Classification of Precipitable Water Vapor Regimes Revealed by Clustering of GNSS Radio Occultation and ERA5 Data

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Precipitable water vapor (PWV) is an essential parameter for the study of weather and climate behavior. This work presents a novel regional classification of PWV regimes based on clustering techniques applied to Global Navigation Satellite System radio occultation‐derived and ERA5 reanalysis data with and without seasonal removal.

The Cosmic Microwave Background Optical Depth Constrains the Duration of Reionization

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Recently, it was pointed out that invoking a large value of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) optical depth, τ _CMB  = 0.09, could help resolve tensions between Dark Energy Survey Instrument DR2 baryon acoustic oscillation data and the CMB.

Coincident ENA and Narrowband Radio Emissions as Diagnostics of Inward Plasma Transport at Saturn

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Saturn's kilometric radiation (SKR) and Energetic Neutral Atom (ENA) emissions are important diagnostics of the planet's magnetospheric dynamics, intensifying during global plasma injections and displaying characteristic planetary periodicity. Related to the SKR emissions are myriametric narrowband radio emissions that typically appear in the ...

Evidence for a sign change of the ISW effect in the very recent Universe? Hot voids and cold overdensities at z  <  0.03

Astronomy & Astrophysics
We find a significant cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature excess in the direction of local underdensities within z  5σ cooling of CMB photons in galactic filaments in the same redshift range, we now may have possible evidence for a negative ...

Statistical Survey of Cosmic Noise Absorption in Conjunction With Plasma Wave Measurements

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Using a decade of observations from the Canadian Geospace Observatory Riometer Network (GO‐RIO), we selected an east‐west subset of stations near L∼7 $L\sim 7$ to classify cosmic noise absorption (CNA) (a proxy for enhanced D‐region ionization) into two morphologies, simultaneous and drifting, based on the relative timing of signals across the

Latitude Survey of Neutrons and Muons to Determine Cosmic Ray Neutron Sensing Yield Functions

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Cosmic Ray Neutron Sensing (CRNS) is a ground‐based technique that utilizes epithermal neutron measurements as a proxy for environmental hydrogen content. Similarly to other ground‐based cosmic ray detectors (e.g., neutron monitors), CRNS detectors are affected by the solar cycle and space weather events.

Near‐Earth Cosmic Ray Modulation Index ϕ and Neutron Monitor Cutoff Rigidities at Hourly Cadence: Toward an Improved Monitoring of Solar‐Terrestrial Radiation Environment, Space Weather, and Space Climate

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Cosmic rays (CRs) are energetic particles originating from galactic and extragalactic sources. When arriving into the solar system and the Sun's heliosphere, they are diverted and modulated by the magnetic activity of the Sun. This modulation can be quantified by the modulation parameter ϕ $\phi $ determined with the Force‐field approximation (

Transforming DIY Geiger Counter Kits into Muon Detectors for Education and Scientific Exploration

Particles
Any Geiger counter can be used as an effective cosmic ray detector on its own. In fact, it is known that even in the absence of a radioactive source, the instrument detects what is known as background radiation, which consists of various types of ...
