approach can be directly extended to studying K>2$K>2$ coupled subsystems.     

A single-scattering approximation for infrared radiative transfer in limb geometry in the Martian atmosphere

We present a single-scattering approximation for infrared radiative transfer in limb geometry in the Martian atmosphere. It is based on the assumption that the upwelling internal radiation field is dominated by a surface with a uniform brightness temperature. It allows the calculation of the scattering source function for individual aerosol types, mixtures of aerosol types, and mixtures of gas and aerosol. The approximation can be applied in a Curtis-Godson radiative transfer code and is used for operational retrievals from Mars Climate Sounder measurements. Radiance comparisons with a multiple scattering model show good agreement in the mid- and far-infrared although the approximate model tends to underestimate the radiances in realistic conditions of the Martian atmosphere. Relative radiance differences are found to be about 2% in the lowermost atmosphere, increasing to ∼10% in the middle atmosphere of Mars. The increasing differences with altitude are mostly due to the increasing contribution to limb radiance of scattering relative to emission at the colder, higher atmospheric levels. This effect becomes smaller toward longer wavelengths at typical Martian temperatures. The relative radiance differences are expected to produce systematic errors of similar magnitude in retrieved opacity profiles.     

Study on generation mechanism of anomalous acoustic-gravity waves before the 2011 Beijing earthquake(M_L=3.0)

Observation results of abnormal acoustic-gravity waves before a Beijing earthquake(M_L=3.0) are presented.During this period,abnormalities of earth surface tilt variations were also recorded.The cross-correlations between the both values are high,which reach maximal values of 0.5 in the area close to the epicenter.The correlations decrease with increasing distances from the epicenter.It was proposed that generation of the anomalous waves may be associated with the pressure and wind perturbations in the air flow caused by slowly shaking mountains during slow surface motion preceding the earthquake in Beijing.Based on the wind velocity data taken from a 350 m meteorological tower in Beijing,the propagation of ducted acoustic-gravity waves in a two-layer model of the atmosphere was numerically simulated.It is shown that characteristic periods,amplitudes and velocities of the simulated phases which were assumed from non-stationary air flow relative to mountains are approximate to the observed phases.A consistency between the simulated results and observation data indicates that a slow surface motion may be a possible source of the anomalous acoustic-gravity waves observed prior to the earthquake.     

Nonlinear vortex dynamics in open nonequilibrium systems with bulk mass loss and a generation mechanism for tornadoes and typhoons

Based on a general model of nonlinear vortex dynamics in open thermodynamically nonequilibrium systems with bulk or surface mass losses, an analysis is presented of the mechanism of generation of violent atmospheric vortices (tornadoes, typhoons, cyclones) associated with the formation of deep cloud systems by intense condensation of water vapor from moist air cooled below the dew point. Simple particular solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations are found that describe both axisymmetric and nonaxisymmetric incompressible vortex motions involving radial and vertical flows with viscous dissipation vanishing identically everywhere except for a thin shear layer at the boundary of the condensation region. It is shown that the nonlinear convective and local Coriolis forces generated by radial inflow in the presence of a background vorticity due to a global Coriolis force (the Earth’s rotation) accelerate the solid-body rotation in the vortex core either exponentially or in a nonlinear regime of finite-time blow-up. Due to updrafts, such a vortex is characterized by a strong helicity. This mechanism explains a number of observed properties and characteristics of the structure and evolution of tornadoes and typhoons. Upper estimates are found for the kinetic energies of violent atmospheric vortices. It is shown that increase in rotational kinetic energy of atmospheric vortices with constant vortex-core radii is consistent with energy and momentum conservation, because radial inflow continually supplies the required amount of rotational kinetic energy drawn from the ambient atmosphere to an open system.

With the variational-cumulant expansion method, the internal energy and the specific heat of O(3) nonlinear a model is calculated up to the fourth order. The variational parameter is determined by the variational method of first order free energy and accumulation point method respectively. It is shown that a more agreeable internal energy curve and specific heat curve with the MC results can be obtained by the latter.     

Resonant nonlinear interactions between atmospheric waves in the polar summer mesopause region

Data obtained from the mobile SOUSY VHF radar at And(ya/Norway in summer 1987 have been used to study the nonlinear interactions between planetary waves, tides and gravity waves in the polar mesosphere, and the instability of background atmosphere above the mesopause. It is observed that 35-h planetary wave, diurnal, semidiurnal and terdiurnal tides are the prominent perturbations in the Lomb-Scargle spectra of the zonal wind component. By inspecting the frequency combinations, several triads are identified. By bispectral analysis it is shown that most bispectral peaks stand for quadratic coupling between tidal harmonics or between tide and planetary or gravity wave, and the height dependence of bispectral peaks reflects the variation of wave-wave interactions. Above the mesopause, the occurrence heights of the maximum L-S power spectral peaks corresponding to the prominent wave components tend to increase with their frequencies. This may result from the process in which two low frequency waves interact to generate a high frequency wave. Intensities of the planetary wave and tides increase gradually, arrive at their maxima, and then decay quickly in turn with increasing height. This kind of scene correlates with a "chain" of wave-wave resonant interactions that shifts with height from lower frequency segment to higher frequency segment. By instability analysis, it is observed that above the mesopause, the Richardson number becomes smaller and smaller with height, implying that the turbulent motion grows stronger and stronger and accordingly the background atmosphere more and more instable. It is suggested that the wave-wave sum resonant interaction and the wave dissipation due to instability are two dominant dynamical processes that occur in the mesopause region. The former invokes the energy transfer from lower frequency waves to higher frequency waves. The latter results in the heating of the atmosphere and accelerating of the background flow.
