An Informational–Entropic Approach to Exoplanet Characterization [PDF]
EntropyIn the past, measures of the “Earth-likeness” of exoplanets have been qualitative, considering an abiotic Earth, or requiring discretionary choices of what parameters make a planet Earth-like.

Inferring the instability of a dynamical system from the skill of data assimilation exercises [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2021 Data assimilation (DA) aims at optimally merging observational data and model outputs to create a coherent statistical and dynamical picture of the system under investigation.

Lévy noise versus Gaussian-noise-induced transitions in the Ghil–Sellers energy balance model [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2022 We study the impact of applying stochastic forcing to the Ghil–Sellers energy balance climate model in the form of a fluctuating solar irradiance. Through numerical simulations, we explore the noise-induced transitions between the competing warm and ...

Geodesy in Japan: legends and highlights
Earth, Planets and Space, 2020 Here, I review modern history of geodesy and geodynamics in Japan, highlighting a few episodes during the last two centuries. The review starts with the first measurement of the meridional arc length in Japan by Tadataka Ino (1745–1818) early in the ...
