摘要
OI 630.0 nm 的气辉发射变化提供了有关 250 km 左右高层大气动态变化的重要信息。发射率随环境电子密度和与这些发射有关的中性成分的变化而变化。从印度经度的低纬度地点阿布山(24.6°N,72.7°E,19°N Mag)测得的数据显示,在日落后的时间段,即当地时间 21 点左右,这些辐射有几次被观测到增强。这些增强发生在日落后发射强度典型的单调下降之后。早先的一项研究表明,在日落后赤道风停止和逆转之前存在的极地经向风,是观测到的这种发射增强的原因。在本研究中,利用热大气层-电离层张力全大气层群气候模式(WACCM-X)模拟的电子密度和经向风的变化,研究了日落后经向风逆转的原因,该模式也显示出与日落后 OI 630.0 nm 夜光发射中观测到的类似的电子密度增强,以及同时出现的经向风逆转。从 WACCM-X 经向风获得的潮汐不同成分的振幅和相位显示,高阶潮汐,特别是四分之一日潮,对日落后经向风的观测逆转有重要作用。
OI 630.0 nm Post-Sunset Emission Enhancement as an Effect of Tidal Activity Over Low-Latitudes
The OI 630.0 nm airglow emission variability provides salient information on the dynamical changes taking place in the upper atmosphere at around 250 km. The emission rates vary with the changes in the ambient electron densities and the neutral constituents that are associated with these emissions. On several occasions, enhancements in these emissions are observed during post-sunset hours, around 21 local time (LT), as measured from Mt. Abu (24.6°N, 72.7°E, 19°N Mag), a low-latitude location at Indian longitudes. These enhancements occur following the typical monotonic decrease in emission intensity after sunset. The presence of poleward meridional wind preceded by cessation and reversal of equatorward wind at the post-sunset hours was shown to be the cause for such observed emission enhancements in an earlier study. In this study, the cause of such reversal in meridional winds during post-sunset hours has been investigated using the variation in electron densities and meridional winds simulated by the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model with thermosphere-ionosphere eXtension (WACCM-X), which also shows enhancements in electron densities similar to those observed in the post-sunset OI 630.0 nm nightglow emissions, and simultaneous reversal in meridional winds as well. The amplitudes and phases of different components of tides obtained from WACCM-X meridional winds reveal a significant contribution of higher-order tides, especially, quarter-diurnal tides, to the observed reversal in the meridional winds during post-sunset hours.
