  • TRANSEQUATORIAL V.H.F. TRANSMISSIONS and SOLAR-RELATED PHENOMENA by M
    TRANSEQUATORIAL V.H.F. TRANSMISSIONS AND SOLAR-RELATED PHENOMENA By M. P. HEERAN* and E. H. CARMAN*t [Manuscript received 31 January 1973] Abstract Radio and ionospheric data are analysed to determine the influences of solar­ geophysical phenomena on transequatorial v.h.f. transmissions along a European­ Southern African circuit. Results over six years show a close dependence on sunspot number. The observed correlation with sudden ionospheric disturbances indicates periodic solar-dependent defocusing of transequatorial signals by the ionosphere, while the combined effects of neutral winds and the position of the magnetic equator appear to control the seasonal behaviour of the transmissions. I. INTRODUCTION Long-range (7500 km) v.h.f. transequatorial propagation (TEP) experiments at 34,40, and 45·1 MHz between Athens, Greece (lat. 37·7°N., long. 24·0°E.), and Roma, Lesotho (29.7° S., 27· r E.), have recently been reported by Carman et aZ. (1973).t The 34 and 45·1 MHz c.w. transmissions were propagated for 5 min each hour of the day while the 40 MHz signals originated from the Greek Police FM net­ work. The previous paper contained a detailed discussion of the analysis of fading characteristics and the relationship with electron density profiles, as determined by Alouette and Isis topside sounders, and also included a brief historical survey with references to other reviews. In the present note the same data are analysed with regard to synoptic variation of occurrence and strength of signal, especially in relation to sunspot number and sudden ionospheric disturbance (SID). II. EXPERIMENTAL DATA The basic TEP data observed at Roma are given in Figure 1.

  • June Solstice Activities (PDF)
    ​Arctic Connection Linking Your Place to the MOSAiC Expedition June Solstice Edition Introduction As I write this, it is the June Solstice. The exact moment of solstice occurred a few hours ago, at 21:44 Universal Daylight Time. This was at 1:44 pm today here in Homer, Alaska. This moment marked when Earth’s north pole leaned most toward the sun, and the Earth’s south pole was tilted most away from the sun. On this day, the sun appears directly overhead at local noon for those living at 23.5 degrees north (the Tropic of Cancer), as far north as the sun ever gets. And during the December solstice, the sun appears directly overhead for those living at 23.5 degrees south (the Tropic of Capricorn). (In case you need a refresher, here’s the ​ basic science from Earth & Sky.) ​ In the northern hemisphere, the June Solstice is called the summer solstice and represents the day(s) with the most amount of daylight. I say days because in some parts of the northern hemisphere, the sun has stayed above the horizon for multiple days now and won’t rise again until the next month. This is often called the Midnight Sun, and the ice camp at the Polarstern has been bathed in light for many days. This is good news for the scientists of Leg 4, who are just now arriving to the floe. The extended daylight will help make all of the research tasks a little bit easier than those Leg 1 and Leg 2 researchers who had to work through the Polar Night.

  • Country Profile: Russia Note: Representative
    Country Profile: Russia Introduction Russia, the world’s largest nation, borders European and Asian countries as well as the Pacific and Arctic oceans. Its landscape ranges from tundra and forests to subtropical beaches. It’s famous for novelists Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, plus the Bolshoi and Mariinsky ballet companies. St. Petersburg, founded by legendary Russian leader Peter the Great, features the baroque Winter Palace, now housing part of the Hermitage Museum’s art collection. Extending across the entirety of northern Asia and much of Eastern Europe, Russia spans eleven time zones and incorporates a wide range of environments and landforms. From north west to southeast, Russia shares land borders with Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland (both with Kaliningrad Oblast), Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, China,Mongolia, and North Korea. It shares maritime borders with Japan by the Sea of Okhotsk and the U.S. state of Alaska across the Bering Strait. Note: Representative Map Population The total population of Russia during 2015 was 142,423,773. Russia's population density is 8.4 people per square kilometre (22 per square mile), making it one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world. The population is most dense in the European part of the country, with milder climate, centering on Moscow and Saint Petersburg. 74% of the population is urban, making Russia a highly urbanized country. Russia is the only country 1 Country Profile: Russia in the world where more people are moving from cities to rural areas, with a de- urbanisation rate of 0.2% in 2011, and it has been deurbanising since the mid-2000s.

Calculation of Solar Motion for Localities in the USA. American Journal of Astronomy and Astrophysics. Vol. 9, No. 1, 2021, pp. 1-7. doi: 10.11648/j.ajaa.20210901.11 Received: December 17, 2020; Accepted: December 31, 2020; Published: January 12, 2021 Abstract: Even though the longest day occurs on the June solstice everywhere in the Northern Hemisphere, this is NOT the day of earliest sunrise and latest sunset. Similarly, the shortest day at the December solstice in not the day of latest sunrise and earliest sunset. An analysis combines the vertical change of the position of the Sun due to the tilt of Earth’s axis with the horizontal change which depends on the two factors of an elliptical orbit and the axial tilt. The result is an analemma which shows the position of the noon Sun in the sky. This position is changed into a time at the meridian before or after noon, and this is referred to as the equation of time. Next, a way of determining the time between a rising Sun and its passage across the meridian (equivalent to the meridian to the setting Sun) is shown for a particular latitude. This is then applied to calculate how many days before or after the solstices does the earliest and latest sunrise as well as the latest and earliest sunset occur.

  • Summer Solstice Summer Solstice June 20, 2021 9:32 PM
    Weather Forecast Office Summer Solstice Albuquerque, NM 2021 Updated: June 16, 2021 10:43 PM MDT Summer Solstice June 20, 2021 9:32 PM MDT The Northern Hemisphere summer solstice will occur at 9:32 pm MDT on June 20, 2021. This date marks the official beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere, occurring when Earth arrives at the point in its orbit where the North Pole is at its maximum tilt (about 23.5 degrees) toward the Sun, resulting in the longest day and shortest night of the calendar year. (By longest “day,” we mean the longest period of sunlight hours.) On the day of the June solstice, the Northern Hemisphere receives sunlight at the most direct angle of the year (see the images below). nasa.gov NWS Albuquerque weather.gov/abq Weather Forecast Office Summer Solstice Albuquerque, NM The Seasons Updated: June 16, 2021 10:43 PM MDT We all know that the Earth makes a complete revolution nasa.gov around the sun once every 365 days, following an orbit that is elliptical in shape. This means that the distance between the Earth and Sun, which is 93 million miles on average, varies throughout the year. The top figure on the right illustrates that during the first week in January, the Earth is about 1.6 million miles closer to the sun. This is referred to as the perihelion. The aphelion, or the point at which the Earth is about 1.6 million miles farther away from the sun, occurs during the first week in July. This fact may sound counter to what we know about seasons in the Northern Hemisphere, but actually the difference is not significant in terms of climate and is NOT the reason why we have seasons.

  • A Theoretical Study of the Global F Region for June Solstice, Solar Maximum, and Low Magnetic Activity
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 90, NO. A6, PAGES 5285-5298, JUNE 1, 1985 A Theoretical Study of the Global F Region for June Solstice, Solar Maximum, and Low Magnetic Activity J. J. SOJKA AND R. W. SCHUNK Center for Atmospheric and Space Sciences, Utah State University. Logan We constructed a time-dependent, three-dimensional, multi-ion numerical model of the global ionosphere at F region altitudes. The model takes account of all the processes included in the existing regional models of the ionosphere. The inputs needed for our global model are the neutral temperature, composition, and wind; the magnetospheric and equato ~ ial . electric field distributions; th.e auror!l precipitation pattern; the solar EUV spectrum; and a magnetic field model. The model produces IOn (NO , O ~ , N ~, N+, 0+, He +) density distributions as a function of time. For our first global study, we selected solar maximum. low geomagnetic activity, and June solstice conditions. From this study we found the following: (I) The global ionosphere exhibits an appreciable UT variation, with the largest variation occurring in the southern winter hemisphere; (2) At a given time, Nm F2 varies by almost three orders of magnitude over the globe, with the largest densities (5 x 106 cm-J) occurring in the equatorial region and. t~e lo~est (7. x 10J cm-J) in the southern hemisphere mid-latitude trough; (3) Our Appleton peak charactenstlcs differ shghtly from those obtained in previous model studies owing to our adopted equatorial electric field distribution, but the existing data are not sufficient to resolve the differences between the models; (4) Interhemispheric flow has an appreciable effect on the F region below about 25 0 magnetic la.titude; (5) In the southern wi~ter hemisphere, the mid-latitude trough nearly circles the globe.
