The Structure and Dynamics of Hot Jupiter Upper Atmospheres [PDF]
, 2017 Gas giant exoplanets orbiting close to their parent stars (``hot Jupiters") experience radiation and stellar wind flux $\sim 10^4$ times higher than solar system giants. Energy deposited at high altitude heats and ionizes their upper atmospheres, where densities are sufficiently low that magnetic forces can dominate the dynamics of the gas --- physics ...

Probability distribution function of the upper equatorial Pacific current speeds
Geophysical Research Letters, 2008 The probability distribution function (PDF) of the upper (0–50 m) tropical Pacific current speeds (w), constructed from hourly ADCP data (1990–2007) at six stations for the Tropical Atmosphere Ocean project, satisfies the two‐parameter Weibull ...

CUAD: Constellation for Upper Atmosphere Dynamics
, 2018 This paper introduces a method of observing upper atmosphere (tropopause to over 200 Km, day and night) dynamics with simple small static passive broadband gas filtered imagers in low earth orbit. The method produces modulated signals by Doppler Scanning with Gas Filters (DSGF) and observing the atmosphere over a range of angles, from limb to nadir ...

Dynamics investigation in the Venus upper atmosphere
, 2016 The O_2 nightglow emissions in the infrared spectral range are important features to investigate dynamics at the mesospheric altitudes, in the planetary atmosphere. In this work, we analyzed the profiles obtained at limb by the VIRTIS spectrometer on board the Venus Express mission, acquired during the mission period from 2006-07-05 to 2008-08-15 to ...

Aeronomy of Mars: An observational study of the dynamic martian upper atmosphere
, 2020 The Martian upper atmosphere is highly dynamic over both short and long temporal and spatial scales. Our understanding of this region primarily stems from a wealth of data gathered both in-situ and remotely from spacecraft orbiting the Red Planet. In 2014 NASA's Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) spacecraft began orbiting Mars with the ...
