Ionospheric Observatory Development At Mario Zucchelli Station
Since 1995 Italian Ionospheric Antarctic Observatory at Terra Nova Bay, now “MARIO ZUCCHELLI”, station (geographic coordinates: 74.70°S, 164.11°E) performs continuous and systematic ionospheric vertical soundings.

Global Ionospheric Responses to Four X‐Class Solar Flares in November 2025
Abstract We investigate global ionospheric responses to four X‐class solar‐disk flares that occurred in November 2025 from the same solar active region, using multi‐instrument observations including GNSS, ionosonde, geomagnetic and GOES solar irradiance data. Pronounced dayside TEC enhancements are observed for three flares (#2 X1.2, #3 X5.1, and #4 X4.

Surface Clutter Suppression Techniques for Ice Sounding Radars: Analysis of Airborne Data [PDF]
For the ice sounding of Antarctica from space, a P-band radar at 435 MHz is the only option which complies with present ITU regulations. At this frequency the ice surface cannot be considered smooth, leading to high ambiguous returns.

The May 2024 Storm: The Cusps and Dayside Magnetopause in Simulated Soft X‐Rays
Abstract The coronal mass ejection (CME) arriving at Earth on 10 May 2024 caused the most intense geomagnetic storm in the last two decades, resulting in highly unusual cusp and magnetopause dynamics. We simulate soft X‐Ray emission due to solar wind charge exchange with exospheric neutrals to image the global dayside dynamics, focusing on the impact ...

Enhancement of the Nighttime Ocean Cool Skin Effect by Natural Surfactants
Abstract The ocean interface brightness temperature is sensitive to the biologic activity reflected by the chlorophyll‐a concentration (Chla) in the upper layers of the oceans. This is shown using sea surface skin temperatures Tskin retrieved from spectra recorded by the Infrared Atmospheric Sounder Interferometer and collocated measurements of bulk ...

Convective Amplification of Ionospheric Feedback by a Finite‐Duration Inertial Alfvén‐Wave Source
Abstract We investigate the ionospheric feedback instability (IFI) driven by a finite‐duration localized source of inertial Alfvén waves. Wave‐excited conductance perturbations undergo Pedersen mobility drift in the convection and wave electric fields and are amplified.

A Radio Science Experiment for Dragonfly to Investigate Titan's Rotation and Interior Structure
Abstract NASA's mission Dragonfly to Titan is scheduled for launch in 2028 with arrival in 2034 to study Titan's prebiotic chemistry and habitability. We propose a radio science experiment for Dragonfly, in which radiometric tracking of the rotorcraft from the Deep Space Network, already baselined for communications and navigation, is used as a ...

Features of backscatter ionospheric sounding as studied with a chirp ionosonde
We present the results of the studies of backscatter ionospheric sounding (BS) on the basis of a multipurpose chirp ionosonde developed in ISTP SB RAS. We analyze BS experimental data obtained during different seasons from 2005 to 2009.
