Space debris has become a serious space pollutant noticed by many astronomers. The increase of space dust sources and the development of research on space dust urgently need space dust data sharing and exchanging. It is necessary for us to establish the Space Dust Database to realize the sharing and canonical management of the data. The Space Dust Database (SDD) management system, based on the 3-layer B/S computer mode, was designed and implemented in this paper. The system’s features include significantly improved runtime efficiency, good scalability and maintainability. The Space Dust Database can provide some scientific bases for the study of the chemical constituents, mineral composition, origin and sources of space dust, but also provide excellent data services and decision-making support for the protection of space and model construction of space dust.展开更多

The Boltzmann distribution is used for electrons in the presence of the cold （hot） dust viscosity coefficients. The semi-inverse method and Agrawal variational technique are applied to formulate the space-time fractional KdV-Burgers equation which is solved using the fractional sub-equation method. The effect of the fractional parameter on the behavior of the dust acoustic shock waves in the dusty plasma is investigated.展开更多

Plasma under consideration is composed of inertialess Lorentzian positive and negative ions along with inertial positively charged dust grains. Such dust grains are charged by the flow of positive ion and negative ion current over the grain surface. Adiabatic grain charge variation shows the existence of compressive soliton whose amplitude decreases and width increases with increasing number of suprathermal particles. Non-adiabatic dust charge variation is concerned with the propagation of monotonic dust acoustic shock waves which do not loose monotonicity even when a number of suprathermal particles are very large.展开更多

Aerosol extinction (AE), aerosol backscatter (AB), and aerosol depolarization (AD) generally increase from the surface to 1.2 km and decrease from 1.2 km to the upper layers in both WNA and CSA. AE and AB in CSA (maximum of 0.13 km<sup>-1</sup>, 0.14 km<sup>-1</sup>, 0.0021 km<sup>-1</sup>‧sr<sup>-1</sup>, 0.0033 km<sup>-1</sup>‧sr<sup>-1</sup>) are higher than in WNA (maximum of 0.07 km<sup>-1</sup>, 0.08 km<sup>-1</sup>, 0.0017 km<sup>-1</sup>‧sr<sup>-1</sup>, 0.0015 km<sup>-1</sup>‧sr<sup>-1</sup>) at 532 and 1064 nm respectively. AD in WNA (maximum of 0.25) is significantly higher than in CSA (maximum of 0.05). There is a smooth change with the height of cloud extinction and backscatter in WNA and CSA, while there is a remarkable increase of cloud depolarization with height, whereby it is high in CSA and low in WNA due to high and low fraction of cirrus respectively. Altocumulus has the highest extinction in NA (0.0139 km<sup>-1</sup>), CA (0.058 km<sup>-1</sup>), WA (0.013 km<sup>-1</sup>), while low overcast transparent (0.76 km<sup>-1</sup>) below 1 km in SA. The major findings of this study may contribute to the improvement of our understanding of aerosol-cloud interaction studies in dominated dust and smoke aerosol regions.展开更多
