GPS天线球在AUV上的拖曳运动分析

AUV在长时间作业过程中需要浮出水面进行GPS定位，既浪费时间又浪费能源，因此仿照潜艇上的拖曳天线的形式，在AUV上采用了形状简单的GPS天线球，这种天线球的拖曳运动特性是本文的主要研究内容。 本文分析了这种天线球在静水环境下的拖曳运动情况，建立了拖曳系统的数学模型。其中对于缆绳采用了Ablow提出的有限差分模型，对于自由表面上的天线球，采用水动力系数法进行分析，对耦合的系统采用前向差分法进行求解。在此基础上编制程序进行仿真。 为了验证仿真结果，在拖曳水池进行了拖曳试验。在试验中通过改变拖曳速度和缆绳长度，得到了一系列的张力数据和天线球姿态。对试验数据和计算结果的比较表明，上面的数学模型在速度小于2节时能够模拟真实情况，反之则会出现较大的误差。经过查找，本文排除了试验误差和计算参数选取不当这两个可能的原因，最终认定是天线球的模型不够完善，因为它在自由表面上受到了兴波阻力的作用。 本文也对有限差分程序的结果和叶果洛夫给出的缆绳数据进行了比较，比较表明基于本文编写的缆绳分析程序是可靠的。在此基础上，本文把拖曳试验测量到的张力作为边界条件对实际工程进行了分析计算，指出目前缆绳长度14米的情况不能满足期望的10米拖曳深度；若要拖曳深度达到10米，需要加大天线球的浮力并增加缆绳长度，本文也给出了这种情况下的几组参数的具体值。

全球定位系统的车辆定位问题——GPS动态绝对定位模式的研究

随着GPS（全球卫星定位系统）技术的成熟与发展，利用GPS技术进行车辆定位正地被广泛地应用。例如金融系统（运钞车）、公安部门（110报警车）、消防部门（119消防车）、急救中心（120救护车）等。但是，利用GPS进行车辆定位跟踪的传统方法是采用差分GPS技术。该技术的实现需要大量的资金投入，不适于我国目前的经济状况。寻求一种投资少并能实现基本功能的算法从工程角度讲，具有十分现实的意义。本文以“沈阳市消防通讯作战指挥系统”为背景，以单台GPS接收机动态定位模式为实现条件，对车辆定位的实现进行了详细的讨论。首先，建成立了WGS-84坐标系到BJ-54坐标系之间的坐标转换模型，其次，提出了一种基于类投影的地图匹配算法，最后基于该算法进行了实际车辆定位实验。从实验结果看，该算法基本实现了车辆定位的功能。

电离层行进式扰动的GPS台网监测研究

In this dissertation, we investigated two types of traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs)/gravity waves (GWs) triggered separately by auroral energy input during super geomagnetic storms and solar terminator (ST) under quiet geomagnetic conditions (kp<3+) using TEC measurements from the global network of GPS receivers. Research into the generation and propagation of TIDs/GWs during storms greatly enhance our understandings on the evolution processes of energy transportation from the high-latitude’s magnetosphere to the low-latitude ionosphere and the conjugated effect of TIDs propagation between the northern and southern hemispheres. Our results revealed that the conjugacy of propagation direction between the northern and southern hemispheres was subject to the influence of Coriolis force. We also figure out the evolution processes of ionospheric disturbances at the global scale. These are important topics that had not been well addressed previously. In addition, we also obtained thee wave structures of medium scale TIDs excited by the solar terminator (ST) moving over the northern America and physical mechanisms involved. Our observations confirm that the ST is a stable and repetitive source of ionospheric wave disturbances and the evidence of solar terminator generated disturbances has been demonstrated experimentally via the GPS TEC measurement. The main researches and results of this dissertation are as follows. First, the global traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs) during the drastic magnetic storms of October 29–31, 2003 were analyzed using the Global Position System (GPS) total electron content (TEC) data observed in the Asian-Australian, European and North American sectors. We collected the most comprehensive set of the TEC data from more than 900 GPS stations on the International GNSS Services (IGS) website and introduce here a strategy that combines polynomial fitting and multi-channel maximum entropy spectral analysis to obtain TID parameters. Moreover, in collaboration with my thesis advisor, I have developed an imaging technique of 2-dimensional map of TIDs structures to obtain spatial and temporal maps of large scale traveling ionospheric disturbances (LSTIDs). The clear structures of TEC perturbations map during the passage of TIDs were displayed. The results of our study are summarized as follows: (1) Large-scale TIDs (LSTIDs) and medium-scale TIDs (MSTIDs) were detected in all three sectors after the sudden commencement (SC) of the magnetic storm, and their features showed longitudinal and latitudinal dependences. The duration of TIDs was longer at higher latitudes than at middle latitudes, with a maximum of about 16 h. The TEC variation amplitude of LSTIDs was larger in the North American sector than in the two other sectors. At the lower latitudes, the ionospheric perturbations were more complicated, and their duration and amplitude were relatively longer and larger. (2) The periods and phase speeds of TIDs were different in these three sectors. In Europe, the TIDs propagated southward; in North America and Asia, the TIDs propagated southwestward; in the near-equator region, the disturbances propagated with the azimuth (the angle of the propagation direction of the LSTIDs measured clockwise from due north with 0°) of 210° showing the influence of Coriolis force; in the Southern Hemisphere, the LSTIDs propagated conjugatedly northwestward. Both the southwestward and northeastward propagating LSTIDs are found in the equatorial region. These results mean that the Coriolis effect cannot be ignored for the wave propagation of LSTIDs and that the propagation direction is correlated with the polar magnetic activity. (3) The day (day of year: 301) before the SC (sudden commencement) of magnetic storm, we observed a sudden TEC skip disturbances (±10 TECU). It should be a response for the high flux of proton during the solar flare event, but not the magnetic storms. Next, the most comprehensive and dense GPS network’s data from North-America region were used in this paper to analyze the medium scale traveling ionospheric disturbances (MSTIDs) which were generated by the moving solar terminator during the quiet days in 2005. We applied the multi-channel maximum entropy spectral analysis to calculated TID parameters, and found that the occurrence of ST-MSTIDs depends on the seasonal variations. The results of our study are summarized as follows: (1) MSTIDs stimulated by the moving ST (ST-MSTIDs) are detected at mid-latitudes after the passage of the solar terminator with the life time of 2～3 hours and the variation amplitude of 0.2～0.8 TECU. Spectral analysis indicated that the horizontal wavelength, average period, horizontal phase velocity of the MSTIDs are around 300±150 km，150±80 m/s and 25±15 min, respectively. In addition, ST-MSTIDs have wave fronts elongating the moving ST direction and almost parallel to ST. (2) The statistical results demonstrate that the dusk MSTIDs stimulated by ST is more obvious than the dawn MSTIDs in summer. On the contrary, the more-pronounced dawn MSTIDs occurs in winter. (3) Further analysis indicates that the seasonal variations of ST-MSTIDs occurrence frequency are most probably related to the seasonal differences of the variations of EUV flux in the ionosphere region and recombination process during sunrise and sunset period at mid-latitudes. Statistical study of occurrence characteristics of TIDs using the GPS network in North-American and European during solar maximum, In conclusion, statistical studies of the propagation characteristics of TIDs, which excited by the two common origins including geomagnetic storms and moving solar terminator, were involved with global GPS TEC databasein this thesis. We employed the multichannel maximum entropy spectral analysis method to diagnose the characteristics of propagation and evolvement of ionospheric disturbances, also, the characteristics of their regional distribution and climatological variations were revealed by the statistic analysis. The results of these studies can improve our knowledge about the energy transfer in the solar-terrestrial system and the coupling process between upper and lower atmosphere (thermosphere-ionosphere-mesosphere). On the other hand, our results of the investigation on TIDs generated by particular linear origin such as ST are important for developing ionospheric irregularity physics and modeling the transionosphere radio wave propagation. Besides, the GPS TEC representation of the ST-generated ionospheric structure suggests a better possibility for investigating this phenomenon. Subsequently, there are scientific meaning of the result of this dissertation to deeply discuss the energy transfer and coupling in the ionosphere, as well as realistic value to space weather forecast in the ionosphere region.
