The effects of a local dust storm on the upper atmosphere of Mars are researched through the observations of the lower and upper Martian atmosphere in the MGS (Mars Global Surveyor) radio occultation experiments. The ionosphere profiles in the high‐latitude region of northern hemisphere are thought to be under the influence of a local dust storm occurring in the low‐latitude areas during Ls 135–150°, Mars Year (MY) 27. A method to estimate the Martian upper neutral densities via the heights of ionospheric main peak is presented. Through the method, the 130‐km atmospheric neutral densities (or CO2 densities) of the area during the dust storm were calculated. MCD V4.3 (Mars Climate Database, Version 4.3) is used to derive the normal (or dust‐storm‐free) neutral densities of the same region and period. By analyzing the differences between the calculated densities and MCD (V4.3) simulated ones, the influence of the local dust storm on the upper atmosphere densities can be quantitatively derived. Based on the variation of the upper atmosphere densities, the behavior of regional ionospheric main peak under the dust storm can be simulated by a photochemical equilibrium model. The simulated ionosphere parameters are compared with the MGS‐observed ones, and it is found that two profile data sets are consistent with one another, thus indicating that the method employed to estimate the upper neutral densities is accurate.
Abstract-Translation acts as a key course among the courses of English major and plays an important role in sharpening the students' comprehensive ability to use languages in institutions of higher learning. However, in recent years, a majority of students have made it known that they achieved no good results in translation course, in which more or less problems exist. In order to find out the problems of translation teaching, this paper had a sample survey on 250 third-year students of English majors in West China universities about their response to translation teaching. With the analysis of the questionnaire, three problems have been found, and the paper finally gave some countermeasures and suggestions in the hope of attaining the goal of high quality translation teaching. To keep pace with the times, the paper also held the idea that Internet Aided Translation should be concluded in translation teaching and it also gave new ways of doing translation with the help of the Internet.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
