A Top‐Down View of Global and Regional Carbon Budgets From an Ensemble of Atmospheric Inversions

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Atmospheric inversions provide surface CO2 flux estimates based on in situ observed atmospheric CO2 mole fractions or satellite‐based column average CO2 (XCO2). Here, we provide a detailed assessment of 14 atmospheric CO2 inversions included in the Global Carbon Budget (GCB2024).

Spatiotemporal variations of stratospheric aerosol size between 2002 and 2005 from measurements with SAGE III/M3M [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
Stratospheric aerosol size distribution parameters are derived from the multiple-wavelength aerosol extinction retrievals of the SAGE III/M3M instrument (Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment III on the Russian satellite Meteor-3M) and analyzed for ...

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 ...

Balloon observation of aerosols in the antarctic troposphere and stratosphere

Tellus B, 1986
Balloon soundings of aerosols up to 15 km in height were carried out in 1983 at Syowa Station (69°OO´S. 39°35'E), Antarctica. The vertical distribution of the concentration and size distribution of Mie particles (diameter larger than 0.3 μm) was obtained on 3 June and on 16 October.

HIWIND Observation of Daytime Thermospheric Winds Over New Zealand and Comparison With Model Simulation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract A balloon borne Fabry Perot interferometer called High altitude Interferometer WIND observation (HIWIND) flew from Wanaka, New Zealand (44.69S, 169.14E) in April 2025 to observe mid‐latitude thermospheric winds in the southern hemisphere for the first time.

When Thunderstorms Reach the Stratosphere: Why Storm Structure May Matter for Climate

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Deep convection that overshoots the tropopause provides one of the fastest pathways for exchanging air between the troposphere and the stratosphere. Using extensive in situ observations from the dynamics and chemistry of the summer stratosphere (DCOTSS) campaign, Shepherd et al.
