Physics reach of high-energy and high-statistics IceCube atmospheric neutrino data [PDF]
This paper investigates the physics reach of the IceCube neutrino detector when it will have collected a data set of order one million atmospheric neutrinos with energies in the 0.1 \sim 10^4 TeV range. The paper consists of three parts.

Can Solar Cyclic Variability Mimic Extreme Solar Particle (Miyake) Events in Radiocarbon?
Abstract Rapid, strong enhancements in Δ14 ${{\Delta }}^{14}$C in the Earth's atmosphere, known as Miyake events, rarely occurred over the past millennia, pointing to major radiation storms affecting Earth. They are produced by extreme solar particle events (ESPEs) and are separated by an order‐of‐magnitude gap in the strength from directly observed ...

Ship‐Based GNSS Tsunami Detection: Pilot Network Demonstration
Abstract We demonstrate the potential for ship‐based GNSS systems to contribute to tsunami warning. We built a pilot network of 10 ships—8 commercial and 2 research vessels—equipped with a tsunami detection package consisting of a geodetic‐grade GNSS antenna and receiver, and satellite internet communications.

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

Abstract Water ice is an important rock‐forming mineral, both on the Earth and on various extraterrestrial bodies. Naturally occurring ice is often “dirty”–an intimate mixture with harder mineral grains, which can have significant effects on the bulk properties of the aggregate. We have used neutron powder diffraction, with in situ triaxial deformation,

Probing the high latitude ionosphere from ground-based observations: The state of current knowledge and capabilities during IPY (2007-2009) [PDF]
During the International Polar Year (IPY), one area of great interest is co-coordinated, multi-instrument probing of the ionosphere at high latitudes. This region is important not only for the applications that rely upon our understanding of it, but also

Abstract Land surface models (LSMs) such as the Community Land Model version 5 (CLM5) are central to climate–carbon assessments but exhibit persistent biases relative to site‐level observations. It remains unclear to what extent model‐data mismatches arise from uncertainty in meteorological forcing, soil properties, or vegetation traits, and to what ...

On the physical basis of cosmic time [PDF]
In this manuscript we initiate a systematic examination of the physical basis for the time concept in cosmology. We discuss and defend the idea that the physical basis of the time concept is necessarily related to physical processes which could ...

The influence of galactic cosmic rays on ion-neutral hydrocarbon chemistry in the upper atmospheres of free-floating exoplanets [PDF]
The authors highlight financial support of the European Community under the FP7 by an ERC starting grant.Cosmic rays may be linked to the formation of volatiles necessary for prebiotic chemistry.

Abstract The high‐latitude ionosphere exhibits rapid spatial and temporal variability during geomagnetically active periods, creating persistent challenges for accurate nowcasts. The High‐latitude Workbox for the Ionosphere (HAWK‐I) is a real‐time ionosphere nowcast and specification system designed for operational deployment to address these ...
