All Shocked Meteorites Were Shocked at Significant Depth in Their Parent Bodies
We have recently realized that it is virtually impossible for a meteorite to survive strong shock unless it is well below the surface of a parent body.

Coordinated Study of Coherent Radar Backscatter and Optical Airglow Depletions in the Central Pacific
We present a climatology of optical airglow images and 50 MHz coherent backscatter from the Pacific sector from solar maximum (January 2002) to solar minimum (January 2009).

Sediment-Water Exchange on the Georgia Mid-Shelf
As part of BOTTOMS-UP, we have developed novel independent and non-invasive methods for time series sampling of porewater constituents and for estimation of time and depth-dependent fluid exchange rates within…

On Seeding Equatorial Spread F: Circular Gravity Waves
We show, for the first time, how two more of the puzzling features in observed plasma structure, referred to as equatorial spread F, can finally be explained, if we allow GWs…

Examining the Impact of Overlying Aerosols on the Retrieval of Cloud Optical Properties from Passive Remote Sensing
We show that cloud retrievals from aircraft measurements above cloud and below an overlying aerosol layer are a means to test this bias.

Radar, Lidar, and Optical Observations in the Polar Summer Mesosphere Shortly After a Space Shuttle Launch
Here we consider the ion chemistry that could lead to the collocated atom and iron layers and conclude that considerably enhanced water vapor content was required.

The Mixed Lineage Nature of Nitrogen Transport and Assimilation in Marine Eukaryotic Phytoplankton: a Case Study of Micromonas
We performed in silico analyses of nitrogen transporters and related assimilation genes in CCMP1545 and RCC299 and compared these with other green lineage organisms as well as Chromalveolata, fungi, bacteria,…

On Large-Scale Wave Structure and Equatorial Spread F Without a Post-Sunset Rise of the F Layer
Large-scale wave structure (LSWS) and the plasma structure, referred to as equatorial spread F (ESF), are shown, for the first time, to develop on a night, when the post-sunset rise (PSSR) of…

Space-Based Constraints on Spatial and Temporal Patterns of NOx Emissions in California, 2005-2008
We describe ground and space-based measurements of spatial and temporal variation of NO2 in four California metropolitan regions.

Spectacular Low- and Mid-Latitude Electrical Fields and Neutral Winds During a Superstorm
In November 2004, a major magnetic storm occurred, a lengthy portion of which was recorded by the Upper Atmospheric Radar Chain.

IPY Observations of Ionospheric Yearly Variations from High- to Middle-Latitude Incoherent Scatter Radars
The main focus of this paper is on the noon-time baseline annual and semiannual variations, with an emphasis on the less-known height dependency, for those geophysically important areas.

On Seeding Equatorial Spread F During Solstices
Seasonal migration and latitudinal alignment of the inter-tropical convergence zone with the magnetic dip equator is suggested as the missing source, and shown able to fill that void.
