Variability of the Martian ionosphere from the MAVEN Radio Occultation Science Experiment

Earth and Planetary Physics, 2019
The Martian ionosphere is produced by a number of controlling processes, including solar extreme ultraviolet radiation (EUV) and X-ray ionization, impact ionization by precipitating electrons, and day-to-night transport.

Species-dependent ion escape on Titan

Earth and Planetary Physics, 2019
Cassini observations over the past ten years have revealed that Titan possesses a chemically complex ionosphere. In this study, we investigate the relative contributions of different ion species to the total ion escape on Titan, by dividing all ion ...

Building a Continental‐Scale Geodetic Network: The Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO)

Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 7, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract The Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO) transformed the use of geodesy in North America to study crustal deformation and plate boundary processes by establishing a continental‐scale, standardized, open‐access geodetic network. Built and operated by UNAVCO between 2003 and 2018 as part of the National Science Foundation (NSF)‐funded EarthScope ...

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

Reviews 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 ...

Large‐Scale Magnetosheath Jets Formed by Shock‐Discontinuity Interactions: A Three‐Dimensional Global Hybrid Simulation

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Magnetosheath high‐speed jets with enhanced dynamic pressure are common in Earth's magnetosheath and can impinge on the magnetopause, driving pronounced boundary deformation. Recent observations indicate that shock–discontinuity interactions (SDIs) can generate magnetosheath jets, but the formation mechanism is still unclear.

Initial Atmospheric Waves Experiment (AWE) Imaging Analyses: Gravity Wave Sources, Temperatures, Pseudomomentum Fluxes, and Horizontal Wavenumber Spectra at the OH Layer

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract The NASA Atmospheric Waves Experiment (AWE) employs an OH imager that began measurements aboard the International Space Station (ISS) on 22 November 2023. The motivation for AWE was to quantify gravity wave (GW) responses to diverse sources and their influences extending into the mesosphere and higher altitudes.

Drivers of Mid‐Latitude Quiet‐Time Longitude Variations in Ionospheric Density

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The aim of this study is to provide an observational benchmark of mid‐latitude quiet‐time variability in winds, O/N2, and TEC across longitude and local time to provide a foundation for future model–data comparison studies. The quiet‐time ionospheric structure is not uniform but rather exhibits pronounced longitudinal and local‐time ...
