Abstract This study presents the migrating and nonmigrating thermospheric neutral mass density tides from the Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment Follow‐On (GRACE‐FO) observations under solar minimum conditions (year 2020). The observed densities are first mapped to a reference altitude of 500 km using an empirical model (NRLMSIS 2.0) to remove the

Abstract Atmospheric resonance lidars targeting metallic species in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere have yielded insights into the dynamics of the middle and upper atmosphere for over 50 years. Recently, the technique has been extended to the metastable helium layer, which reaches up to 1,000 km or above.

Abstract Resonance lidars targeting the D1 ${D}_{1}$ resonance line of potassium at 770 nm have been employed over the past 5 decades to yield numerous insights into the dynamics of the middle and upper atmosphere. It has long been recognized that these measurements can be severely affected by nonlinear behavior in the scattering process, that is ...

Abstract The intensification of wildland fires across portions of Canada in early June 2023 led to significant smoke transport into the eastern United States, resulting in poor air quality and reduced visibility. Significant degradation of air quality was evident from PM2.5 surface measurements as the smoke plume moved southwards, which was confirmed ...

Abstract Pyrocumulonimbus (pyroCb) events, smoke‐infused thunderstorm clouds triggered by intense wildfires under suitable meteorological conditions, are an efficient pathway for transporting smoke to elevated altitudes. In some cases, smoke reaches the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere region, where it can persist for extended time periods and ...

Abstract Stratospheric sulfate aerosol (SSA) is an important part of the Earth's climate system. SSA climate impact is determined in part by particle composition, which has been measured from orbit. The weight percent of sulfuric acid in SSA has been determined from atmospheric infrared transmittance spectra recorded with the Atmospheric Chemistry ...

Trends and Sensitivities of Low‐Cloud Cover and Top Height From Spaceborne Lidar Observations
Abstract Low clouds effectively cool the Earth by reflecting incoming solar radiation. Detecting low‐level clouds with passive satellite sensors can be ambiguous, whereas active remote sensing instruments directly measure cloud‐top height. Here, we analyze 14 years of spaceborne lidar observations to assess trends in the occurrence of low‐level clouds ...

Abstract Intertidal zones of the Ganges‐Brahmaputra (GB) delta are among the most active coastal environments worldwide, and quantifying their morphological evolution remains challenging due to rapid change and scarce in situ observations. This study presents a satellite‐based direct quantification of intertidal sediment volume change in the Meghna ...
