计算高能量cosmic ray引起的大气电离和大气化学变化的表格
Lookup tables to compute high energy cosmic ray induced atmospheric ionization and changes in atmospheric chemistry
摘要:
诸如伽马射线暴和超新星等各种事件可能使地球暴露于更大通量的高能宇宙射线之下,对生物圈具有潜在的重要影响。现有的大气化学软件没有能力纳入10 GeV以上的大量宇宙射线通量的影响。本文采用美国宇航局戈达德空间飞行中心的二维(纬度、高度)时变大气模式(NGSFC),研究大气化学变化。使用CORSIKA,我们已经创建了表格,可用于计算高能宇宙射线(10 GeV - 1 PeV)引起的大气电离,也可以使用NGSFC代码,可用于模拟由此产生的大气化学变化。我们将讨论这些表、它们的用途、弱点和优点。
英文摘要:
A variety of events such as gamma-ray bursts and supernovae may expose the Earth to an increased flux of high-energy cosmic rays, with potentially important effects on the biosphere. Existing atmospheric chemistry software does not have the capability of incorporating the effects of substantial cosmic ray flux above 10 GeV . An atmospheric code, the NASA-Goddard Space Flight Center two-dimensional (latitude, altitude) time-dependent atmospheric model (NGSFC), is used to study atmospheric chemistry changes. Using CORSIKA, we have created tables that can be used to compute high energy cosmic ray (10 GeV - 1 PeV) induced atmospheric ionization and also, with the use of the NGSFC code, can be used to simulate the resulting atmospheric chemistry changes. We discuss the tables, their uses, weaknesses, and strengths.
