Title A study of the dusk convection cell's response to an IMF southward turning Type Journal Article
Year 2002 Publication Journal of geophysical research-atmospheres Abbreviated Journal J. Geophys. Res.

Abstract One example of the response of ionospheric convection and the polar cap boundary to a sudden change in the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) orientation has been studied by using ground magnetometers, the Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN), and Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) particle detectors when the IMF suddenly changed from northward (+6 nT) to strongly southward (?19 nT) at 1716 UT on 5 September 1995. The Bz component was fairly constant for ?2 hours before and ?25 min after the sudden IMF change. The convection flow changed almost simultaneously over a global extent. This initial change of the convection pattern can be characterized by a sudden formation of a large flow vortex in the afternoon sector. This agrees with the earlier findings by Ruohoniemi and Greenwald [1998] and Ridley et al. [1998]. On the other hand, the response of the polar cap boundary (or its proxy) is more complicated. The Saskatoon radar, located in the late morning sector, observed an equatorward shift of the cusp scatter region simultaneously with the initial response of the convection flows. The DMSP particle data also showed a simultaneous equatorward expansion of the auroral oval in the 2100 magnetic local time (MLT) sector. The radar and particle data indicate the immediate equatorward expansion of the precipitation regions in the noon and premidnight sectors. About 10–20 min after the initial change, there were changes observed in the dusk region, namely, an equatorward expansion of the current reversal boundary observed by the Greenland magnetometer chain in the dusk sector between 1740 and 1750 UT and an equatorward expansion of the convection reversal boundary detected by the Stokkseyri, Halley, and Syowa radars. The delayed responses were observed 18-8 min before a substorm onset was recorded at midlatitude stations at 1756 UT. These observations indicate that there were two kinds of ionospheric responses to the southward turning of the IMF; the first response is the formation of the convection vortex and the equatorward shift of the polar cap boundary at noon and at ?2100 MLT, and the second response is the equatorward expansion of the convection reversal boundary in the dusk sector. We make the case that the first response is associated with the propagation of magnetosonic waves and that the second response is consistent with the Cowley and Lockwood [1992] picture of the redistribution of the newly created open flux in the polar cap region.

Title Low-pressure dependency of the isotopic enrichment in ozone: Stratospheric implications Type Journal Article
Year 2002 Publication Journal of geophysical research-atmospheres Abbreviated Journal J. Geophys. Res.
Volume (down) 107 Issue Pages
Keywords 1040 Geochemistry: Isotopic composition/chemistry; 4852 Oceanography: Biological and Chemical: Photochemistry
Abstract Stratospheric ozone is enriched in the heavy isotopes (17O and 18O) relative to the ambient oxygen from which it is formed. This enrichment varies with altitude, attaining very high values between 30 and 40 km. A recent theory of Y. Q. Gao and R. A. Marcus explores the reasons for isotopic enrichment in the process of ozone formation and is particularly useful to understand the laboratory results. The stratospheric variations are sought to be explained in terms of temperature dependence of isotopic enrichment, but the magnitude of variation does not match with predictions accurately. We demonstrate here that isotopic enrichment in ozone generated by oxygen photolysis depends on the pressure of the oxygen reservoir and can have very high values (at about 15 torr), comparable to the highest observed stratospheric values. Analysis of the data shows that secondary enrichment through ozone dissociation can add to the primary enrichment associated with ozone formation. The effect of dissociation is found to be more pronounced in the pressure range of 15 to 50 torr, resulting in high enrichment. It is shown that the relative kinetics, pressure and temperature conditions of ozone formation and dissociation play an important role in determining the ultimate value of the enrichment. The results are particularly useful to understand the stratospheric data and resolve the observed discrepancy.

Title Effect of density on electrical conductivity of chemically laden polar ice Type Journal Article
Year 2002 Publication Journal of geophysical research-atmospheres Abbreviated Journal J. Geophys. Res.
Volume (down) 107 Issue Pages
Keywords 0634 Electromagnetics: Measurement and standards; 1863 Hydrology: Snow and ice; 1894 Hydrology: Instruments and techniques; 9310 Information Related to Geographic Region: Antarctica
Abstract Electrical conductivity measurements made using the dielectric profiling technique (DEP) are compared to chemical data from the top 350 m of the Dome C ice core in Antarctica. The chemical data are used to calculate the concentration of the major acidic impurities in the core: sulphuric acid and hydrochloric acid. The conductivity coefficients in solid ice for sulphuric acid (?H2SO4) and hydrochloric acid (?HCl) are found to be 4.9 and 4.5 S m?1M?1. These are consistent with previously found values for the acid conductivity coefficient at different sites and suggest that the same conductivity mechanisms are important in all polar ice. A method of rolling regression analysis is used to find the variation of the pure ice conductivity (?? pure) and the conductivity coefficient of sulphuric acid, ?H2SO4, with depth. Then ?? pure and ?H2SO4are assessed against changes in core density and hence volume fraction of ice, v, due to the inclusion of air bubbles in the firn. Looyenga's model for dielectric mixtures applied to conduction in firn broadly predicts the variation observed in ?? purebut does not fit well for ice above 110 m. A previous application of the theory of percolation in random lattices is used to model the conductivity coefficient in firn. The coefficient ?H2SO4 is linked to vby the power law: ?H2SO4(v) ? ?H2SO4(1) (v ? vc)t; where vc is a threshold volume fraction below which no conduction can take place and is related to the geometry of the conducting lattice being modeled. The value of the exponent tis also dependent on the structure of the lattice and is here found to be t = 2.5, which is slightly lower than the previously obtained value of t = 2.7 for a structure where each grain has between 14 and 16 nearest neighbors. This model is consistent with the concept of conduction, via liquid H2SO4, taking place at two grain boundaries for firn. The model does not, however, preclude conduction taking place via acid situated at three grain boundaries or in an interconnected vein network at densities above 640 kg m?3.
