Biases and Uncertainties in Radiosonde‐Based Precipitable Water Vapor
Abstract Precipitable water vapor (PWV) plays an important role in weather and climate phenomena. Accurate PWV measurements based on radiosonde observations are essential for assessing remote‐sensing measurements and long‐term trends. This study examines the performance of PWV algorithms, including their intrinsic biases and their sensitivity to ...

Abstract Oceanic lithosphere is continuously destroyed by subduction, challenging our ability to develop tectonic reconstructions. One way to tackle this problem is to examine relics of once‐consumed oceanic domains preserved along convergent margins. In the New England Orogen (eastern Australia), disrupted exposures of ultramafic rocks loosely define ...

Impact of Observatory Visitor Centres on the Public's Understanding of Astronomy
In recent years, formal astronomy education has become an issue of great interest. Indeed, some boards of education now officially include astronomy in their curricula.

Saturn's Auroral Dusk Sector Magnetosphere‐Ionosphere Coupling During Cassini's Proximal Orbits
Abstract The final twenty‐two low‐altitude passes of the Cassini spacecraft enabled the determination of Saturn's field‐aligned currents (FACs) from magnetometer measurements at lower altitudes than previously achieved. We investigate southern dusk‐side FAC behavior with four objectives: how in situ MAG measurements compare to the highly variable ...

A Dynamic Auroral Ionospheric Density Profile Reveals a Planetary‐Scale Cavity at Jupiter
Abstract Low‐altitude measurements above Jupiter's main auroras have shown the presence of persistent auroral density depletions. This low density regime strongly favors auroral acceleration by inertial Alfvén waves to explain the predominance of energetic (100–1,000 keV) broadband electron beams.

Abstract Using temperature retrievals from Akatsuki radio occultation measurements, we characterize gravity wave activity as a function of vertical wavenumber and altitude. For the first time, we estimate the absolute horizontal momentum fluxes and the magnitude of the gravity wave drag (i.e., wave acceleration), assuming a horizontal wavelength of 300

Direct Assimilation of Satellite Visible and Near‐Infrared Radiances to Improve Aerosol Simulations
Abstract Existing satellite‐based aerosol data assimilation approaches mostly rely on assimilating retrieved aerosol products, which suffer from inconsistencies between retrieval assumptions and model representations, as well as uncertainties in the retrieved aerosol parameters.
