A Cross‐Correlation Method to Evaluate Wind Retrieval Accuracy on Mars Using Simulated Microwave Limb Sounder Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract While aspects such as the temperature and composition of the Martian atmosphere are relatively well known thanks to observations from numerous space missions, Martian atmospheric dynamics remain poorly constrained due to the scarcity of direct wind measurements. The use of microwave limb sounders to retrieve winds has been proposed in the past,

The Power of a Name: Toward a Unified Approach to Naming Space Weather Events

Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 6, Issue 1, December 2025.
Abstract Our increasing reliance on technology vulnerable to space weather effects underscores the urgent need for effective public communication about these phenomena. While scientific research thrives on precise technical language, broader public engagement necessitates a more accessible and memorable approach.

Survey and Modeling of Windblown Ejecta Deposits on Venus

AGU Advances, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2025.
Abstract Venus' thick atmosphere rotates in the same direction as the solid body, but ∼60 times faster. This atmospheric superrotation has produced dozens of windblown ejecta deposits (“parabolas”) on the surface of Venus. The formation and modification of parabolas is an interplay between impacts, aeolian modification, and atmospheric dynamics.

From Tape Reels to Global Access: A History and Future Vision of NASA's Scientific Data Management

Earth and Space Science, Volume 12, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract Since its creation in the late 1950s, NASA has collected space science data and information that span astrophysics, Earth science, planetary science, heliophysics, and biological and physical sciences. While these data were critical to NASA's objective of expanding human knowledge of space, the early days of scientific data and information ...
