Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

open access: yesReviews 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 ...

Meteor fluxes and visual magnitudes from EISCAT radar event rates: a comparison with cross-section based magnitude estimates and optical data [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 1998
Incoherent scatter radars (ISR) are versatile instruments for continuous monitoring of ionisation processes in the Earth's atmosphere. EISCAT, The European Incoherent Scatter facility has proven effective also in meteor studies. The time resolution of

Relatively Intense Daytime GNSS Amplitude Scintillations at Middle Latitude Linked With Multi‐Layered Strong Es Structures

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Intense Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) amplitude scintillations usually occur in nighttime at low latitudes due to ionospheric plasma bubble irregularities. During daytime at middle latitudes, previous studies found that the sporadic E (Es) layer could lead to GNSS amplitude scintillations, which however, is relatively weak, for ...

Beyond Rock Glaciers: Investigating Meltwater Contribution and Water Quality in High‐Mountain Springs From Different Landforms

open access: yesHydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 4, April 2026.
We investigated the water chemistry of springs from different landforms in high‐elevation Alpine catchments. Only in predisposing lithological settings, springs from landforms most likely influenced by ice had a poor water quality with high dissolved concentrations of metals.

Terrestrial ages of meteorites from the Atacama Desert (Chile) and insights into the past meteorite flux to Earth

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 4, Page 644-663, April 2026.
Abstract The Atacama Desert in Chile is characterized by its high meteorite density and old meteorite terrestrial ages. In this work, we present new terrestrial ages derived from measurements of the concentration of cosmogenic 36Cl in the metal fraction of 51 ordinary chondrites collected over a 6.8 km2 area located in the Catalina Dense Collection ...

On the validity of the ambipolar diffusion assumption in the polar mesopause region [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2008
The decay of underdense meteor trails in the polar mesopause region is thought to be predominantly due to ambipolar diffusion, a process governed by the ambient temperature and pressure.

Mesospheric and Lower Thermospheric Responses to the May 2024 Geomagnetic Storm in the Antarctic Peninsula

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract We analyze the response of mean winds and semidiurnal tides (SDTs) in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT; ∼70–110 km altitude) to the May 2024 geomagnetic super storm, based on meteor radar (MR) observations from King Sejong Station (KSS; geographic: 62.22°S, 58.78°W; geomagnetic: 53.27°S, 10.88°E) in the Antarctic Peninsula.

Determination of meteor-head echo trajectories using the interferometric capabilities of MAARSY [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2013
During the flight of a meteoroid through the neutral atmosphere, the high kinetic energy is sufficient to ionize the meteoric constituents. Radar echoes coming from plasma irregularities surrounding the meteoroids are called meteor-head echoes, and ...

Temperature tides determined with meteor radar [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2002
Abstract. A new analysis method for producing tidal temperature parameters using meteor radar measurements is presented, and is demonstrated with data from one polar and two mid-latitude sites. The technique further develops the temperature algorithm originally introduced by Hocking (1999).

Thousand‐Kilometer‐Scale Wavelike Undulations in Ionospheric Plasma Bubble Lifetime and Development Over Wide Longitudes

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract The irregularities of ionospheric plasma bubbles (EPBs) sequentially generated over wide longitudes are expected to share similar lifetime under normal conditions. In this study, we report a special case where the EPB irregularity lifetime over wide longitudes showed a quasi‐wavelike undulation pattern with wavelength of ∼3,000 km, that is ...
