2022年1月15日汤加火山发生了剧烈的喷发。在火山喷发后的8 h 39 min,距离火山喷发位置10151 km的昆明次声台阵记录到很强的次声波信号。次声波波列前几个周期平均为443 s,传播速度约为321 m/s,其波形幅度与频率随时间变化与核爆炸产生的次声波形相似。采用相关检测方法估计次声信号的方位角为119°。在持续监测中,还观测到了火山喷发产生的次声信号沿反方向绕地球到达的信号和沿正方向绕地球一周后再次到达的信号。      

大气中一种低频次声波观测研究

分析大气中存在的一种低频次声波。利用宽频带次声测量传感器阵列组成的广域分布网络,对此种次声波进行了近5年不间断的检测。对所测次声信号的观察统计发现,它与自然事件密切相关。对这种信号波形、频谱、时频图及相关性进行分析进一步发现,该波通常以一组或间歇性多组形式出现,频率主要在0.001~0.02 Hz之间、幅度一般可达50~200 Pa。在2008年3月20日新疆于田地震、2008年5月12日四川汶川地震以及2009年10月29日陕甘川三省交界处的地震前,均检测到了大幅值的低频次声波。本文的分析结论对研究大气次声波的多样性及其与自然现象的关系提供了新的参考,对地震信息探测具有一定的实际意义。

Joint seismic-infrasonic processing of recordings from a repeating source of atmospheric explosions

A database has been established of seismic and infrasonic recordings from more than 100 well-constrained surface explosions, conducted by the Finnish military to destroy old ammunition. The recorded seismic signals are essentially identical and indicate that the variation in source location and magnitude is negligible. In contrast, the infrasonic arrivals on both seismic and infrasound sensors exhibit significant variation both with regard to the number of detected phases, phase travel times, and phase amplitudes, which would be attributable to atmospheric factors. This data set provides an excellent database for studies in sound propagation, infrasound array detection, and direction estimation.     

Disturbances of the upper atmosphere and ionosphere caused by acoustic-gravity wave sources in the lower atmosphere

The results of observations of acoustic-gravity waves in the troposphere and the ionosphere at middle latitudes during periods of passage of the solar terminator are presented. Tropospheric observations were performed using a lidar. The frequency characteristics of variations of the tropospheric parameters are determined based on observations of the intensity of the scattered lidar signal. The characteristics of variations of the total electron content (TEC) in the atmosphere are determined from data collected by GPS navigation satellites. An analysis of the observational data showed that the spectrum of variations of the atmospheric and ionospheric parameters is indicative of acoustic-gravity waves (AGW) propagating from the lower atmosphere. Modeling studies of the vertical propagation of AGW from the Earth’s surface showed that such waves quickly (within ~15 min) reach altitudes of the upper atmosphere (~300 km). The refraction and dissipation of waves in the upper atmosphere produces perturbations of the background state of the atmosphere and gives rise to the waveguide propagation of infrasonic wave components. The observed manifestations of TEC disturbances caused by AGW propagating from the lower atmosphere can be explained by the diurnal variation of the altitude of the ionosphere and the waveguide propagation of infrasonic waves.     

Method and results of estimating acoustic characteristics of bottom-sediment upper layers in the shelf region using seismic exploration instruments

The potential of seismic exploration instruments for estimating the surface layers of soil in the towing zone of an extended multielement array is investigated. In contrast to the well-known method of common depth point, in which the main estimated parameters are the transit times of waves reflected from deep layers of the sea bottom, two-dimensional spectral analysis is used to measure the longitudinal wavenumbers of the modes forming an infrasonic field in the water layer. The measured longitudinal wavenumbers of modes serve initial data for estimating the acoustic characteristics of the upper layers of bottom sediments directly in the towing zone of pulse emitter and extended multielement array. It is concluded that the use of data on the parameters of upper soil layers in seismic exploration should increase the accuracy of contouring oil and gas condensate fields.

Responses of the Ionosphere to the Great Sumatra Earthquake and Volcanic Eruption of Pinatubo

A sudden ionospheric disturbance was detected by the Doppler shift sounding equipment at Beijing, about 25 min later after the outbreak of the Sumatra earthquake on 26 December 2004. This ionospheric disturbance appeared less than lOmin after the earthquake was first recorded at Beijing seismological station by the arrival of the seismic Rayleigh wave. The analysis shows that about 18rain is the time necessary for the seismic Rayleigh wave to propagate from the epicentre to Beijing and then about 5-10min for acoustic waves to propagate from the surface of the Beijing area to the altitude of the ionosphere. Also, a report was made as another example to show the ionospheric response of Doppler shift observation at Beijing area during the Mount Pinatubo eruption of 1991. These two examples show clear evidence of the lithosphere-atmosphere-ionosphere coupling. The former case is in the frequency domain of infrasonic waves of the Earth surface oscillation due to the Rayleigh waves caused by the earthquake, while the latter is in the acoustic-gravity wave category directly excited in the atmosphere by the mass and energy eruptions of Mount Pinatubo.     

强地震的前兆次声波研究

利用在北京昌平安装的次声三点阵,对强地震前兆次声波进行了5年的连续观测。统计分析结果表明:强震前约10天内常能测到振幅很强的前兆次声。其三维动态频谱的特点是,振幅由弱逐渐加强,达到极值后变弱;先为长周期波(10-20分),紧跟着短周期波(5-10分),然后又出现更长的周期波,最后长短周期波一起出现。提前时间与三点阵到震中距离之间没有明显的关系,与震级之间也没有明显的关系。     

Observations of Acoustic Gravity Waves during the Solar Eclipse of March 20, 2015 in Kaliningrad

Results of observations of atmospheric and ionospheric parameters during the solar eclipse of March 20, 2015 have been described. The observations have been conducted by lidar sensing in the lower atmosphere and analysis of the total electron content (TEC) in the ionosphere in Kaliningrad. Observations at the troposphere altitudes have been conducted using an atmospheric lidar. Ionospheric parameter TEC has been determined according to observations of navigation satellite signals. The spectral analysis of the monitored parameters during the solar eclipse has shown that, in the lower atmosphere and the ionosphere in a period range of 2–20 min, internal gravity waves (IGWs) and infrasonic waves are excited. During the main phase of the eclipse, the major contribution to variations in the parameters of the medium comes from infrasonic vibrations. Changes in the variations in the atmospheric and ionospheric parameters with IGW periods are observed only in the initial and final phases of the eclipse.     

Internal waves of free charge carriers in semiconductors

We show that internal waves that are similar to internal gravity waves in the ocean can propagate in semiconductors with a gradient of free charge carrier concentration. Unlike internal gravity waves in the ocean, which are observed at infrasonic frequencies, the waves under consideration are excited in the microwave range, which opens up interesting possibilities for creating new types of electron devices. In the nonlinear rigime such waves assume the form of solitons described by the KdV equation. State Technical University, Ul’yanovsk, Russia.

Modeling the spectrum of infrasonic hydroacoustic radiation generated by the sea surface under storm conditions

Generation of infrasonic radiation into a water medium by sea surface waves is analyzed. The analysis is carried out for the situation in which the infrasound is generated by surface waves with frequencies close to those of dominant waves. The presence of two wave systems on the sea surface is assumed: swell and wind waves. It is shown that if the frequencies of spectral peaks of wind waves and swell diverge by 20%, the maximum value of the radiation spectrum decreases by approximately 40% (if the general directions of the two wave systems are oriented strictly towards each other). A deviation of the general directions of the two wave systems from the opposite direction by 45° leads to a decrease in the maximum value of the radiation spectrum by more than two times.

次声波在非均匀运动大气中非线性传播特性的研究

基于有限时域差分方法将大气中近似到二阶的非线性波动方程进行离散化,得到了数值模拟所采用的差分方程. 在此基础上,对线阵列辐射的脉冲声波在非均匀运动大气中的垂直和斜向传播进行了二维数值模拟,模拟了武汉地区(114:20°E, 30:37°N)在夏季和冬季UT=29000 s时开始传播的脉冲声波在不同时刻的声压分布. 模拟时通过采用Msise00和HWM93 两个大气模型,考虑了由于大气温度和密度变化以及大气风场存在所引起的大气不均匀性和运动性. 通过研究上述两季有风与无风条件下的声压差值p_r,可以发现:风场对次声波在传播中声压分布的影响较大;由于不同季节和不同传播距离上"有效声速"的不同,导致了两季p_r分布波形存在差异;风场对声波非线性传播的影响要远大于其对线性传播的影响. 关键词： 次声波传播 非均匀运动大气 有效声速

Time reversal versus phase conjugation in a multiple scattering environment

We present experimental results on the reversibility of ultrasound in a multiple scattering medium. An ultrasonic pulsed wave is transmitted from a point source to a 128-element receiving array through 2D samples with various thickness. The samples consist of random collections of parallel steel rods immersed in water. The scattered waves are recorded, time reversed and sent back into the medium. The time-reversed waves are converging back to their source and the quality of spatial and temporal focusing on the source is related to the second-order moments of the scattered wave (correlation) in time and in space. Experimental results show that it is possible to obtain a robust estimation of the correlations on a single realisation of disorder, taking advantage of the wide frequency bandwidth. The spatial resolution of the system is only limited by the correlation length of the scattered field, and no longer by diffraction. Moreover, successful time-reversal focusing using a single element instead of an array is possible, whereas a one-channel monochromatic phase conjugation fails. The efficiency of broad-band time reversal compared to monochromatic phase conjugation lies in the number of 'information grains' in the frequency bandwidth.
