Abstract The Congo River represents one of the largest freshwater discharges in the Atlantic Ocean. In this study, we investigate the role of mesoscale and submesoscale dynamics in modulating salinity transport, using a 3 km‐resolution realistic numerical simulation.

Observed Trends and Variability in the Water Masses of the Southern Ocean
Abstract We present SatGEM‐2, a new version of the satellite gravest empirical mode (SatGEM) Atlas for the circumpolar Southern Ocean, incorporating all available CTD and Argo profile data through December 2022. SatGEM‐2 uses in situ hydrographic observations to construct static gravest empirical mode (GEM) fields in pressure–sea surface height (sea ...

Impact and Crystallization Modeling of the Sudbury Basin and Its Implications for a Hadean Crust
Abstract The 1.85 Ga Sudbury Structure hosts Earth's largest and best‐preserved impact‐induced melt sheet, the Sudbury Igneous Complex (SIC), which crystallized into distinct noritic, gabbroic, and granophyric layers. We conduct impact simulations with iSALE‐2D and crystallization modeling using alphaMELTS 2 to track the formation and evolution of the ...

Controls on Valley‐Floor Width in the Western Andes
Abstract River‐valley floors are low relief, confined parts of the landscape that store sediment en route from mountains to lowlands. Transient sediment storage influences sediment budgets, biogeochemical cycles, and the preservation of environmental signals. The controls on valley‐floor width remain poorly understood, limiting the ability to reproduce

Alaska‐Yukon Glacier Depths From a Decade of Airborne Radar Sounding
Abstract NASA's Operation IceBridge employed airborne radar sounders in Alaska and adjacent northwestern Canada between 2012 and 2021 to measure the thickness of the region's glaciers. Here we present the first comprehensive analysis of these data, analyzing ∼31,700 linear‐km of radar profile data to provide over 5,500 linear‐km of ice thickness and ...

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research
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 ...

Mesoscale and Submesoscale Variability in the Indian Ocean
Abstract Material transport and air‐sea coupling dynamics associated with monsoon‐related mesoscale and submesoscale processes in the Indian Ocean significantly modulate biogeochemical cycles, the large‐scale energy balance, and both regional and global climate change.
