Hydrogen Collisions in Planetary Atmospheres, Ionospheres, and Magnetospheres
Here we present a critical evaluation of the current state of understanding of the chemical reaction rates and collision cross sections for several important hydrogen collision processes in planetary atmospheres, ionospheres,…

Comparison of Water Vapor Measurements By Airborne Sun Photometer and Diode Laser Hygrometeron the NASA DC-8
The AATS measured column water vapor on the aircraft-to-sun path, while the DLH measured local water vapor in the free stream between the aircraft fuselage and an outboard engine cowling.

Satellite Traces: an Ionogram Signature for Large-Scale Wave Structure and a Precursor for Equatorial Spread F
There is evidence that the appearance of large-scale wave structure (LSWS) in the bottomside F layer, around the time of its post-sunset rise (PSSR), is a more-direct precursor of ESF than the…

Acceleration Compensation for Vehicle Based Telesurgery on Earth or in Space
This paper introduces new work focused on compensating for unintended master and slave manipulator motion resulting from accelerations of the environment within which they are operated.

Observations of Wintertime Arctic Mesosphere Cooling Associated with Stratosphere Baroclinic Zones
We propose that these types of mesosphere cooling events are related to stratospheric baroclinic zones and a Q-vector analysis of stratospheric geopotential and temperature fields can be used to help…

On Blanketing Sporadic E and Polarization Effects Near the Equatorial Electrojet
A number of puzzling features have been observed that occur during the day in the vicinity of the equatorial electrojet (EEJ).

Ground-Level Nitrogen Dioxide Concentrations Inferred from the Satellite-Borne Ozone Monitoring Instrument
We present an approach to infer ground-level NO2 concentrations by applying local scaling factors from a global three-dimensional model to tropospheric NO2 columns retrieved from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument onboard the…

Photoemission Phenomena in the Solar System
We present current information in various categories—measurements of the airglows of the terrestrial planets, the dayglows of the outer planets and satellites, aurora throughout the solar system, observations of cometary…

The Coating Hypothesis for Ammonia Ice Particles in Jupiter: Laboratory Experiments and Optical Modeling
We report laboratory experiments and modeling calculations investigating the effect of a hydrocarbon coating on ammonia ice spectral signatures.

Root-Mean-Square Surface Slopes of Phoenix Landing Sites with 75-Cm Bistatic Radar Received By Mars Odyssey
Between August and December 2005, we conducted 76 oblique-incidence scattering experiments using the SRI International 46-m antenna in the Stanford foothills to illuminate Mars for 20-min periods with an unmodulated,…

Applicability of Information Theory to the Quantification of Responses to Anthropogenic Noise By Southeast Alaskan Humpback Whales
We assess the effectiveness of applying information theory to the characterization and quantification of the affects of anthropogenic vessel noise on humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) vocal behavior in and around…

Asymmetry of Plasma Fluxes at Mars. Aspera-3 Observations and Hybrid Simulations
The results of the observations are compared to simulations based on a 3D hybrid model with several ion species.
