Journal articleHaigh JD, Blackburn M, 2006,
Solar influences on dynamical coupling between the stratosphere and troposphere
, SPACE SCI REV, Vol: 125, Pages: 331-344We use a simplified atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) to investigate the response of the lower atmosphere to thermal perturbations in the lower stratosphere. The results show that generic heating of the lower stratosphere tends to weaken the sub-tropical jets and the tropospheric mean meridional circulations. The positions of the jets, and the extent of the Hadley cells, respond to the distribution of the stratospheric heating, with low latitude heating displacing them poleward, and uniform heating displacing them equatorward. The patterns of response to the low latitude heating are similar to those found to be associated with solar variability in previous observational data analysis, and to the effects of varying solar UV radiation in sophisticated AGCMs. In order to investigate the chain of causality involved in converting the stratospheric thermal forcing to a tropospheric climate signal we conduct an experiment which uses an ensemble of model spin-ups to analyse the time development of the response to an applied stratospheric perturbation. We find that the initial effect of the change in static stability at the tropopause is to reduce the eddy momentum flux convergence in this region. This is followed by a vertical transfer of the momentum forcing anomaly by an anomalous mean circulation to the surface, where it is partly balanced by surface stress anomalies. The unbalanced part drives the evolution of the vertically integrated zonal flow. We conclude that solar heating of the stratosphere may produce changes in the circulation of the troposphere even without any direct forcing below the tropopause. We suggest that the impact of the stratospheric changes on wave propagation is key to the mechanisms involved.

Comparative Cluster/Double Star observations of the high and low latitude dayside magnetopause
, Pages: 393-400, ISSN: 0379-6566The launch of the Double Star mission has provided the opportunity to monitor events at distinct locations on the dayside magnetopause, in coordination with the quartet of Cluster spacecraft. We present results of two such coordinated studies. In the first, 6 April 2004, both Cluster and the Double Star TC-1 spacecraft were on outbound transits through the dawn-side magnetosphere. Cluster observed northward moving FTEs with +/- polarity, whereas TC-1 saw -/+ polarity FTEs. The strength, motion and occurrence of the FTE signatures changes somewhat according to changes in IMF clock angle. These observations are consistent with ongoing reconnection on the dayside magnetopause, resulting in a series of flux transfer events (FTEs) seen both at Cluster and TC-1. The observed polarity and motion of each FTE signature advocates the existence of an active reconnection region consistently located between the positions of Cluster and TC-1, lying north and south of the reconnection line, respectively. This scenario is supported by the application of a model, designed to track flux tube motion, to conditions appropriate for the prevailing interplanetary conditions. The results from the model confirm the observational evidence that the low-latitude FTE dynamics is sensitive to changes in convected upstream conditions. In particular, changing the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) clock angle in the model predicts that TC-1 should miss the resulting FTEs more often than Cluster, as is observed. For the second conjunction, on the 4 Jan 2005, the Cluster and TC-1 spacecraft all exited the dusk-side magnetosphere almost simultaneously, with TC-1 lying almost equatorial and Cluster at northern latitudes at about 4 R<inf>E</inf> from TC-1. The spacecraft traverse the magnetopause during a strong reversal in the IMF from northward to southward and a number of magnetosheath FTE signatures are subsequently observed. One coordinated FTE, studied in detail by Pu et al, [this is

Comparison of ulf waves at magnetopause crossings at different latitudes, as seen by the cluster and double star staff experiments
, Pages: 191-197, ISSN: 0379-6566Strong ULF wave activity has been observed at magnetopause crossings since a long time. Those turbulent like waves are possibly one of the contributors to particle penetration from the Solar Wind to the Magnetosphere through the magnetopause. STAFF Wave experiments onboard Cluster and Double Star TC1 spacecraft permit the comparison of those waves during coordinated crossings, at the same local time, but at different latitude, the TC1 Double Star orbit being nearly equatorial and the Cluster one polar. From a first analysis of simultaneous Cluster and DSP data sets in the first half of year 2004, 21 coordinated magnetopause crossings have been identified, i.e. within less than 3 hours, out of which 16 are within one hour time delay. Some characteristics of the ULF wave data in the vicinity of these crossings are compared, as wave power and frequency spectra power law. Similarities and differences are discussed at the light of solar wind parameters, latitude, local time or time delay between the crossings. These results first confirm the relation between the solar wind pressure and the ULF wave power. They indicate that in most of the cases, the wave power measured by Double Star is stronger than the one measured by the Cluster spacecraft., whereas no local time dependence has been found. If those first results were to be confirmed, it could imply a predominant role of the equatorial plane in the solar wind/ magnetosphere coupling via ULF wave turbulence, with no preference for the sub-solar region.

The status of cluster FGM data submissions to the CAA
, Pages: 461-464, ISSN: 0379-6566The FGM contribution to the Cluster Active Archive consists of 3 main magnetic field data products and a set of auxiliary data products. The three primary magnetic field data products contain the magnetic field in GSE coordinates at three different time resolutions. The first data product has full resolution data which can be at 22Hz or 67Hz depending on the mode of the instrument. The second data product has data at 5Hz and the third data product at spin resolution. All data products are validated for scientific use. Presented here is an outline of the procedure used to create these data products. A description of the calibration techniques used to produce the required calibration files is also set out as this forms a major part of the production procedure. In addition the present status of data products submitted to the CAA is presented along with a projection of what will be submitted in the near future.
