摘要: 利用子午工程富克站(19.5°N, 109.1°E)630 nm气辉成像仪、电离层测高仪、VHF雷达回波强度数据和Dalat地磁台站(11.9°N, 108.5°E; GL:2.5°)、PHU Thuy地磁台站(21.0°N, 105.9°E; GL:11.5°)地磁水平分量数据及ACE卫星的行星际磁场、太阳风速度观测数据,针对2015年3月特大磁暴期间海南上空电离层等离子体泡进行了研究。结果显示,磁暴前后均观测到午夜前等离子体泡和日落后电离层底部虚高的抬升现象;磁暴期间电离层底部虚高抬升受显著抑制,富克站未观测到等离子体泡。对行星际电/磁场及地磁水平分量的变化情况的分析表明,磁暴期间电离层翻转前增强(Pre-reversal enhancement, PRE)电场可能先后被西极性过屏蔽穿透电场和扰动发电机电场抑制,导致瑞丽-泰勒不稳定性降低,不利于等离子体泡/电离层不规则体结构的发育。
Abstract: The ionospheric plasma bubbles over Hainan during the super geomagnetic storm in March 2015 are studied using airglow images of 630 nm emission from all-sky imager, digisonde and echo intensity data of Viral Hemorrhagic Fever (VHF) radar over Hainan Fuke Station (19.5°N, 109.1°E) from the Chinese Meridian Project, horizontal magnetic component data from the Dalat geomagnetic station (11.9°N, 108.5°E; GL:2.5°) and PHU Thuy geomagnetic station (21.0°N, 105.9°E; GL:11.5°), and interplanetary magnetic field and solar wind velocity data from the ACE satellite. The results indicate that plasma bubbles before and after magnetic storm are observed during post-sunset hours, along with a uplift of the ionospheric virtual height. During the storm, the uplift of the ionospheric virtual height is significantly suppressed, and no plasma bubbles are detected at the Fuke station. Analysis of the variations in the interplanetary electric/magnetic fields and horizontal geomagnetic components suggests that during the geomagnetic storm, the ionospheric Pre-reversal enhancement electric field is likely suppressed successively by the westward shielding electric field and the disturbance dynamo electric field. This suppression reduced the Rayleigh-Taylor instability, thus inhibiting the development of plasma bubbles/ionospheric irregularity structures.
