Introduction to Earth System Solid Earth part Rocco Malservisi [email protected] Phone: 2180 4201 Elastic Waves P waves Elastic Waves S waves Elastic Waves Surface waves Surface waves front expand as a cylindrical surface Body waves front expand as a spherical surface Since the energy is conserved, which one is decaying faster? Body waves decay ~ as inverse of square of distance Surface waves decay ~ as inverse of the distance The same can be done with waves produced by earthquakes that Can travel through the planet PREM Tomography Flower, 2004 Data from Grand and Van Der Hilst Free oscillation Earth http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~nowack/geos557/lecture16-dir/lecture16.htm Toroidal Spheroidal 3D-MODELLE DES ERDMANTELS Kugelfunktionen Zonale Komponente Cnm: n = 2, m = 0 Die Eigenschwingungsmoden der Erde lassen sich mit Hilfe von Kugelfunktionen beschreiben.

Splitting der Eigenfrequenzen des Erdkörpers Berechnet man die Fourier-Transformation sehr langer Seismogramme (24 Stunden und länger) so tauchen die Eigenfrequenzen der Erde als klare Peaks im Spektrum auf. Amplitudenspektrum, Irian-Java-Beben, 17. 2. 1996, Station http://earthguide.ucsd.edu/mar/dec5/earth.html Magnetic Field We have a magnetic field that it is very similar to the one of a dipole. Well in reality this is true close to the surface if we go far away enough it looks more complex Magnetopause 10Re Moon 60Re Magnetic Field is a vector It has an intensity (can be measured looking At the oscillation of a compass) And a direction The direction change with the position Magnetic Pole: The place where the compass is pointing Down Magnetic Equator: The place where the compass is horizontal The Magnetic Poles are close to the geographical Poles but do not coincide (~11 off) The Earth’s Magnetic Field B = (X, Y, Z) Or B = (F, I, D ) Or B = (D, H, Z) F: intensity I: inclination D: declination H: Horizontal component The seven elements of the (local) magnetic field in the geographic coordinate system I. Geomagnetic field – Local Geomagnetic Field Vector The Earth’s Magnetic Field From this: Magnetic pole is the point where H=0 D= +- 90 Magnetic Equator the point where D=0 F: intensity I: inclination D: declination H: Horizontal component Where 3000nT<H<6000nT erratic zone (compass work badly) Where H<3000nT unusable zone (compass does not work) I. Geomagnetic field – Local Geomagnetic Field Vector Tesla (T) Magnetic flux density = Wb/m^2 Weber (Wb) The weber may be defined in terms of Faraday's law, which relates a changing magnetic flux through a loop to the electric field around the loop. A change in flux of one weber per second will induce an tension of one volt. T=N/Am V velocity m/s E electric field N/C V/m B=N/Am BiotSavart Law The place where the axis of the dipole intersect the surface Of the earth are called geomagnetic poles The numerical interpolation of the data is called Geomagnetic models. Every 5 yr a new model is released by The international community now we have the IGRF 2005 From Press, 1992. 90% of spatial field distribution can be explained by a simple dipolar field I. Geomagnetic field – Geocentric inclined dipole Magnetic Observatory http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/seg/geomag/icons/Obs1999_lg.gif FUR http://www.geophysik.uni-muenchen.de/observatory/geomagnetism Geomagnetic models: Interpolation of the observations Using spherical harmonics. If we do not have electrical charges and magnetic sources We can have a potential. (otherwise it is not conservative so no potenzial) Gauss in 1830 thought that he can divide the field in internal And external having 2 potentials. The internal goes as r^-n the external as r^n The potential can be expressed as: a n 1 m v i a gn cosm hnm sin mPnm cos n1 m 0 r n n v e a ar g cosm h sin m Pnm cos n n1 m 0 *m n *m n a n 1 m v i a gn cosm hnm sin mPnm cos n1 m 0 r n n v e a ar g cosm h sin m Pnm cos n n1 m 0 *m n *m n This is not only an interpolation scheme but also the solution for the physical problem of the magnetic field due to an internal or external source! The coefficients are called Gauss coefficients The internal field coef. start from r^-2 because we do not have the magnetic monopole The internal field represent 90% of the total field a n 1 m v i a gn cosm hnm sin mPnm cos n1 m 0 r n n v e a ar g cosm h sin m Pnm cos n n1 m 0 *m n *m n Table 1.

The coef. with n=1 give the magnitude of the dipole is the largest one ~85% of the field. It is inclinated of ~11 degrees. For n>12 the coef. are neglegible. N=2 quadrupole etc… can be controlled by regional features. The numerical interpolation of the data is called Geomagnetic models. Every 5 yr a new model is released by The international community now we have the IGRF 2005 From Press, 1992. 90% of spatial field distribution can be explained by a simple dipolar field I. Geomagnetic field – Geocentric inclined dipole Geomagnetic Field Intensity Other units: Gauss=100000nT g=10000nT I. Geomagnetic field – Worldwide Variation of F Geomagnetic inclination (IGRF) tan I = 2 tan I. Geomagnetic field – Worldwide Variation of I Worldwide Distribution of Geomagnetic Declination according to IGRF 2000 I. Geomagnetic field – Worldwide Variation of D The dipolar field is called the MAIN FIELD It changing slowly (this is why we update the model Every 5 yr by IAGA) The external field can change quickly. How does the field change: http://www.geophysik.uni-muenchen.de/observatory/geomagnetism Big diurnal variation and annual variation what can cause it?
