摘要:

模拟太阳光谱辐照度的变化是了解太阳对地球气候影响的关键因素。作为计算太阳光谱辐照度变化的第一步,我们在宽波长范围内重现了安静太阳的太阳光谱,重点是紫外线。介绍了计算非局域热力学平衡条件下太阳合成光谱的辐射转移程序COSI。一个自洽的同时解决方案的辐射转移和统计方程的水平人口保证正确的物理被认为是波长区域的假设局部热力学平衡(LTE)打破。提出了迭代不透明度分布函数(NLTE-ODF)的新概念,将所有谱线不透明度都纳入NLTE辐射转移计算中。我们表明,它是必不可少的,包括线不透明度的辐射转移再现太阳光谱的紫外线。通过NLTE-ODF的实现方案,COSI码成功地再现了宁静太阳的光谱能量分布。

英文摘要:

Modeling the variability of the solar spectral irradiance is a key factor for understanding the solar influence on the climate of the Earth. As a first step to calculating the solar spectral irradiance variations we reproduce the solar spectrum for the quiet Sun over a broad wavelength range with an emphasis on the UV. We introduce the radiative transfer code COSI which calculates solar synthetic spectra under conditions of non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE). A self-consistent simultaneous solution of the radiative transfer and the statistical equation for the level populations guarantees that the correct physics is considered for wavelength regions where the assumption of local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) breaks down. The new concept of iterated opacity distribution functions (NLTE-ODFs), through which all line opacities are included in the NLTE radiative transfer calculation, is presented. We show that it is essential to include the line opacities in the radiative transfer to reproduce the solar spectrum in the UV. Through the implemented scheme of NLTE-ODFs the COSI code is successful in reproducing the spectral energy distribution of the quiet Sun.
