Ou Wang, 2024, "What forcing mechanisms affect the interannual sea level co-variability between the Northeast and Southeast Coasts of the United States?", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.6MESED, Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, JPL Open Repository
Interannual sea-level variations between the United States (U.S.) Northeast and Southeast Coasts separated by Cape Hatteras are significantly less correlated than those within their respective sectors, but the cause is poorly understood. Here we investigate atmospheric forcing me... |

Armin Kleinboehl, 2024, "Water Transport in the Mars Northern Polar Atmosphere: Observations and Simulations", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.2AX4NA, Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, JPL Open Repository
This study involving both observations and simulations furthers our understanding of water transport in the northern polar region, a critical component of the global water cycle, and explores strengths and weaknesses in simulations of the polar atmosphere. Observations of the nor... |

Catherine Clark, 2024, "VaTEST III: Validation of 8 Potential Super-Earths from TESS Data", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.HN8VQZ, Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, JPL Open Repository
NASA’s all-sky survey mission, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), is specifically engineered to detect exoplanets that transit bright stars. Thus far, TESS has successfully identified approximately 400 transiting exoplanets, in addition to roughly 6000 candidate ex... |

Amy Hofmann, 2024, "Using Io’s sulfur isotope cycle to understand the history of tidal heating", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.NHTGFF, Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, JPL Open Repository
Stable isotope fractionation of sulfur offers a window into the history of tidal heating of Io, which is difficult to constrain because Io’s dynamic atmosphere and high resurfacing rates leave it with a young surface. Using literature constraints on relevant isotopic fractionatio... |

Marzia Parisi, 2024, "Uranus orbiter and probe: a radio science investigation to determine the planet’s gravity field, depth of the winds and tidal deformations", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.OBTWDC, The Planetary Science Journal, JPL Open Repository
Uranus is the proposed target of NASA's next large-scale mission. The orbiter and probe concept is generating considerable interest in identifying top-priority objectives and the associated instruments essential for addressing the most pressing science questions. In particular, t... |

Joana Voigt, 2024, "Unraveling Geologic Processes and Aqueous Alteration at Tyrrhena Terra, Mars", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.OXSPKN, JGR: Planets, JPL Open Repository
The central eastern Tyrrhena Terra region of Mars contains abundant aqueously altered minerals including Fe/Mg-smectites, smectite/chlorite mixtures, chlorites, zeolites, and carbonates. This study relates detections of these alteration-generated materials with mafic outcrops, ge... |

Nereida Rodriguez Alvarez, 2024, "Unlocking the Potential of Graph Signal Processing: Enhancing SMAP Soil Moisture Estimates with SMAP-Reflectometer Data", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.SKTRVC, Remote Sensing, JPL Open Repository
The Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission has greatly contributed to the use of remote sensing technologies for observing the Earth’s land surface and estimating geophysical parame-ters that influence the climate system. Since the SMAP mission switched its radar receiver to... |

Chad Greene, 2024, "Ubiquitous acceleration in calving of the Greenland Ice Sheet, 1985-2022", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.THPP7B, Nature, JPL Open Repository
Nearly every glacier in Greenland has thinned or retreated over the past few decades1–4 . Terminus12 retreat can accelerate glacier flow, causing sea level rise5–8 , and excess iceberg calving increases13 freshwater input into the ocean, impacting ocean circulation and the distri... |

Aditya Khuller, 2024, "Turbulent Fluxes and Evaporation/Sublimation Rates on Earth, Mars, Titan, and Exoplanets", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.39K20Z, Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, JPL Open Repository
Turbulent fluxes of heat, momentum, and humidity in the atmospheric boundary layer are pivotal to the evolution of geology, weather and climate, and the possibility of life.Here we extend recent advances in calculating these near-surface turbulent fluxes in the Earth's atmospheri... |
