Glacial Earthquakes and Precursory Seismicity Associated With Thwaites Glacier Calving

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2020
We observe two (~MS 3) long‐period (10–30 s) seismic events that originate from the terminus of Thwaites Glacier, Antarctica. Serendipitous acquisition of satellite images confirm that the seismic events were glacial earthquakes generated during the ...

Dust on Snow Radiative Forcing and Contribution to Melt in the Colorado River Basin

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
In the mountainous headwaters of the Colorado River episodic dust deposition from adjacent arid and disturbed landscapes darkens snow and accelerates snowmelt, impacting basin hydrology.

Microphysical Characteristics of Tropical Cyclone Choiwan (2021) Outer Rainbands Derived From Polarimetric Radar Observations on a Research Vessel

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
Microphysical characteristics of tropical cyclones (TCs) over the open ocean remain elusive due to observation constraints. In this study, dual‐polarization observations derived from a ship‐borne C‐band polarimetric radar are utilized to investigate the ...

CMB as a Probe of New Physics and Old Times [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Cosmic birefringence (CB)---a rotation of photon-polarization plane in vacuum---is a generic signature of new scalar fields that could provide dark energy. Previously, WMAP observations excluded a uniform CB-rotation angle larger than a degree.

Changes in Flood Magnitude and Frequency Projected for Vulnerable Regions and Major Wetlands of South America

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
The increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration elevates atmospheric temperature and enhances water storage capacity. This could lead to more extreme precipitation events, while simultaneously, higher temperatures may cause land and soil to dry out.

An Algorithm to Develop a Satellite‐Based Atmospheric River Database

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
Atmospheric rivers (ARs) feature transient filaments of enhanced moisture transport. Given their significant influence on regional weather extremes and global hydrological cycle, there have been extensive AR studies based on reanalyses or in‐situ ...

Hall Scale in the Earth's Magnetosphere and Magnetospheric Substorm

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
We investigate the contribution of the Hall term on the generalized Ohm's law in magnetospheric plasmas. In particular, we focus on its role in processes that lead to the formation of substorm perturbations deep inside the magnetosphere.

High Methane Production and Emission From Tropical Seagrasses Through Methylotrophic Methanogenesis

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
Methane (CH4) is a potent greenhouse gas that reduces the carbon sequestration capacity of seagrass meadows. However, our understanding of CH4 production and emission from these important carbon sinks is limited.

Contributions of Atmospheric Ridging and Low Soil Moisture to the Record‐Breaking June 2023 Mexico‐Texas Heatwave

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
June 2023 witnessed the hottest, largest, and longest‐lasting heatwave across Mexico and Texas between 1940 and 2023. We apply constructed analogs with multiple linear regression models to quantify the contribution of different drivers to daily ...
