[0039] Using the method for measuring ionospheric electron density provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the embodiment of the present disclosure constructs an ionospheric model associated with the ionospheric region D and configures the initial conditions of the model, and then obtains the physical parameters associated with the ionospheric physical processes under the initial conditions of the model. Then, the particle density of different particle types is obtained based on the continuity equation and the physical parameters associated with the ionospheric physical processes. Finally, the electron density of the ionospheric region D is determined based on the particle density of different particle types. The embodiment of the present disclosure is based on the continuity equation under chemical equilibrium, and combines the continuity equation with the physical parameters associated with the ionospheric physical processes to calculate the density of each type of particle, thereby achieving accurate calculation of the electron density of the ionospheric region D. This helps to improve the ability to accurately detect the ionospheric electromagnetic environment. At the same time, it is of great significance to the development of new technologies for the ionospheric electromagnetic environment and the correction of radio communications and navigation systems.

[0040] In the disclosed embodiment, the ionospheric physical process includes a photochemical process and an ion chemical process.

[0041] The following is a description of the photochemical process:

[0042] In the photochemical process, the physical processes that control the ionosphere are usually divided into two categories: photochemical processes that lead to the creation and disappearance of ionization and transport processes that lead to the movement of ionized particles.

[0043] Due to the complex and adhesion processes of particles and a large number of neutral components that occur very quickly in the ionospheric D region, the ion lifetime is very short, usually around a few seconds. Therefore, the transport process in the ionospheric D region can be ignored, and photochemical processes and ion chemical processes play a dominant role in the ionospheric D region. Since the unit optical depth of X-ray and long-wave ultraviolet radiation reaches a low altitude, the photochemical process at the altitude of the ionospheric D region is mainly considered to be solar EUV radiation. Lyman-alpha radiation and photoionization of neutral atmospheric components (N2, O2, O, NO, etc.). In the calculation of photoionization, the EUVAC model is used for the solar EUV radiation flux, and the Richards cross-section parameters are used for the absorption and ionization cross-section parameters.

[0044] The following is a description of the ion chemical process: The ion chemical process at the altitude of the ionosphere D region is extremely complex. The ionosphere model mainly considers the following types of ion chemical reactions: (1) the combination of electrons and positive ions; (2) the collision exchange of ions and neutral components; (3) the complex of positive ions and negative ions; (4) the attachment reaction of electrons and neutral components. Although the density of neutral particles in the ionosphere D region is very high and accounts for a high proportion, since ionized ions can easily exchange charges with neutral particles with lower ionization potential, and the reaction rate is much higher than that of neutral particles, for the ion chemical process at the altitude of the ionosphere D region, neutral and neutral collision reactions can be ignored.

[0045] The ionospheric model considers a steady-state ion chemistry framework involving 145 reactions involving 23 positive ions, 11 negative ions, 12 neutral particles, and electrons. The chemical reaction equations and corresponding chemical reaction rates involved in the ion chemistry framework use empirical values ​​from the literature. The main positive and negative ion reaction diagrams in the ionospheric D region are shown in Figures 1 and 2. Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown.

[0046] After determining the ionospheric physical process, the embodiment of the present disclosure can calculate the electron density based on the continuity equation and the respective parameters of the photochemical process and the ion chemical process.

[0047] In the ionospheric physical process in the D region of the ionosphere, the changes in ion density and electron density can be described by the continuity equation:

[0048]

[0049] in, represents the particle change rate, It represents the rate of change of particle density caused by the transport process of ionospheric physical processes, P represents the particle production rate under the combined action of photochemical and ion chemical processes per unit time and unit volume, L(N) represents the particle loss rate caused by ion chemical processes per unit time and unit volume, and N represents the ion density.

[0050] When solving the continuity equation, if it is assumed that the system reaches a photochemical equilibrium state and the external transport process is ignored, and the ion loss rate and particle density are linearly related (i.e., L(N) = Ln), the continuity equation is simplified to:

[0051] P-Ln=0;

[0052] Where P represents the sum of the ion generation rate due to solar ultraviolet radiation, Lyman-alpha radiation, and other photochemical processes, and the ion production rate due to ion chemistry. L represents the ion loss rate corresponding to ion chemistry, and n represents the particle density.

[0053] It should be noted that the photochemical process encompassed by P is independent of ion type, but the ion chemical process corresponding to the particle production rate encompassed by P is ion type-dependent. Based on this, the continuity equation can be further decomposed into the sum of the ion generation rate corresponding to the photochemical process and the ion production rate corresponding to the ion chemical process of a certain ion type.

[0054] In the photochemical equilibrium region, although ion chemical processes may change the composition of ion-electron pairs, the system as a whole always remains electrically neutral. This means that although local chemical reactions may increase or decrease the number of charged particles, the total positive and negative charges are equal, ensuring that the macroscopic electrical properties of the system remain unchanged. Therefore, the electron density N e for:

[0055]

[0056] Where i is the number of positive ion species, j is the number of negative ion species, and n is the density of each particle. The distribution of positive ion, negative ion and electron density with height is as follows: Figure 5 and Figure 6 The diurnal variation of total positive and negative ions at 12:00 LT in the mid-latitude region (25°N) is shown as follows. Figure 7 As shown. Among them, Figures 5 to 7 In the figure, the solar and geomagnetic conditions are: F10.7=70, Ap=4.

[0057] Optionally, the physical parameters associated with the ionospheric physical process include an ion generation rate corresponding to a photochemical process and an ion production rate corresponding to an ionochemical process. The detection device obtains the particle density of different particle types based on the continuity equation and the physical parameters associated with the ionospheric physical process, including:

[0058] The detection device determines the sum of the ion generation rate and the ion production rate, P.

[0059] The detection device calculates the ion density of different ion types based on the continuity equation and the sum value P.

[0060] In this way, the embodiment of the present disclosure calculates the density of various types of particles based on the continuity equation under chemical equilibrium and combines the continuity equation with physical parameters associated with ionospheric physical processes, thereby achieving accurate calculation of the electron density in the D region of the ionosphere.

[0061] Optionally, the physical parameters associated with the ionospheric physical process include the ion generation rate corresponding to the photochemical process, the ion production rate corresponding to the ion chemical process, and the ion loss rate corresponding to the ion chemical process. The ion production rate corresponding to the ion chemical process includes the ion production rate corresponding to the ion chemical process of different ion types. The detection device calculates the ion density of different ion types based on the continuity equation and the sum value P, including:

[0062] According to the continuity equation, calculate the ion density n of different ion types s .

[0063] Among them, the continuity equation is P s =L s n s , L s represents the ion loss rate corresponding to the ionic chemical process of the sth ion type, P s =P v1 +P v2,s , P v1 、P v2,s They respectively represent the ion generation rate corresponding to the photochemical process and the ion production rate corresponding to the ion chemical process of the sth ion type, and s represents the particle type number.

[0064] Thus, the embodiment of the present disclosure is based on the continuity equation under chemical equilibrium and combines the continuity equation with physical parameters associated with ionospheric physical processes to calculate the density of various types of particles. s 、P v1 、P v2,s After confirmation, based on L s n s =P v1 +P v2,sThe ion density of different ion types is calculated. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure can be based on the continuity equation P s =L s n s The ion density of each ion type is calculated to achieve accurate calculation of the electron density in the D region of the ionosphere.

[0065] Optionally, combined Figure 2 As shown, the detection equipment determines the electron density in the D region of the ionosphere based on the particle density of different particle types, including:

[0066] S11 , the detection device obtains the number of positive ion species N and the number of negative ion species M. Wherein, N is 23 and M is 11.

[0067] S12: The detection device obtains the sum of the positive ion electron density of all types of positive ions and the sum of the negative ion electron density of all types of negative ions. The sum of the positive ion ionization density is obtained by accumulating the particle densities of N types of positive ions, and the sum of the negative ion electron density is obtained by accumulating the particle densities of M types of negative ions.

[0068] S13, the detection device obtains the electron density of the ionosphere D region according to the sum of the positive ion electron density and the sum of the negative ion electron density.

[0069] In this way, since the entire system always maintains electrical neutrality within the photochemical equilibrium region, the total positive charge and negative charge are equal. Therefore, after obtaining the number of positive and negative ion species, the embodiment of the present disclosure first obtains the sum of the positive ion electron density of all types of positive ions and the sum of the negative ion electron density of all types of negative ions, and then obtains the electron density of the ionosphere D region based on the sum of the positive ion electron density and the sum of the negative ion electron density, thereby achieving accurate calculation of the electron density of the ionosphere D region.

[0070] Optionally, the detection device obtains the electron density of the ionosphere D region according to the positive ion electron density sum value and the negative ion electron density sum value, including:

[0071] The detection equipment obtains the electron density in the D region of the ionosphere based on the difference between the sum of the positive ion electron density and the sum of the negative ion electron density.

[0072] In this way, the accurate calculation of the electron density in the D region of the ionosphere can be achieved.

[0073] As an example, the electron density N in region D of the ionosphere is e for:

[0074]

[0075] Among them, m represents the positive ion species number, z represents the negative ion species number, and n m represents the particle density of the mth positive ion, nz represents the particle density of the zth positive ion.

[0076] Optionally, the detection device constructs an ionospheric model associated with the ionospheric region D and configures the model initial conditions, including:

[0077] The detection equipment determines the International Reference Ionospheric Model as the ionospheric model associated with the D region of the ionosphere.

[0078] The detection equipment is equipped with solar extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation flux, absorption parameters and ionization parameters.

[0079] The detection equipment sets initialization conditions for the international reference ionosphere model and the neutral atmosphere model.

[0080] The detection equipment is configured with the respective densities, electron temperatures, and temperature values ​​of N kinds of positive ions, M kinds of negative ions, and neutral particles.

[0081] The detection equipment is configured with the observation address, observation time, solar conditions, and geomagnetic conditions.

[0082] In this way, the construction of the ionospheric physical model is realized to set the initial conditions, providing model support for the calculation of physical parameters associated with subsequent ionospheric physical processes.

[0083] Optionally, the N positive ions include NO + 、N2 + , O + 、O2 + There are 23 kinds of positive ions, M kinds of negative ions including O - 、O2 - 、CO3 - There are 11 types of negative ions. Neutral particles include O, O2, He, N2, CO2, H2O, O3, NO2, HO2, OH, O2(Δg) and NO.

[0084] Among them, the density of NO n NO Solved by the following formula: n O They represent the density of O2 and the density of O respectively, and T represents the temperature value.

[0085] In practical applications, the method for measuring ionospheric electron density provided by the present invention can provide an algorithm and software system framework for the design of low-ionosphere detection systems based on ground-based detection stations or low-orbit GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) satellites.
