Influence of Time‐Averaging of Climate Data on Estimates of Atmospheric Vapor Pressure Deficit and Inferred Relationships With Wildfire Area in the Western United States

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 7, 16 April 2025.
Abstract Vapor pressure deficit (VPD) is a driver of evaporative demand and correlates strongly with wildfire extent in the western United States (WUS). Vapor pressure deficit is the difference between saturation vapor pressure (es) and actual vapor pressure (ea). Because es increases nonlinearly with temperature, calculations of time‐averaged VPD vary

First Simulations of Feedback Algorithm‐Regulated Marine Cloud Brightening

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 7, 16 April 2025.
Abstract Feedback control algorithms are important tools in climate intervention simulation design because they facilitate “top‐down” design, in which climate goals (often temperatures) are prescribed and a strategy chosen to meet the target. This approach is commonly used in simulations of stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) interventions, but have ...

Sub‐Auroral Heating at Jupiter Following a Solar Wind Compression

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 7, 16 April 2025.
Abstract Jupiter's polar aurorae deliver significant heating at the poles, thought to spread across the planet through atmospheric winds. Additionally, ground‐based Keck observations have revealed a large‐scale high‐temperature region, spatially distinct from the aurorae.

Anomalous Shear Stress Variation in Wet Granular Medium: Implications for Landslide Lateral Faults

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 7, 16 April 2025.
Abstract Landslide assessments typically focus on the mechanical properties of the basal shear zone, but lateral faults are frequently overlooked, possibly due to their lower normal stresses and variably saturated conditions. Using double‐cylinder shear experiments on wet granular systems as analogs for landslide lateral faults, we observe anomalous ...

Lower‐Crustal Earthquakes: Strain Rate Controls the Magnitude and Rate of Stress Amplification in Rigid Blocks

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 7, 16 April 2025.
Abstract Earthquakes in the dry lower continental crust are enigmatic, as they require very high deviatoric stresses. Field observations suggest that stress amplification in rigid blocks surrounded by ductile shear zones leads to seismic failure: the jostling block model.

Optimized J2 Recovery for Multi‐Decadal Geophysical Studies

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 7, 16 April 2025.
Abstract The time history of the Earth's dynamic oblateness, or J2 ${J}_{2}$, is a unique climate data record, with its estimation from satellite laser ranging (SLR) tracking data beginning in 1976. Due to its impact on variations in length of day (LOD), the long‐term J2 ${J}_{2}$ time series is frequently applied to LOD studies and their contributions,

Anthropogenic Iodine‐129 Traces Complex Inflows of Atlantic and Pacific Waters Into the Western Arctic

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 7, 16 April 2025.
Abstract Changes in Atlantic and Pacific inflows into the Arctic are contributing to Arctic warming and reshaping water circulation. However, knowledge gaps remain regarding circulation pathways in the western Arctic Ocean, where Arctic Atlantic Water (AAW) and Pacific Water interact.

A New Understanding of the Poyang Lake‐Yangtze River Interaction: A Backwater Effect on the Yangtze River Perspective

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 7, 16 April 2025.
Abstract Interconnected river‐lake systems are much more complex than either one due to their interactions. The Poyang Lake‐Yangtze River system has received much attention due to the reverse flow from the Yangtze River, which blocks the flow of Poyang Lake and causes extensive inundation.
