In this paper, the seafloor water sample and sediment sample （saturated with pore water） from Shenhu Area of South China Sea were used to synthesize methane hydrates, and the stability conditions of methane hydrates were investigated by multi-step heating dissociation method. Preliminary experimental results show that the dissociation temperature of methane hydrate both in seafloor water and marine sediment, under any given pressure, is depressed by approximately -1.4 K relative to the pure water system. This phenomenon indicates that hydrate stability in marine sediment is mainly affected by pore water ions.展开更多

In this pape...The natural occurrence of methane hydrates in marine sediments has been intensively studied over the past decades, and geochemical charac-teristic of hydrate is one of the most attractive research fields. In this paper, we discussed the geochemical anomaly during hydrate formation in porous media. By doing so, we also investigated the temperature influence on hydrate formation under isobaric condition. It turns out that sub-cooling is an important factor to dominate hydrate formation. Larger subcooling provides more powerful driving force for hydrate formation. During the geochemical anomaly research, six kinds of ions and the total dissolved salt （TDS） were measured before and after the experiment in different porous media. The result is that all kinds of ionic concentration increased after hydrate formation which can be defined as salting out effect mainly affected by gas consumption. But the variation ratio of different ions is not equal. Ca^2＋ seems to be the most significantly influenced one, and its variation ratio is up to 80%. Finally, we theoretically made a model to calculate the TDS variation, the result is in good accordance with measured one, especially when gas consumption is large.展开更多

It is a space weather hazards to Low-EarthOrbit satellites. There has been evidence that the Very Low Frequency(VLF) waves from the powerful ground VLF radio transmitter in Australia, known as NWC, have the capacity to scatter energetic electrons' pitch angle in the inner radiation belt.The scattering directs electrons into the drift loss cone, forms a “wisp”, characterized by its peak intensity outside the South Atlantic Anomaly(SAA), and a “rift” exhibiting minimal intensity within SAA. Our findings mark the initial observation of a“wisp” precipitation, an unusual occurrence with peak intensity detected inside the SAA, observed via the Macao Science Satellite-1. Enabled by the Medium-energy Electron Spectrometer onboard Macao Science Satellite-1, we were able to comprehensively measure the full pitch angle distribution at Low-Earth-Orbit. This allowed us to attribute the “wisp” within the anomaly to a specific pitch angle range just outside the drift loss cone, a measurement unattainable by previous satellites. This“wisp” occurrence aligns with previous model predictions, despite being overlooked. Moreover, we distinguished between the trapped and precipitating electron populations. Directly derived from the ratio of these populations, our analysis revealed that approximately 2%-5% of trapped electrons will be lost in this specific wisp due to the influence of the ground VLF transmitter.Our results not only complement existing evidence of energetic electron pitch angle scattering facilitated by the ground VLF transmitter but also offer a quantitative estimation of its impact.展开更多

In this study, we report two ULF wave events observed by the FY-3E satellite, which are closely associated with magnetospheric substorms, in conjunction with observations from the Swarm satellite. We noticed a significant similarity between the ULF waves recorded by FY-3E and Swarm, indicating that these satellites captured the same wave events. The presence of a 180° phase shift across L shells and an oscillating field aligned Poynting flux suggest that the observed ULF waves exhibit characteristics of field line resonance(FLR).This work also characterizes essential differences in the behavior of ULF pulsations affected by the South Atlantic anomaly(SAA) in comparison to a conjugate region outside. Wave packets in the SAA region exhibit higher amplitudes than the pulsations in the northern hemisphere. This difference is likely influenced by the north-south asymmetry of the geomagnetic field and ionospheric conductivities, which, in turn, control the standing wave structure along the field line.展开更多

文摘On 5 July 2021, the China FY-3E satellite was successfully launched, equipped with instruments to measure ultralow frequency waves(ULF) and charged particle populations deep within the magnetosphere. In this study, we report two ULF wave events observed by the FY-3E satellite, which are closely associated with magnetospheric substorms, in conjunction with observations from the Swarm satellite. We noticed a significant similarity between the ULF waves recorded by FY-3E and Swarm, indicating that these satellites captured the same wave events. The presence of a 180° phase shift across L shells and an oscillating field aligned Poynting flux suggest that the observed ULF waves exhibit characteristics of field line resonance(FLR).This work also characterizes essential differences in the behavior of ULF pulsations affected by the South Atlantic anomaly(SAA) in comparison to a conjugate region outside. Wave packets in the SAA region exhibit higher amplitudes than the pulsations in the northern hemisphere. This difference is likely influenced by the north-south asymmetry of the geomagnetic field and ionospheric conductivities, which, in turn, control the standing wave structure along the field line.

文摘Lightning-generated whistler(LGW)is an important electromagnetic wave in the magnetosphere,causing energetic electron losses.Here we analyze the LGW distribution and propagation using Van Allen Probes data and ray-tracing simulation.The statistics show that LGW occurs more frequently at L<2.5 with higher amplitudes in the northern hemisphere.The Poynting flux demonstrates that LGW originates from both hemispheres within L~2.5,and propagates into the space as the wave power decays.The wave normal angle distributions indicate that LGW propagates quasi-parallel to the field line near its source and becomes oblique as the magnetic latitude decreases.Furthermore,we use the ray-tracing model to simulate the LGW propagation,and statistically analyze the propagation characteristics of LGW,which are consistent with the observational data.This paper presents the latitudinal distribution and propagation properties of LGW based on statistics for the first time,providing new insights into the LGW generation and evolution in the magnetosphere.
