    Subjects: Other Disciplines >> Synthetic discipline submitted time 2023-03-28 Cooperative journals: 《中国科学院院刊》

    Abstract: Major achievements of space science and technology are important symbols of a country’s scientific and technological level and ability. The basic consensus of the aerospace community is that China’s space technology has been well-developed, space applications need to be strengthened, and space science is relatively the less-developed. Thus, it is extremely urgent for China to build a strong country in space science and tackle the “bottleneck”. Here we elaborate the internal logic among the strength of S&T, aerospace, and space science, expound the connotation of space science strength, investigate the index system, and suggest the three-tier system scientifically for the first time. On this basis, this study analyzes China’s world position, finds the main gap, and puts forward several suggestions for its future development. Although this outcome indicates that China is in the third place in global space science, it should not be over interpreted. On the contrary, the core aim lies in that we should accelerate the development of space science with 15% growth of the national space science investment in the limited time window period of the next 15~30 years, and build up the leading space science and accomplish major original breakthroughs, the primary sign of China as an aerospace strength and S&T strength in the middle of 21st century.

  • From Fusion of Research and Teaching to Leading of Science—Strategy to Build Planetary Science Program with Chinese Characteristics

    Subjects: Other Disciplines >> Synthetic discipline submitted time 2023-03-28 Cooperative journals: 《中国科学院院刊》

    Abstract: Planetary science is a new and interdisciplinary discipline, which was established during the first upsurge of the international deep space explorations in 1960s—1970s of last century. Planetary science is the scientific study of the fundamental characteristics of planets, moons, and comets in the inner and outer of the solar system as well as their formation and evolution processes. Planetary science research mainly depends on deep space exploration, and it is highly interdisplinary and was built from Earth science, space science, and astronomy. The United States is the first country to build the planetary science discipline and the corresponding education system, and their strategy of science leading the deep space exploration makes them the only country in the world with strong planetary science program. Currently, the international deep space exploration is in the middle of second upsurge, and China’s deep space exploration program is under rapid development and has obtained remarkable and world-class achievements, which makes China a rising star in the field of deep space exploration. However, the planetary science discipline in China is not built yet and we also do not have corresponding education system, which neither matches nor supports China’s deep space exploration strategy. The slow development of the planetary science program has greatly limited China’s potential to become a country with powerful deep space exploration capability and strong planetary science program. Thus, the launching of planetary science program as the first level discipline is extremely urgent. University of Chinese Academy of Sciences together with some other universities have capability and advantages to lead the establishment of the first level discipline of planetary science in China and the corresponding education system, which can serve and lead the future deep space exploration and greatly help to promote China to be a country with strong planetary science program. By comparing the history of the development of planetary science program in the United States, we believe that we should take advantage of the philosophy of "The Fusion of Scientific Research and Teaching" in University of Chinese Academy of Sciences and explore a way with China’s own characteristics to the creation of the first level discipline of planetary science.

  • 太阳高能粒子(SEP)传播数值模拟中的太阳风背景场研究

    Subjects: Geosciences >> Space Physics submitted time 2016-04-22

    Abstract: Solar energetic particles(SEPs) pose one of the most serious hazards to spacecraft systems and constrain human activities in space. Thus, it is of importance to forecast SEP events. Several theories and numerical models are applied to simulate SEP events. Each model makes some assumptions to simplify the complex acceleration and transportation processes within such events. In general, SEP will interact with ambient solar wind and background magnetic field during transportation. It is recognized that interplanetary transport effects must be taken into account at any analysis of SEP propagation. In the previous simulation, it always assumed Parker magnetic field and fixed solar wind speed as the input parameters. However, these assumptions are too simple when compared with the real conditions. In order to get better results, it is necessary to use more accurate background conditions. Recently, we change the fixed solar wind speed into spatial-dependent speed profile based on Parker's theory, and replace the Parker magnetic field with another Parker-like magnetic field based on in situ data at 1 AU. By solving the focused transport equation with simulation of time-backward stochastic processes method, our results show that:(1) Under fast solar wind speed assumption, it is clear that the omnidirectional flux decreases faster than that for the situation with slow solar wind speed in the decay phase. We suggest that it is due to the adiabatic cooling effect. Fast solar wind speed has a significant effect on the adiabatic cooling, which leads the SEPs to lose energy more quickly during transportation. However, slow solar wind speed has less impact on the time profiles of SEP flux and anisotropy. We also compare the time profiles of SEP event observed at different observatories and energies, the results remain the same as previous;(2) When applying in situ data of magnetic field observed by WIND during different Carrington Rotations, the omnidirectional flux time profiles vary greatly, and the main results are as followings:the peak flux appears to be delayed, multi-peak occur, anisotropy also has some differences.We think it results from the magnetic field polarity, which affects the pitch angle, and, furthermore, modulates the momentum. The characteristics are similar in solar minimum and solar maximum, while the peaks seem to be more when solar activity is active. We conclude that the real magnetic field polarity may exert a significant influence during the propagation of SEP. In the future, we will try to use the real-time background conditions which obtain from MHD models in our simulations, in order to make a thorough study of the SEP propagation.

  • 一种改进的Kp指数现报模式

    Subjects: Geosciences >> Space Physics submitted time 2016-04-22

    Abstract: The planetary three-hour-range Kp index is widely used in space weather services. Due to the two weeks' time delay of the release of Kp index, the real-time estimation of the Kp index becomes essential for space weather forecasting organizations. In this paper, an improved algorithm for real-time Kp estimation on the basis of Takahashi's procedure was developed. The new algorithm improved the accuracy of Kp estimation by distinguishing the day-to-day variations of geomagnetic field's regular variation and taking account of both the diurnal and seasonal variations of magnetic disturbance. The statistical result shows that the Prediction Efficiency (PE) increased from 0.77 to 0.84 using Fredericksburg's data, from 0.88 to 0.92 using the nine stations network's data. Using the data from Beijing Ming Tombs observatory (BMT) from 2000 to 2006, the PE increased from 0.70 to 0.80 compared with the Takahashi procedure. The error of the estimations differs from universal time, season and the scale of magnetic disturbance. The RMS error reached maximum for Kp=7. Analysis of Kp using the SuperMAG indices indicated that the asymmetric distribution of Kp stations affects the Kp nowcast performance.
