Satellite magnetic data reveal interannual waves in Earth's core.

ABSTRACT: SignificanceThe physics responsible for most of the interannual geomagnetic field changes, continually recorded by satellites for 20 years, is a long-standing open issue. By analyzing magnetic data, we detect Magneto-Coriolis waves in the Earth's outer core that account for a significant part of this signal. We further propose theoretical advances in the physical characterization of these waves, enabling a deeper understanding of the dynamics behind the geomagnetic signal. It should allow one to better sketch the heterogeneous magnetic field deep within the core, shedding further light on the mechanisms that sustain the geodynamo. Our interpretation does not require the presence of a stratified layer at the top of the core, with potent consequences regarding the Earth's thermal history.

Recent changes of the Earth's core derived from satellite observations of magnetic and gravity fields.

Project description:To understand the dynamics of the Earth's fluid, iron-rich outer core, only indirect observations are available. The Earth's magnetic field, originating mainly within the core, and its temporal variations can be used to infer the fluid motion at the top of the core, on a decadal and subdecadal time-scale. Gravity variations resulting from changes in the mass distribution within the Earth may also occur on the same time-scales. Such variations include the signature of the flow inside the core, though they are largely dominated by the water cycle contributions. Our study is based on 8 y of high-resolution, high-accuracy magnetic and gravity satellite data, provided by the CHAMP and GRACE missions. From the newly derived geomagnetic models we have computed the core magnetic field, its temporal variations, and the core flow evolution. From the GRACE CNES/GRGS series of time variable geoid models, we have obtained interannual gravity models by using specifically designed postprocessing techniques. A correlation analysis between the magnetic and gravity series has demonstrated that the interannual changes in the second time derivative of the core magnetic field under a region from the Atlantic to Indian Ocean coincide in phase with changes in the gravity field. The order of magnitude of these changes and proposed correlation are plausible, compatible with a core origin; however, a complete theoretical model remains to be built. Our new results and their broad geophysical significance could be considered when planning new Earth observation space missions and devising more sophisticated Earth's interior models.

Multifunctional Core@Satellite Magnetic Particles for Magnetoresistive Biosensors.

Project description:Magnetoresistive (MR) biosensors combine distinctive features such as small size, low cost, good sensitivity, and propensity to be arrayed to perform multiplexed analysis. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are the ideal target for this platform, especially if modified not only to overcome their intrinsic tendency to aggregate and lack of stability but also to realize an interacting surface suitable for biofunctionalization without strongly losing their magnetic response. Here, we describe an MR biosensor in which commercial MNP clusters were coated with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and used to detect human IgG in water using an MR biochip that comprises six sensing regions, each one containing five U-shaped spin valve sensors. The isolated AuNPs (satellites) were stuck onto an aggregate of individual iron oxide crystals (core) so that the resulting core@satellite magnetic particles (CSMPs) could be functionalized by the photochemical immobilization technique-an easy procedure that leads to oriented antibodies immobilized upright onto gold. The morphological, optical, hydrodynamic, magnetic, and surface charge properties of CSMPs were compared with those exhibited by the commercial MNP clusters showing that the proposed coating procedure endows the MNP clusters with stability and ductility without being detrimental to magnetic properties. Eventually, the high-performance MR biosensor allowed us to detect human IgG in water with a detection limit of 13 pM (2 ng mL-1). Given its portability, the biosensor described in this paper lends itself to a point-of-care device; moreover, the features of the MR biochip also make it suitable for multiplexed analysis.

A Comprehensive Model of Earth's Magnetic Field Determined From 4 Years of Swarm Satellite Observations.

Project description:The European Space Agency's three-satellite constellation Swarm, launched in November 2013, has provided unprecedented monitoring of Earth's magnetic field via a unique set of gradiometric and multi-satellite measurements from low Earth orbit. In order to exploit these measurements, an advanced "Comprehensive Inversion" (CI) algorithm has been developed to optimally separate the various major magnetic field sources in the near-Earth regime. The CI algorithm is used to determine Swarm Level-2 (L2) magnetic field data products that include the core, lithospheric, ionospheric, magnetospheric, and associated induced sources. In addition, it has become apparent that the CI is capable of extracting the magnetic signal associated with the oceanic principal lunar semi-diurnal tidal constituent M 2 to such an extent that it has been added to the L2 data product line. This paper presents the parent model of the Swarm L2 CI products derived with measurements from the first four years of the Swarm mission and from ground observatories, denoted as "CIY4", including the new product describing the magnetic signal of the M 2 oceanic tide.

Synchronizing volcanic, sedimentary, and ice core records of Earth's last magnetic polarity reversal.

Project description:Reversal of Earth's magnetic field polarity every 105 to 106 years is among the most far-reaching, yet enigmatic, geophysical phenomena. The short duration of reversals make precise temporal records of past magnetic field behavior paramount to understanding the processes that produce them. We correlate new 40Ar/39Ar dates from transitionally magnetized lava flows to astronomically dated sediment and ice records to map the evolution of Earth's last reversal. The final 180° polarity reversal at ~773 ka culminates a complex process beginning at ~795 ka with weakening of the field, succeeded by increased field intensity manifested in sediments and ice, and then by an excursion and weakening of intensity at ~784 ka that heralds a >10 ka period wherein sediments record highly variable directions. The 22 ka evolution of this reversal suggested by our findings is mirrored by a numerical geodynamo simulation that may capture much of the naturally observed reversal process.

Local magnetic moments in iron and nickel at ambient and Earth's core conditions.

Project description:Some Bravais lattices have a particular geometry that can slow down the motion of Bloch electrons by pre-localization due to the band-structure properties. Another known source of electronic localization in solids is the Coulomb repulsion in partially filled d or f orbitals, which leads to the formation of local magnetic moments. The combination of these two effects is usually considered of little relevance to strongly correlated materials. Here we show that it represents, instead, the underlying physical mechanism in two of the most important ferromagnets: nickel and iron. In nickel, the van Hove singularity has an unexpected impact on the magnetism. As a result, the electron-electron scattering rate is linear in temperature, in violation of the conventional Landau theory of metals. This is true even at Earth's core pressures, at which iron is instead a good Fermi liquid. The importance of nickel in models of geomagnetism may have therefore to be reconsidered.

Data set about local mapping of the Earth's magnetic field.

Project description:The data presented in this article are related to the research article entitled "Magnetic field and its experimental measurement in teaching in high schools" (J. Beňuška, D. Polčin, 2016) [1]. The article describes the possibilities of relatively accurate experimental measurement of magnetic field in any geographical conditions, in both exteriors and interiors, without the need for special instrumentation, with minimal financial costs. The data set is publicly available to allow the comparison of magnetic induction values in given latitudes with the other latitudes by the given methods and a critical analysis of the applicability of these methods in areas and locations without more demanding instrumentation.

Purely satellite data-driven deep learning forecast of complicated tropical instability waves.

Project description:Forecasting fields of oceanic phenomena has long been dependent on physical equation-based numerical models. The challenge is that many natural processes need to be considered for understanding complicated phenomena. In contrast, rules of the processes are already embedded in the time-series observation itself. Thus, inspired by largely available satellite remote sensing data and the advance of deep learning technology, we developed a purely satellite data-driven deep learning model for forecasting the sea surface temperature evolution associated with a typical phenomenon: a tropical instability wave. During the testing period of 9 years (2010-2019), our model accurately and efficiently forecasts the sea surface temperature field. This study demonstrates the strong potential of the satellite data-driven deep learning model as an alternative to traditional numerical models for forecasting oceanic phenomena.

Ubiquity of Kelvin-Helmholtz waves at Earth's magnetopause.

Project description:Magnetic reconnection is believed to be the dominant process by which solar wind plasma enters the magnetosphere. However, for periods of northward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) reconnection is less likely at the dayside magnetopause, and Kelvin-Helmholtz waves (KHWs) may be important agents for plasma entry and for the excitation of ultra-low-frequency (ULF) waves. The relative importance of KHWs is controversial because no statistical data on their occurrence frequency exist. Here we survey 7 years of in situ data from the NASA THEMIS (Time History of Events and Macro scale Interactions during Substorms) mission and find that KHWs occur at the magnetopause ∼19% of the time. The rate increases with solar wind speed, Alfven Mach number and number density, but is mostly independent of IMF magnitude. KHWs may thus be more important for plasma transport across the magnetopause than previously thought, and frequently drive magnetospheric ULF waves.

Climatology and Interannual Variability of Quasi-Global Intense Precipitation Using Satellite Observations.

Project description:Climatology and variations of recent mean and intense precipitation over a near global (50°S-50°N) domain on a monthly and annual time scale are analyzed. Data used to derive daily precipitation to examine the effects of spatial and temporal coverage of intense precipitation are the current Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Multi-satellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA) 3B42 Version 7 precipitation product, with high spatial and temporal resolution during 1998-2013. Intense precipitation is defined by several different parameters, such as a 95th percentile threshold of daily precipitation, a mean precipitation that exceeds that percentile or a fixed threshold of daily precipitation value (e.g., 25 and 50 mm day-1). All parameters are used to identify the main characteristics of spatial and temporal variation of intense precipitation. High correlations between examined parameters are observed, especially between climatological monthly mean precipitation and intense precipitation, both over tropical land and ocean. Among the various parameters examined, the one best characterizing intense rainfall is a fraction of daily precipitation ≥25 mm day-1, defined as a ratio between the intense precipitation above used threshold and mean precipitation. Regions that experience an increase in mean precipitation likely experience a similar increase in intense precipitation, especially during the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events. Improved knowledge of this intense precipitation regime and its strong connection to mean precipitation given by the fraction parameter can be used for monitoring of intense rainfall and its intensity on a global to regional scale.

Seismological observation of Earth's oscillating inner core.

Project description:We investigate the differential rotation of Earth's inner core relative to the mantle using pairs of precisely located nuclear explosions. We find that the inner core subrotated at least 0.1° from 1969 to 1971, in contrast to superrotation of ~0.29° from 1971 to 1974. These observations contradict models of steady inner core rotation and models that posit much faster rotation rates. The reversal of polarity, timing, and rotation rates is consistent with a model of oscillations about an equilibrium with gravitational locking of the mantle and inner core due to lateral density variations. The model, which has a 6-year period, can explain the variation in the length of day, which has oscillated fairly steadily for the past decades. Inner core oscillation would also allow interpretations of causal connections between inner core and mantle lateral variations, which are problematic if the inner core consistently superrotates.
