作为高层大气模拟代理的天气太阳射电观测

Synoptic solar radio observations as proxies for upper atmosphere modelling

Thierry Dudok de Wit, Sean Bruinsma, Kiyoto Shibasaki

摘要:

高层大气的规格强烈依赖于太阳代理,可以正确地再现太阳能量输入的紫外线。虽然在10.7厘米(也称为F10.7指数)的微波通量已被常规用作太阳代理,我们表明,在其他波长的无线电通量提供了宝贵的补充信息,提高其价值的高层大气建模。我们将来自不同天文台的每日观测结果合并为一个单一的均匀数据集,这些数据集的波长为30、15、10.7、8和3.2厘米,时间跨度为1957年至今。使用盲源分离(BSS),我们表明,他们的旋转调制包含三个贡献,这可以解释在热韧致辐射和陀螺共振发射。后者占F10.7指数旋转变异的90%。大多数太阳代理,如MgII指数,是非常好的重建简单的线性组合的无线电通量在不同的波长。30厘米处的通量是一个很好的替代指标,比F10.7指数更适合于模拟热层-电离层系统,这很可能是因为它从热韧致辐射中得到了更强的贡献。这种更好的性能说明在这里通过观察到的热层密度之间的比较,和重建的阻力温度模型。

英文摘要:

The specification of the upper atmosphere strongly relies on solar proxies that can properly reproduce the solar energetic input in the UV. Whilst the microwave flux at 10.7 cm (also called F10.7 index) has been routinely used as a solar proxy, we show that the radio flux at other wavelengths provides valuable complementary information that enhances their value for upper atmospheric modelling. We merged daily observations from various observatories into a single homogeneous data set of fluxes at wavelengths of 30, 15, 10.7, 8 and 3.2 cm, spanning from 1957 to today. Using blind source separation (BSS), we show that their rotational modulation contains three contributions, which can be interpreted in terms of thermal bremsstrahlung and gyro-resonance emissions. The latter account for 90% of the rotational variability in the F10.7 index. Most solar proxies, such as the MgII index, are remarkably well reconstructed by simple linear combination of radio fluxes at various wavelengths. The flux at 30 cm stands out as an excellent proxy and is better suited than the F10.7 index for the modelling the thermosphere-ionosphere system, most probably because it receives a stronger contribution from thermal bremsstrahlung. This better performance is illustrated here through comparison between the observed thermospheric density, and reconstructions by the Drag Temperature Model.
