Comparison of ICON/MIGHTI and TIMED/SABER Neutral Temperature Measurements at Conjunctions in the Lower Thermosphere

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract This study presents a cross‐comparison of mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) neutral temperatures between 88 and 110 km measured by ICON/Michelson Interferometer for Global High‐resolution Thermospheric Imaging (MIGHTI) and Thermosphere Ionosphere Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics/Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission ...

Observation of Mountain Waves and Secondary Gravity Waves in the Mesosphere Lower Thermosphere Above Patagonia

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract We find observational evidence for mountain waves (MWs) and secondary gravity waves (2GWs) in the OH*(3‐1) layer above Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. On the night of 21–22 May 2018, the Advanced Mesospheric Temperature Mapper (AMTM) obtained temperatures at ∼84 ${\sim} 84$ km.

Preservation of Historically and Scientifically Important Geospatial Data From Venus

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract A large volume of scientifically and historically important data from the early exploration of Venus is not widely available to researchers. Our work is focused on ameliorating this problem with the archival of geospatial data including radar, topography, and radiometry.

Passive Microwave Radiometry and Active Radar Sounding as Complementary Tools for Geophysical Investigations of Icy Ocean Worlds

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Juno Microwave Radiometer (MWR) observations of Europa and Ganymede offer critical insights into the icy shells of these moons ahead of NASA's Europa Clipper and ESA's JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE) missions. Both missions are equipped with active radar sounders designed to address key unknowns such as ice shell thickness, thermal state ...

Monitoring Flood Inundation Dynamics From Space

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract With the increasing intensity and frequency of flood events worldwide, the need for accurate and timely inundation mapping has never been more critical. Large‐scale flood extent estimations are vital for coordinating effective disaster response, facilitating recovery, and building future resilience.

Role of the Diurnal Tide in Driving the Westward Phase of the Mesospheric Semiannual Oscillation Around March Equinox

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract The mesospheric semiannual oscillation (MSAO) in tropical zonal‐mean zonal winds exhibits a strong westward phase around March equinox. It has been thought that the migrating diurnal tide (DW1) plays a role in the initiation of this phase because DW1 peaks around this time and satellite observations have shown it to undergo wave breaking.

Titan's Plains Revealed: Evidence for a Layered Surface

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Undifferentiated plains are the most common terrain type on Titan, yet their composition and geologic history remain poorly understood. To better characterize their physical properties, we combined Cassini RADAR measurements from nadir altimetry and side‐looking SAR modes. We analyzed these data using radar backscatter models, finding that the

The Characteristics of Pekeris Modes Revealed by Long‐Term Reanalysis Data JAWARA Covering the Entire Middle Atmosphere

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.
Abstract The characteristics of Pekeris modes as well as Lamb modes are investigated using the new reanalysis data set JAWARA, which spans over 19 years and covers the entire middle atmosphere. Pekeris modes are a class of global normal modes whose energy is trapped in two height regions that is, around the stratopause and the surface, while the energy

Microwave radiometry over Titan's seas and lakes

, 2013
In its passive, or radiometry, mode of operation, the Cassini Radar measures the microwave thermal emission from the surface at a wavelength of 2.2 cm. In doing so, it provides unique insight into surface properties of Saturn's largest moon Titan such as

SMAP Satellite Microwave Radiometry to Monitor River Flow and Lake Level in the Lower Mekong Basin

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The NASA Soil Moisture Active Passive Mission (SMAP) satellite passive microwave radiometry (PMR) capability is demonstrated for measurements of river stage, river discharge, and lake level with in situ gauging data in the Lower Mekong Basin (LMB).
