Physics‐Guided CNN‐LSTM Model With Multi‐Head Attention for Aerosol Optical Depth Prediction

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Accurate aerosol optical depth (AOD) prediction remains challenging due to complex aerosol‐radiation interactions and highly variable spatio‐temporal patterns. Three critical scientific issues motivate this work: understanding whether and how physical principles can enhance deep learning predictions, identifying which aerosol properties most ...

Compositional characterisation of the Themis family

open access: yes, 2015
Context. It has recently been proposed that the surface composition of icy main-belt asteroids (B-,C-,Cb-,Cg-,P-,and D-types) may be consistent with that of chondritic porous interplanetary dust particles (CPIDPs). Aims.

Surface Water Iron Deposition Histories and the Initiation of Phytoplankton Blooms in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre

open access: yesGlobal Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Highly productive summer phytoplankton blooms in the central North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (NPSG) are an annual occurrence that leads to the export of considerable amounts of surface particulate carbon to depth. The mechanisms that control the formation of these blooms remain unresolved, but iron (Fe) availability may be an important factor ...

Cooling‐Induced Rheological Weakening Along the Nascent Plate Interface—A Mechanism for Catastrophic Subduction Initiation?

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Subduction initiation often begins with slow, forced convergence, switches “on” catastrophically as the slab collapses into the mantle, and then evolves to steady‐state, self‐sustained sinking that drives global plate movements. Numerical models suggest that the collapse phase implies sudden weakening of the plate interface.

Crystalline Silicate Emission in the Protostellar Binary Serpens--SVS20

open access: yes, 2005
We present spatially resolved mid-infrared spectroscopy of the class I/flat-spectrum protostellar binary system SVS20 in the Serpens cloud core. The spectra were obtained with the mid-infrared instrument T-ReCS on Gemini-South.

Making Observed and Modeled Martian Dust Storm Trajectories Visible Using a New Automatic Tracking Algorithm

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Dust in the atmosphere of Mars, along with its radiative effects, is the central factor for understanding the Martian climate. Global circulation models and remote sensing observations are used to shed light on the evolution of Martian dust storms.

X-Ray Absorption and Scattering by Interstellar Grains

open access: yes, 2016
Interstellar abundance determinations from fits to X-ray absorption edges often rely on the incorrect assumption that scattering is insignificant and can be ignored.

Mountain Waves and Thermal Tides of the Venusian Atmosphere Analyzed Through Thermal Infrared Images and Radio Occultation

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Thermal infrared imaging by Longwave Infrared Camera (LIR) aboard JAXA's Venus orbiter Akatsuki has revealed horizontal structures of large‐scale topographic gravity waves (mountain waves) and thermal tides in the Venusian atmosphere. For quantitative analysis of these waves, we developed a radiative transfer model for an atmosphere perturbed ...

A Ring of Warm Dust in the HD 32297 Debris Disk [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We report the detection of a ring of warm dust in the edge-on disk surrounding HD 32297 with the Gemini-N/MICHELLE mid-infrared imager. Our N'-band image shows elongated structure consistent with the orientation of the scattered-light disk.
