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 ...

Drivers of F‐Region Ionosphere Tidal Variability Caused by the Madden Julian Oscillation: Separating E‐Region Dynamo and Field‐Aligned Wind Effects

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The Madden–Julian Oscillation (MJO), a recurring intraseasonal (30–96 days) disturbance in the troposphere, strongly influences the E‐region and F‐region ionosphere through its modulation of atmospheric tides. Among these, the diurnal eastward wave number 3 (DE3) tide, driven by MJO‐modulated latent heating, carries MJO signals upward into the

Spatio-Temporal Assessment of Tuz Gölü, Turkey as a Potential Radiometric Vicarious Calibration Site

Remote Sensing, 2014
The paper provides an assessment of Tuz Gölü, a site in Turkey proposed for the radiometric vicarious calibration of satellite sensors, in terms of its spatial homogeneity as expressed in visible and near-infrared (VNIR) wavelengths over a 25-year period

Ionospheric Vertical Plasma Drifts Over South America: Long‐Term Multi‐Instrument Observations and TIEGCM and WACCM‐X Evaluations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract We present the first comprehensive multi‐instrument climatological study of quiet‐time equatorial F‐region vertical plasma drifts across South America, a region where the magnetic declination angle varies significantly. Our analysis of well‐established long‐term ground‐based data sets from the Jicamarca incoherent scatter radar spanning 1968 ...

New High Precision Measurements of Apollo Samples: 0.3–5 GHz Complex Refractive Indices

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Active and passive radar techniques provide information on the subsurface structure and history of planetary bodies. However, interpretations of radar data are limited by our understanding of the complex dielectric permittivity and magnetic permeability of the surface material.

Noise hazard to the population of areas connected with functioning of roadway frontier crossings

Archives of Acoustics, 2014
In spite of Polish observing the Schengen Convention connected with the freedom of internal moving in European Union, the problem of operating the external frontiers is still valid. Such border crossings can be crossed only at the special border crossing

Snow Depth on Arctic Sea Ice Retrieval Using a Synergy of Sentinel‐3's Active and Passive Microwave Instruments

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract Snow depth remains one of the largest sources of uncertainty in satellite‐derived sea ice thickness (SIT). Here, we introduce the novel Nadir Radiometer and Radar Synergy (NaRRS) method that combines data from Sentinel‐3's Microwave Radiometer (MWR) and Synthetic Aperture Radar Altimeter (SRAL) to retrieve Arctic snow depth on sea ice.
