The Evolution of a Polar Cap Patch Into a Blob in the Nightside Ionosphere: Direct Observations of Multiple Blob Formation Mechanisms Acting Simultaneously on the Same Plasma

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract A polar cap patch was observed to exit the polar cap to become a blob as it entered the auroral oval on the nightside of the Earth under moderately quiet geomagnetic conditions (Kp = 3−). Auroral particle precipitation led to an increase in the electron density of the blob.

Monitoring Flood Inundation Dynamics From Space

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract With the increasing intensity and frequency of flood events worldwide, the need for accurate and timely inundation mapping has never been more critical. Large‐scale flood extent estimations are vital for coordinating effective disaster response, facilitating recovery, and building future resilience.

Detectability of Phytoplankton Biomass Extremes Using Simulated Satellite Chlorophyll Observations

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract Extreme open‐ocean phytoplankton events can influence marine ecosystems, yet their global occurrence, drivers, and consequences remain poorly understood. Most large‐scale studies rely on satellite chlorophyll, which provides only a surface view, is affected by physiological variability, and is often missing due to clouds and low sunlight. Here,

Investigation on the Coherent Component of SHARAD Surface Echo and Surface Roughness: Scaling Behavior and Influence of Hurst Exponent

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The radar surface echo can be separated into coherent and incoherent components by statistical approaches, and the coherent component can be described by a backscattering model related to the RMS height. According to backscattering models for fractal surfaces, the coherent power in decibels decreases with RMS height on a scale independent of ...

Characterization of a Lava Plain NW of Ascraeus Mons, Mars, Through Surface Morphometric Analyses and SHARAD Subsurface Detections

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The Martian lava plains are characterized by their extensive, low‐relief surfaces, which are the result of numerous basaltic eruptions and feature a variety of volcanic landforms, including vents, cones, pits, and skylights. The combination of these features and impact craters yields a significant understanding of the planet's geological past ...

Forecasting Equatorial Plasma Bubbles From Precursor TEC Signatures Observed by C/NOFS

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the potential of localized total electron content (TEC) perturbation measurements, possibly associated with bottomside upwelling of the F‐layer, as precursors for forecasting ionospheric plasma irregularities, particularly the equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs).

Upwelling Metallic Ions Producing Valley Region Irregularities Over Low Latitude During the 2025 New Year Magnetic Storm

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 24, 28 December 2025.
Abstract Valley region irregularities (VRIs) have been previously investigated using radar, ionosonde, and rocket‐borne in situ observations. In this paper, based on a joint observational experiment by lidar and radars performed in Hainan, China, we report a case of low‐latitude VRIs generated in association with uplifted metallic ions for the first ...

First Observation of Localized F Region Bottom‐Type Scattering Layer by All‐Sky Radar at Low Latitude

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 23, 16 December 2025.
Abstract F‐region bottom‐type scattering layers (BSLs) occurring over equatorial and low latitudes may act as the precursor of plasma bubbles, usually observed by narrow‐beam very high frequency radars. However, their spatial features remain unknown due to the radar narrow field‐of‐view.
