Gravity waves and high-altitude CO$_2$ ice cloud formation in the Martian atmosphere

open access: yes, 2015
We present the first general circulation model simulations that quantify and reproduce patches of extremely cold air required for CO$_2$ condensation and cloud formation in the Martian mesosphere.

Temperature-Pressure Profile of the hot Jupiter HD 189733b from HST Sodium Observations: Detection of Upper Atmospheric Heating [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We present transmission spectra of the hot Jupiter HD 189733b taken with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph aboard HST. The spectra cover the wavelength range 5808-6380 Ang with a resolving power of R=5000. We detect absorption from the NaI doublet

Impact of gravity wave drag on the thermospheric circulation: implementation of a nonlinear gravity wave parameterization in a whole-atmosphere model [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2019
To investigate the effects of the gravity wave (GW) drag on the general circulation in the thermosphere, a nonlinear GW parameterization that estimates the GW drag in the whole-atmosphere system is implemented in a whole-atmosphere general circulation ...

Coupling Between the Thermosphere and the Stratosphere: the Role of Nitric Oxide [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
In order to understand the lower ionosphere and its probable control by dynamical processes, the behavior of nitric oxide below 100 km was investigated. A two dimensional model with coupled chemical and dynamical processes was constructed.

Sudden Ionospheric Disturbances Generated by Solar Flares—Not so Sudden?

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract It is known that solar flares generate instantaneous ionization enhancement, referred to as sudden ionospheric disturbance (SID), that occurs simultaneously across the entire dayside. In this work, we use high‐rate 1‐s data of total electron content (TEC) to analyse ionospheric response to 13 solar flares that occurred in 2003–2023.

The thermospheric auroral red line polarization: confirmation of detection and first quantitative analysis

open access: yesJournal of Space Weather and Space Climate, 2013
The thermospheric atomic oxygen red line is among the brightest in the auroral spectrum. Previous observations in Longyearbyen, Svalbard, indicated that it may be intrinsically polarized, but a possible contamination by light pollution could not be ruled

A preliminary comparison of Na lidar and meteor radar zonal winds during geomagnetic quiet and disturbed conditions

open access: yes, 2018
We investigate the possibility that sufficiently large electric fields and/or ionization during geomagnetic disturbed conditions may invalidate the assumptions applied in the retrieval of neutral horizontal winds from meteor and/or lidar measurements. As

Do Migrating Semidiurnal Tidal Winds From the Lower Atmosphere Control Thermospheric Winds?

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Lower atmospheric tides are important for driving the thermospheric and ionospheric structure. The effects of different lower atmospheric migrating semidiurnal tidal fields of neutral density, temperature, and winds on the thermospheric winds are investigated by using the global ionosphere‐thermosphere model with forcing of the tides at the ...
