摘要/Abstract

摘要： 利用2005—2010年DEMETER卫星记录NWC发射站的19.8kHz电场功率谱数据,采用统计和线性拟合等方法,研究了NWC站发射的电磁波在顶部电离层及磁共轭区激发的电场效应及其在不同方位的衰减特性。结果发现:(1)在NWC发射站上空,卫星记录电场呈椭圆状扩散分布,电场最强中心点位置相对地面人工源位置有一定偏移;(2)研究区上空电场北部衰减梯度最小,东部衰减梯度最大;(3)在其磁共轭区,南部电场衰减梯度最小,北部衰减梯度最大。综合分析认为人工源(NWC)发射的VLF电磁波传播到电离层高度后,受地磁场影响,电磁波主要沿磁力线方向传播,空间电场最强中心点位置相对发射站的位置发生偏移,向磁赤道方向倾斜,而且偏于磁赤道方向的电场衰减梯度最小。

Abstract: Based on power spectral density data of electric field at 19.8kHz recorded by the DEMETER satellite during 2005—2010from NWC transmitter in Australia,the spatial distribution of the electric field at topside ionosphere and its magnetic conjugate region excited by NWC and its attenuation features at different directions by using statistical analysis and linear fitting methods are studied.The results show that,(1)at the topside ionosphere above NWC,the electric field recorded by satellite exhibits elliptical dispersion,and the position of maximal electric field center drifts to north and east relative to NWC;(2)the attenuation gradient in northern direction studied region is the smallest in four directions,and the east one is the largest;(3)at magnetic conjugate region,the attenuation gradient at south direction is the smallest,but the north one is the highest. The comprehensive analysis illustrates that,when the VLF electromagnetic wave from NWC transmitter penetrates into ionosphere,it will be controlled by geomagnetic field and mainly propagates along the magnetic power line,so the maximal center of electric field will drift to magnetic equator,and the attenuation gradient at equator-ward direction will be the smallest.
