Models of FSO link attenuation due to fog, rain and wind derived from measurement
Fišer, Ondřej; Brázda, Vladimír; Chládová, Zuzana; Pešice, Petr; Svoboda, Jaroslav; Schejbal, V.
2011 - English
The Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Czech Academy measures atmospheric attenuation on 60 m experimental FSO link while wavelength being 830 and 1550 nm. The measurement lasts three years. In this contribution we show dependences of FSO link attenuation on visibility, rain rate and selected wind parameters. We show that the measured attenuation values are higher than the theoretical values derived by the Kim formula. The sonic temperature is surprisingly very well correlated with attenuation.

The insoluble particles in water deposited from fog at Milešovka Observatory (Czech Republic)
Bartůňková, Kristýna; Fišák, Jaroslav; Stoyanova, V.; Schoumkova, A.
2011 - English
This study concerns insoluble chemical pollution of fog at Milešovka Observatory in the Czech Republic. In period from August 2006 till July 2007, 25 fog samples at the top of Milešovka Mountain in České Středohoří Mountains were collected by active fog water collector. Water samples were filtered. From 53 to 116 particles from every sample were chosen according to the quantity of particles found in dried filters. Altogether it was more than 2000 particles. Particles were examined with the help of Scanning Electron Microscope and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectrometer to distinguish sizes, shapes and composition. After analyzing the data, statistical evaluation was made. Particles were put into categories according to their shapes on spherical and not spherical. Typical particles like Al, Si, K, Fe or Ca-rich particles were determined. Focus was also to particles with rarely represented elements like Ni, Au, Pb, Cu, Zr and Ba. Groups of typical insoluble particles were collated according to meteorological conditions - synoptic situations and wind directions which prevailed in the days of fog events in order to try to find out possible sources of this fog pollution.

Scaling Analysis Applied to Ionospheric, Solar and Geomagnetic Data
Mošna, Zbyšek; Koucká Knížová, Petra
2011 - English
Scaling analysis based on structure function zeta(q) computed using wavelet analysis and spectrum D(h) is used to study possible connection of ionospheric system with the solar and geomagnetic activity. Data from six ionospheric stations (critical frequency foF2), solar flux F10.7 and geomagnetic indices AE, Kp and Dst are used. Data of foF2 show scale invariance in the period range 2–32 day. Scaling properties of ionospheric data show strong dependence on geomagnetic latitude of the station. Similar distribution of values of scaling exponents h for ionospheric and geomagnetic activity AE and Kp suggests connection between these systems. Values of h for foF2 and F10.7 have different distribution which suggests weak connection between these systems at chosen periods.

Automatic Visualization Method of Height–Time Development of Ionospheric Layers
Mošna, Zbyšek; Koucká Knížová, Petra
2010 - English
An automatic method for visualization of variability of ionospheric plasma in terms of ionospheric layers is presented. Here, we use the virtual reflection height for visualization. We directly plot the height–time dependence using original raw digisonde outputs. It gives us an opportunity to promptly visualise the ionospheric digital data and locate events of the interest for further analysis. In this paper, we present a variability in height of E-layer with a special focus on the sporadic E-layer. The proposed method is applicable for any ionospheric region.

Systematic Analysis of Equatorial Noise Using Data of the Cluster Mission
Hrbáčková, Zuzana
2010 - English
The four spacecraft of the Cluster mission are collecting a unique data set. We use data measured between 2002 and 2009. These data are unique not only by their quantity but also because the spacecraft changed their orbits during their operational phase and therefore we have data from a large area around the Earth. We focus our analysis on observations of equatorial noise (EN) which is an intense electromagnetic emission generated by unstable ion distributions. It occurs in the inner magnetosphere and propagates close to the geomagnetic equator between the local proton cyclotron frequency and local lower hybrid frequency. We make systematic analysis of EN using data from the STAFF-SA instruments onboard the four spacecraft of the Cluster mission.

Estimation of the Apparent Source Size of Solar Radio Emissions Using SVD: An Application to Type III Radio Bursts at Long Wavelengths Observed by STEREO and Wind
Krupař, Vratislav; Santolík, Ondřej; Cecconi, B.; Maksimovic, M.
2010 - English
Type III radio bursts are intense solar radio emissions. They are frequently observed by the S/Waves instruments on-board the STEREO spacecraft. We describe a wave propagation analysis using the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) which can be directly applied to spectral matrices measured by the High Frequency Receiver (HFR; a part of the S/Waves experiment). We have found an empirical relation between the decomposed spectral matrices and apparent source sizes for waves with a low degree of polarization. We present a joint observation of a type III radio burst by the STEREO and Wind spacecraft during small separation distances. We obtain consistent results for the apparent source size and k-vector direction using different analysis method for the measurements of the STEREO and Wind spacecraft. We demonstrate that SVD can be an effective tool for the wave analysis of radio emissions with very extended sources.

Study of Chance for Good DDA Drift Velocity Estimation for Ionospheric F-region Drift Measurements
Kouba, Daniel; Koucká Knížová, Petra
2010 - English
Estimation of the plasma drift velocity measured by Digisonde depends on the number of reflection points and their distribution. In the paper we divide and analyse plasma drift measurements according to the number of reflection points. A detailed study of Digisonde drift measurement quality has not been published yet. Two extreme groups are selected for further detail analysis, the first one with less than 100 reflection points and the second with more than 800 points. Within the data in these groups we detect annular and diurnal variability. Measurements containing low number of the reflection points occur mainly around equinoxes and during day-time. On the contrary, maximum occurrence of the measurements with more than 800 points is in winter and summer. The lowest chance to register extreme number of the reflections is during afternoon and around sunset.

Calibration of the STEREO/WAVES Instrument in the Solar Wind
Krupař, Vratislav; Maksimovic, M.; Cecconi, B.; Santolík, Ondřej
2009 - English
The S/WAVES instrument onboard the STEREO spacecraft measures electromagnetic waves in the solar wind. This unique project allows us to investigate properties of type II and type III radio bursts related with solar flares and propagation of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in the interplanetary medium, respectively. In this paper we present properties of the High Frequency Receiver (HFR) receiver which covers the frequency range 125 kHz–16.025 MHz. We have compared the gains from the two HFR channels and we have found significant variations of these gains with time. We have proposed a solution for correcting these gain variations and improving the S/WAVES HFR calibrations in order to get as accurate goniopolarimetric measurements as possible.
