太阳风湍流和AU、AL和AE指数的标度

Scaling of solar wind epsilon and the AU, AL and AE indices

摘要:

我们应用有限尺寸标度技术来量化的统计特性的波动,在AU,AL和AE指数和在代表能量输入的太阳风到磁层中的ESTA参数。我们发现,指数需要重新调整的概率密度函数(PDF)的波动是相同的实验误差范围内的所有四个量。这种自相似性持续时间尺度高达约4小时的AU,AL和ESTA和高达约2小时的AE。比这些更短的时间尺度上的波动被发现有类似的长尾(leptokurtic)PDF,与底层的湍流过程相一致。这些定量和模型无关的结果放置在耦合太阳风-磁层系统的模型的重要限制。

英文摘要:

We apply the finite size scaling technique to quantify the statistical properties of fluctuations in AU, AL and AE indices and in the epsilon parameter that represents energy input from the solar wind into the magnetosphere. We find that the exponents needed to rescale the probability density functions (PDF) of the fluctuations are the same to within experimental error for all four quantities. This self-similarity persists for time scales up to ~4 hours for AU, AL and epsilon and up to ~2 hours for AE. Fluctuations on shorter time scales than these are found to have similar long-tailed (leptokurtic) PDF, consistent with an underlying turbulent process. These quantitative and model-independent results place important constraints on models for the coupled solar wind-magnetosphere system.
