Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

Near-zone Direct and Indirect Topographic Effects Based on the Rectangular Prism and Surface Element [PDF]

Journal of Geodesy and Geoinformation Science, 2019
Helmert’s second method of condensation is an effective method for terrain reduction in the geoid and quasi-geoid determinations. Condensing the masses outside the geoid to a surface layer on the geoid produces several forms of topographic effects ...

A Framework for Modeling Tropical Cyclone‐Induced Compound Flooding of the Continental US: Demonstrated in New Orleans

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Compound flooding involves the interaction of multiple flood processes (e.g., coastal, fluvial, and pluvial) and is modulated by several factors (e.g., weather, climate, topobathy, morphology, time‐lag). In tropical and subtropical regions globally, Tropical Cyclones (TCs) are a primary cause of compound flooding as they generate substantial ...

Large Drifter Experiment in the Western Mediterranean Sea Reveals Dynamical Versus Noise Contributions in SWOT‐KaRIn Sea Level

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract The wide‐swath altimeter Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) provides unprecedented two‐dimensional sea‐level observations, whose ability to capture upper‐ocean dynamics requires assessment. The dynamically balanced signal and noise contributions in SWOT‐KaRIn Level‐3 (L3) sea level products are here originally quantified and contrasted ...

Does Geocentric Sea‐Level Rise in the Maritime Continent Reveal a Tectonic Fingerprint?

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract The islands of the Maritime Continent are highly vulnerable to sea‐level rise driven by barystatic, sterodynamic, and vertical land motion (VLM) processes. While tectonics is known to affect relative sea‐level through VLM, its influence on long‐term geocentric sea level (GSL) through crustal deformation and gravity field perturbations remains ...

Improved geoid solution for the Weddell Sea region

, 2013
We present a geoid solution for the Weddell Sea and adjacent continental Antarctic regions. There, a refined geoid is of interest, especially for oceanographic and glaciological applications.

Comparison of Three Gravimetric-Geometric Geoid Models for Best Local Geoid Model of Benin City, Nigeria [PDF]

, 2019
International audienceThe conversion of geometric as well as ellipsoidal heights from GNSS observations to practical heights for engineering constructions has necessitated the determination of the local geoid model of areas.

3D Variations in Viscosity Reconcile the Strength of the Lower Mantle Inferred From Glacial Isostatic Adjustment and Mantle Convection

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract A widely accepted global model of glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) is based on ICE‐6G ice loading and 1D‐viscosity model VM5a, a viscosity profile which remains at odds with mantle convection constraints such as from geoid modeling. We explore 3D‐viscosity variations in models of GIA and show that a model with lateral viscosity variations ...

Improved Geoid Determination Based on the Shallow-Layer Method: A Case Study Using EGM08 and CRUST2.0 in the Xinjiang and Tibetan Regions

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2013
In this paper we present the concepts and realization of the shallow-layer Shen geoid determination method, which is quite different from the classical geoid modeling methods (Stokes¡¦ method, Molodenskii¡¦s method, etc.), for determining the global or ...
