    月探査機「かぐや」月磁場研究グループの九州大学大学院理学研究院・高橋太准教授と東京工業大学大学院理工学研究科・綱川秀夫教授(グループリーダー)らは衛星観測データを解析し、太古の月には地球と同じように大規模な磁場が存在していたこと、現在とは数十度異なる自転軸だったことを明らかにしました。現在の月には大規模な磁場はありません。本研究から、約40億年前の月中心部では溶けた鉄が活発に運動し磁場を発生していたことがわかりました。その磁極は離れた2箇所にあり、一つは現在の月北極付近にありますが、もう一つは数十度離れていました。磁極の位置は自転軸の極とほぼ一致する性質があり、月の自転軸はかつて今の位置から大きく離れていたことになります。このことは、月の形成と進化を明らかにする上で非常に重要な成果です。

    The Earth possesses its intrinsic magnetic field generated by fluid motion in the electrically conducting core, known as the geodynamo. Provided the spatial distributions of the Earth's magnetic field and its temporal variations are known at the core surface, it seems to be possible to estimate the fluid motion there by solving an inverse problem. The magnetic diffusion term is much smaller than the advection term in the magnetic induction equation, and therefore it can be neglected for the time scale much shorter than the magnetic diffusion time. This is called as the frozen-flux approximation, and magnetic lines of force behave as if they are frozen-in fluid elements. Because of its fundamental non-uniqueness, additional constraints, for example, toroidal flow, steady flow, geostrophic flow, or a combination there of, are imposed in estimating the flow at the core surface. Estimated fluid motions have common features : large vortices at midlatitudes and westward flow near the equatorial region. It is now possible to carry out numerical simulations of three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic dynamos in rotating spherical shells. Inversion methods are then tested for synthetic data of numerical models. It is concluded that some meaningful information on the core flow can be recovered, but that the resolution of the magnetic field at the core surface has a crucial effect on the flow structure. Hence, to construct a realistic geodynamo model, it is important to determine the magnetic field precisely with smaller length scales at the core surface. It is required to monitor the geomagnetic field by launching satellites for magnetic field measurements periodically, for example every five years.

    地磁気を生成・維持しているダイナモ作用は外核内の流れによって生じている。核-マントル境界における下降流および内核境界における上昇流の空間的組み合わせは外核内の流れのスケールやパターンを決める。流れのパターンは磁場生成過程に影響するので、地磁気の分布や永年変化にその影響が現れる。つまり、核-マントル結合の時空間変動の情報は、外核内の流れの時空間変動に含まれている。そして、外核内の流れの情報は地磁気データに含まれている。そこで、地磁気モデルを用いて外核内の流れを求める。そして、推定された外核内の流れの空間分布および時間変動から核-マントル結合の時空間変動を明らかにする。
    Matsushima (2015) では、コア-マントル境界における粘性境界層下部の流れが地衡流であるという制約が課されていた。前年度、その手法を発展させることにより、つまり、流れが磁気地衡流であるという制約を課すことにより推定方法が改良されたことが確認された。しかしながら、コアの電気伝導度として以前から使われている値を採用した。近年の第一原理計算や室内実験に基づいたコアの電気伝導度の値は数倍から数十倍程度大きい。今年度は、コアの電気伝導度をパラメータとして、それがコアの流れを推定する際にどのように影響するかを調べた。コアの電気伝導度は誘導方程式の拡散項に含まれるので、磁場の動径方向についての2階微分の表現に寄与する。しかしながら、コア内部の磁場を計算するときのテイラー展開の2次の項に関連するだけであり、この点に関しては大きな影響がないことが確認された。一方、磁気地衡流制約の下ではローレンツ力の項が電気伝導度に比例する。そのため、電気伝導度が大きいほどコア内の流れのトロイダル成分が小さくなることがわかった。コア内の流れの推定にはより正確なコアの電気伝導度の値が必須である。

    We have constructed a mobile broadband seismic network that spans the whole of Thailand, and contributed to the elucidation of the fine structure of the lowermost mantle and the unexplored regions of the inner core. As a notable achievement, we integrated the data from the seismic network in Thailand with that from the existing networks in the surrounding areas, and clarified that the lowermost mantle beneath the western Pacific mantle, which was previously regarded as a large seismic low-velocity province, is a mixture of subducted plates and small-scale upwellings. Using data from the seismic network in Thailand, the uppermost inner core below the Arctic region was analyzed intensively for the first time, and it was clarified that the region belongs to the western hemisphere. In addition, we found that seismic velocity heterogeneity exists in the lowermost outer core and that the boundary of the hemispheric inner core has a transition zone with a width of about 600 km.

    From the detailed magnetotelluric observations around the Naruko volcano in the central NE Japan arc, we analyzed three-dimensional resistivity structure of the crust and the upper mantle. We found sub-vertical conductors beneath active volcanoes, Naruko and Onikobe, which imply existence of saline fluid reservoir. In the upper mantle, we imaged a conductor on top of the down-going plate. The conductor extends towards the Moho under the backbone ranges. We also found that it also has a branch toward west beneath volcanoes along the Japan Sea. From the experimental resistivity measurements of a fluid bearing rocks under lower crustal conditions, we found that those crustal conductors, found by magnetotelluric measurements, need high salinity fluids.

    Hemispherical difference of the inner core reaches at least 400km below the inner core boundary. Attenuation of seismic wave passing through the Eastern hemisphere can be explained by velocity perturbation within the uppermost 200km of the inner core. The reflected waves at the inner core boundary in the Eastern hemisphere show that 2Hz components are larger than those of 1Hz. The stability of morphology at the inner core surface depends on the growth rate of the inner core. Diffusivity affects kinetic and magnetic (in some case) energies of the outer core flow near the inner core boundary.

    Based on simultaneous observations of ground velocity and electromagnetic field, we have investigated the seismic dynamo effect, in which temporal variations of electromagnetic field associated with ground velocity are caused by cyclotron motion of ions contained in groundwater under the Earth's magnetic field. Circularly polarized electric field, detection of electric field earlier than arrival of seismic waves, and peak frequencies of the transfer function between ground velocity(input) and electric field(output) at cyclotron frequencies for ions in groundwater strongly support the seismic dynamo effect.

    Aiming at modeling an eddy diffusivity tensor, we have performed direct numerical simulations of MHD turbulence in a rapidly rotating system. To carry out computation using molecular diffusivity in a realistic planetary core, required is high resolution even for a very small region in the core. In the present research, the computational region is divided into several segments, which are allocated to respective CPUs on a parallel computer with large size of memory. Using results of direct numerical simulations thus obtained, we have examined scale similarity in MHD turbulence to model subgrid-scale physical processes, and we have found that scale similarity holds. On the basis of scale similarity law as well as spatial-filter width dependence, we have estimated the effect of subgrid-scales on grid-scales. We have then carried out large eddy simulations of MHD turbulence with the model of subgrid-scales. We have compared their results with those of direct numerical simulations, and confirmed that the present subgrid-scale model holds valid. That is, heat flux, kinetic energy, and magnetic energy averaged over computational time and computational region for large eddy simulation with the subgrid-scale model are closer to those for direct numerical simulations than those for numerical simulations without the model. It should be noted, however, that there is no significant difference among power spectra for velocity field, magnetic field, and temperature.

    In each year of this research project, we intensified seismic observations and advanced the analysis system, resulting in the establishment of an earthquake monitoring system in the Istanbul area, western Turkey. At present, seismic activity can be monitored on the web and also some data on major earthquakes are shown on the web, so that the data can be used for studies of earthquake generation mechanism. We have used the data for our own researches on seismic tomography and found that seismic activity becomes shallower in the earthquake source region of a big earthquake anticipated to the west of the Izmit earthquake source area. We also accumulated information on earthquake generation mechanism from waveform inversion for middle-size earthquakes, and increased our understanding of the distribution of crustal stress. As for seismicity itself, seismic activity is no very active in the earthquake source area for a big earthquake anticipated to the south of Istanbul, but it is rather active in its vicinity. Yearly data of hypocenters suggest an image of east-west active faults beneath the Marmara Sea and an image of the anticipated big earthquake has emerged. In electromagnetic studies, we made wide-band, long-period and short-period MT observations, and clarified the resistivity structure in a wide region including the Izmit earthquake source area. As a result, we found that earthquake source areas are resistive in general and highly resistive areas correspond to asperities. We also found a partial melting zone and its extension, as revealed by low resistivity zones widely existing in the lower crust and upper mantle. As for the seismic dynamo effect which we found during the Izmit earthquake, we made further studies for aftershocks associated with some major earthquakes, such as the Niigata Prefecture earthquake, which occurred recently in Japan. We could confirm the effect for earthquakes larger than magnitude 4.0, but could not detect electromagnetic signals anticipated theoretically before the arrival of seismic wave, simply because of low S/N for small earthquakes.

  • Effects of anisotropic turbulent transport on generation mechanism of the Earth's magnetic field

    It is likely that large-scale fields are transported by small-scale motions in the Earth's fluid core, since molecular diffusivities are very small. Turbulence in the core is anisotropic because of the Earth's rotation, the gravity and the magnetic field. However, the effect of anisotropic turbulence on generation mechanism of the Earth's magnetic field is still unknown. In this research, direct numerical simulations for MHD turbulence are performed to examine the anisotropic turbulent transport. Then the turbulent transport is parameterized in terms of a second moment closure model. It turns out that such a model of turbulent transport expresses that obtained through direct numerical simulations. When an anisotropic eddy diffusivity is artificially employed in numerical simulations, it is found that the magnetic energy increases intermittently even if the kinetic energy is small. This suggests that anisotropic turbulent transport influences large-scale magnetic field generation. The turbulent heat transport is given by a product of an eddy diffusivity tensor and a temperature gradient vector. When an angle between directions of large-scale temperature gradient and gravity is larger than π/2, it is difficult to use a simple model for local turbulence in global numerical simulations.

    We have established a seismic observation network called IZINET and monitored seismic activity.In this network, the Izmit earthquake of magnitude 7.4 occurred on August 17, 1999 and hence we could determine its hypocenter very accurately. The seismic data set obtained from IZINET is very important and many seismologists over the world have used this data set. We also made temporary observations to investigate the aftershock activity and we found a zone of seismic activity along the earthquake faults which appeared on the Earth's surface. The distribution of aftershocks is inhomogeneous and some clustering activities were found. This aftershock data set is also important and has been used by many seismologists over the world. From several years before the Izmit earthquake, the seismic activity was high in the epicentral area. Finally we pointed out that the focal mechanism and the aftershock distribution can provide some important clues for the next future large earthquake in the vicinity of Istanbul. As for electric and magnetic observations, records before, during and after the Izmit earthquake could be obtained. Careful examination of the records shows that the electric and magnetic fields changed drastically with the seismic waves. We interpreted these changes in terms of the seismic dynamo effect. In order to confirm this hypothesis, we made simultaneous seismio and electromagnetic observations at the same site. The records immediately before the Izmit earthquake are important from the viewpoint of earthquake prediction, but so far we have been unable to detect any anomalous changes in the electric and magnetic fields. We also made resistivity survey along some segments of the active fault and found that high resistivity zones prevail in the vicinity of the fault. We then pointed out that the hypocenter of the Izmit earthquake is just located in the high resistivity zone. Also most aftershocks tend to occur in this high resistivity zone.

    Aiming at solving a dynamo problem as a mechanism of the origin of Earth and planetary magnetism, we have performed three-dimensional MHD dynamo simulation. So far, we have found that boundary layers develop depending on the Ekman number and in the layer small-scale phenomena are dominant, when a non-slip boundary condition is given to the velocity field. Therefore, we must evaluate the effect of boundary layers if we want to obtain reliable results of MHD dynamo simulation. In 1998 and 1999, we developed a new computer code for dynamo simulation and compared its results with those derived from our previous code and showed that our new code is valid. Then we modified this code so as to cope with parallel computing. In 2000, we have participated the dynamo benchmark test as an international group attempt. As a result, our results were found to agree with the others and therefore our computer code is as effective as the other codes developed by oversea researchers. From our results, we could find that crude spatial resolution in the radial direction greatly affects the drift rate of the velocity filed pattern. In other words, it is the most important to assure enough resolution in the boundary layers when we examine the results of numerical computation. A hypothetical cylinder, which is tangent to the inner core at its equator and parallel to the rotation axis, is called a tangent cylinder, which is also a boundary layer. The effect of this layer becomes prominent for the non-slip boundary condition. Inside the tangent cylinder, the flow is not violent when the Rayleigh number is small, but for a high Rayleigh number, convective motion becomes active, Such a feature has a great influence on the mechanism of magnetic field creation and variation. As a future work, we should try to under stand the dependence of the Rayleigh number on dynamics inside the tangent cylinder

    The North Anatolian fault zone in northern Turkey has been considered to be a test field for earthquake prediction studies, because there exists a so-called seismic gap. The purpose of this research is to investigate the characteristics of earthquake generation through seismic studies and their relation to a large earthquake which has been considered to occur in the gap area in the future. In addition, continuous measurements of the geomagnetic and telluric fields have been made in the gap area to detect anomalies and clarify their mechanisms.
    (1) Seismic observation
    In order to monitor microseismic activity in the gap area, we have established a radio-linked seismic observation system consisting of a base station, where a three-component seismometer was set up, and five saztellite stations, where a vertical-component seismometer was installed. It was found from the observations that some microearthquakes have been occurring in the gap area, but the detection level for microseismicity turned out to be still insufficient. So we are now installing a few more stations.
    (2) Strain measurement
    A precise strainmeter was installed at a station located very close to an active fault in the gap area to monitor a possible strain change associated with fault displacement. However, the installation depth turned out to be too shallow to escape from the temperature effect and the observed data must be processed so as to remove this effect.
    (3) Geomasgnetic and telluric measurements
    Seven geomagnetic and two telluric stations have been in operation to monitor possible changes in the geomagnetic and telluric fields associated with earth quakes in the study area. So far we have obtained some examples of anomalous changes in the telluric field associated with some rather small earthquakes.
    (4) Study of earthquake source process
    We have analyzed seismic records of more than twenty events in Turkey, and detailed earthquake source processes have benn clarified in relation to tectonics. In particular, it was found that the 1967 Mudurnu Valley easrthquake has a complicated source process, this earthquake can be characterized generally by a strike-slip mechanism, but at its western end the normal-fault constituent was found. This is expected to provide a clue to the generation process of a large earthquake in the gap area, that is the west of the source area of the Mudurnu Valley earthquake.

    「地球や惑星になぜ磁場が存在するのか?」は,未だに解明できていない地球惑星科学上の大問題である.その解決のためには,膨大な計算を必要とする,そして,非常に複雑な振る舞いをする3次元MHDダイナモ問題を精度よく解かなければならない.これまでは,磁場や速度場をポロイダル・トロイダル分解し,それらのスカラー関数を球面調和関数及び三角関数に展開して数値計算を行ってきた.しかしこの方法では,計算効率があまりよくなかった.また,局在する磁場の扱いにも問題が残った.そこで,本研究では,3次元MHDダイナモ計算専用の並列計算機を構築し,本格的地球惑星ダイナモの数値シミュレーションの実現を目指した.
    並列計算機として,トランスピュータを採用した.これはMIMD(Multiple Instruction-Multiple Data)型・メモリ分散型の並列計算機であり,並列計算に必要となるトランスピュータ間のデータ転送のための接続をソフトウェアで行うことができる.計算対象領域となる回転球殻内に格子点を取り、解くべき方程式を差分化した.そして,計算領域を分割して個々のトランスピュータに割り当てることによって計算を並列化し,計算時間を短縮することを試みた.極となる回転軸上の点での差分化の問題解決のために,スカラー関数を軸対称成分と非軸対称成分とに分けた.そして,効率的な計算を行うための条件(球殻の分割の方法など)を得るために回転球殻内の熱対流の数値計算を行なった.今後は,本研究を契機として,本格的な3次元MHDダイナモの数値シミュレーションに取り組む予定である.

    様々な時間スケールで変動している地球磁場の成因である地磁気ダイナモのメカニズムを解明することを目標とする.回転球殻内で熱対流を生じている電磁流体中で,磁場及び速度場が時間的・空間的にどのように振る舞うかを調べるために,磁場の誘導方程式,流体の運動方程式,そして熱の輸送方程式を解く.流体が非圧縮であると仮定すると,磁場も速度場もポロイダル成分とトロイダル成分とに分解できる.今までは,これらのスカラー関数を球面調和関数及び三角関数に展開して問題を解いてきたが計算効率がよくなかった.そこで,本研究では,効率よく計算するためにメモリ分散型の並列コンピュータを使用し,並列処理を行なうことにした.計算を並列化するために,計算領域となる球殻でメッシュを切り,差分化して方程式を解くことにした.球極座標系(γ,θ,φ)では回転軸(θ=0及びθ=π)が極となってしまうが,ポロイダル場及びトロイダル場のスカラー関数を,軸対称成分と非軸対称成分とに分解することにより極での計算を容易にした.
    本研究の申請後,本学に新たにスーパーコンピュータが導入され,オートタスキングによる並列処理が可能となった。そこで,本研究で開発したコードの有用性を調べるために,スーパーコンピュータ(CRAY C916/12256)を利用した.8個のCPUを利用すると指定してプログラムを走らせたところ,8個のCPUを使っている時間が一番長くなり,並列化の効果があることがわかった.今後は,開発したコードを実際にダイナモ問題に応用しつつ,並列処理を活かしたより効率のよいコードになるように改良し,地球ダイナモ問題に取り組むつもりである.

    日光白根火山の南東域に存在する地震波反射面に関して,比抵抗構造からアプローチとしてMT観測を計画し,ほぼ予定通りの観測を行うことができた。具体的には,約10km程度の深さに存在すると考えられている反射面の真上にあたる地域において8点観測点を選び,U36及びV5(AMT)による広帯域MT観測を行った.今回はV5(MT)が使用できなかったので,V5(AMT)で10,000Hz-10Hzの周波数帯を,U36で32Hz sampling及び1 Hz samplingを行うことにより,10Hz-0.1Hz,0.3Hz-0.01Hzそれぞれをカバーするようにした.AMTはremote-reference処理なしとし,低周波数帯に対しては,水沢のデータを利用することによってremote-reference処理を行う方針をとった.中間周波数帯に対しては,観測域内の適当な測点のデータを用いてremote-reference処理を行うことにした.現在までのところ,AMTの見かけ比抵抗及び位相にデータが得られている.全般に表層部は比抵抗が高く,いずれも100 ohm.m以上であり,なかには1000 ohm.m近いところもある.低周波数帯については,電化軌道からの漏洩電流によるノイズがひどいので,夜間のデータを解析している.
    ただし,0.1Hzより高い周波数になるとシグナルレベルが急激に落ちるため,磁力計自体のノイズが問題となり,remote-reference処理が機能しなくなる傾向にある.以上,これまでの成果として,"(1)日光地域では,地殻深部はかなり高比抵抗(1000 ohm.mに近い)である,(2)ただし,周期数秒あたりになると100 ohm.m以下の低比抵抗を示す傾向が見られることから,地震波反射面が存在する深さに低比抵抗層が存在する可能性もある"とまとめられる.

    これまで,地球磁場の成因を解明するための一手段として,地磁気データを用いて地球核内部流体運動を推定してきた.本研究では,得られた速度場から液体核内部のヘリシティ分布を求めた.ヘリシティはダイナモ理論において重要な要素であり,α-効果に関係すると考えられている.
    核-マントル境界付近では,大西洋側の半球において得られたヘリシティの絶対値は大きくなった.この結果は,凍結磁場近似に基づいて得られた核表面付近の流体運動から得られたヘリシティ分布と一致する.得られたヘリシティの経度方向平均は,赤道面に対してほぼ対称になった.しかしながら,南北半球におけるコリオリ力の働きは逆向きになるので,ヘリシティは反対符号になると考えられている.また,運動学的ダイナモはα-効果は赤道面反対称の分布を持つように与えられる.理由として考えられることは,本研究では大規模な流れのみを取り扱っているので,乱流的な小規模な流れの影響が反映されていないということである.ただし,大規模な流れの運動学的ダイナモでは,赤道面対称のヘリシティ分布を持つものでも,ダイナモとして成立するので,詳細に関しては,今後の研究が必要である.
    運動学的ダイナモの研究では,ヘリシティの体積平均がダイナモの効率に関係することが示唆されている.本研究で得られたヘリシティからは,その平均値が小さいことがわかった.その理由として,観測されている中で,今は一番大きな磁場である双極子磁場が減少している時期であることや,さらに小規模な流体運動が磁場成因に対して大きな影響を持っていることなどが考えられるが,現段階では不明である.今後の研究が必要である.

    本研究では,「地球や惑星になぜ磁場が存在するのか?」,また「地球磁場はどのようなメカニズムでその極性を反転するのか?」という問題の解明を目的とした.
    まず,地球磁場が地球中心核内の流体運動と磁場との相互作用(ダイナモ作用)によって生成・維持される機構の具体的プロセスを解明するために,地磁気ダイナモ問題を3次元非線形問題として定式化し,さらに数値計算に適した形にまとめた.その上で,強力なワークステーションを昼夜わかたず駆使し,磁場の時間発展をできる限り厳密に追うという作業を続けた.
    その結果,適当なパラメータ領域で実際に流体運動によって磁場が維持されること,さらに磁場の極性がかなり規則的に逆転することが確かめられた.この結果は,磁場の極性逆転が非線形相互作用の結果としていわば自発的に起こることを示しており,磁場逆転の内因説を支持する.さらに,外核-マントル境界の温度が不均一に分布する場合,磁場が安定する傾向が見られ,極端な場合には磁場の逆転が起こらなくなることがわかった.
    これらの結果をさらに一般化するために空間スケールをさらに細かくし,非常に複雑化した系を取り扱ったところ,電磁流体3次元問題の性質が実に複雑で,大きなスケールでの振る舞いを小さなスケールにあてはめることは危険であることがわかった.この問題は深刻で,数値計算において膨大な計算を行わない限り真の結果に到達できないことになる.
    この問題に対処するために,本研究では並列計算機の構築を試み,ダイナモ並列計算のためのコードの開発を行っている.この作業は大変であり,現在も続行中であるがもうすぐ完成の見通しがたったところである.

    地球磁場成因の解明に向けて、地磁気データを用いて、地球核内部流体運動の推定を行った。ポロイダル速度場の動径方向依存性を与え、磁場の誘導方程式およびナヴィエ-ストークス方程式を連立して解いた。これまでは、磁場の境界条件として、核表面における磁場の強度分布のみを与え、その時間変化は非常に小さいと仮定してきた。本研究では、地磁気永年変化も計算に取り入れた。ただし、速度場はこれまで同様、定常であると仮定した。そのため、誘導方程式から得られる、磁場の時間変化の変化(時間について2階微分)の式も解くべき方程式に加えた。
    数値計算の結果得られた流体運動において、凍結磁場近似に基づいて得られている核表面付近の流れとの共通点が見つかった。本研究では、核全体が対流していると仮定したにもかかわらず、このような結果が得られたことから、凍結磁場近似に基づいて得られるような流体運動は、核内部の流れの現われであると考えられる。また、核の外には現れない、つまり地表では観測できないトロイダル磁場の強度は5×10^<-3>T程度となるという結果が得られた。このことは、地磁気ダイナモのメカニズムは、強いトロイダル磁場を作るalphaomega型ではないことを示唆している。
    今後は、与えられているポロイダル速度場の動径方向依存性を変えて、その影響を調べていく必要がある。学会誌へは、現在、投稿準備中である。また、本研究の結果は、今年8月、カナダのウィッスラ-マウンテンで開かれるSEDI(Study of the Earth's Deep Interior)シンポジウムで発表する予定である。
