THE STATISTICAL DISPERSION CHARACTERISTICS OF MEDIUM-SCALE TRAVELINGIONOSPHERIC DISTURBANCES OBSERVED AT MILLSTONE HILL

摘要: 利用Millstone Hill(288.5E,42.6N)地区的数字测高仪漂移模观测数据,统计分析了中尺度电离层行扰(TID)的色散特性.分析结果表明,该地区的TID在扰动频率-相速度平面的分布中存在若干明显的扰动出现率峰值.比较相应的理论研究结果发现,观测到的TID大都可以用不同的受导重力波传播模式加以解释: 频率较高的TID可以用地面和热层底部维持的各阶完全制导模解释,频率相对较低的TID可以用传统理论给出的由热层底部陡峭的温度梯度维持的L1模和我们新近提出的由热层背景风场所维持的各阶导管模解释.Abstract: The dispersion character of medium-scale Travelling Ionospheric Disturbances (TIDs) observed at Millstone Hill (288.5°E, 42.6°N) is statistically studied. The result shows that, on frequency-velocity plane, there exist several peaks of TIDs occurrences. Further analysis shows that the observed dispersion characteristics matches the theoretical dispersion relations of guided gravity waves. That is to say some high frequency TIDs, may be interpreted as the fully guided waves between the ground and the bottom of thermsphere, and the low frequency TIDs may be related to guided waves L1, W1 and W4.
