Research in geophysics

Environmental geophysics: Mundane applied geophysics

Welcome readers to this issue’s column on geophysics applied to the environment. In this column I am going to expound on some fascinating “research” on which I have been working (is there a Nobel P......

Gondwana Six: Structure, Tectonics, and Geophysics

This volume contains ma ny of the papers presented at the Sixth International Gondwana Symposium, held at the Institute of Polar Studies, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, August 19-23, 1985. The symposium was the first held outsid...

Comparison of the GOSAT TANSO-FTS TIR CH volume mixing ratio vertical profiles with those measured by ACE-FTS, ESA MIPAS, IMK-IAA MIPAS, and 16 NDACC stations

The primary instrument on the Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite (GOSAT) is the Thermal And Near infrared Sensor for carbon Observations (TANSO) Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS). TANSO-FTS uses three short-wave infrared (SWIR) band...

Multitask Learning Mechanism for Remote Sensing Image Motion Deblurring

As a fundamental preprocessing technique, remote sensing image motion deblurring is important for visual understanding tasks. Most conventional approaches formulate the image motion deblurring task as a kernel estimation. Because the kernel...

Terrestrial Remote Sensing of Snowmelt in a Diverse High-Arctic Tundra Environment Using Time-Lapse Imagery

Snow cover is one of the crucial factors influencing the plant distribution in harsh Arctic regions. In tundra environments, wind redistribution of snow leads to a very heterogeneous spatial distribution which influences growth conditions f...

The Response of Radiative Forcing to High Spatiotemporally Resolved Land‐Use Change and Transition From 1982 to 2010 in China

Abstract Significant uncertainties remain in the estimate of radiative forcing (RF) induced by land‐use change (LUC), partially attributable to the lack of reliable LUC data with a high spatiotemporal resolution. We implemented a high spati...

Settlement process of radioactive dust to the ground inferred from the atmospheric electric field measurement

Radioactive materials from the accident at Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant (FNPP) in March 2011 spread over a large area, increasing the atmospheric electric conductivity by their ionizing effect, and reducing the vertical (downwa...

Generation of layering in the upper arctic troposphere away from the jet stream

Ozone sounding databases for two stations, So-dankylä (67° N, 27° E) and Ny-Ålesund (79° N, 12° E) were used in order to investigate the generation of layering in the upper and middle troposphere of the Arctic. We concentrated on dry,...

The Integrity and Tightness of Underground Hydrogen Storage Systems: A Critical Review of Geological Barriers, Well Sealing, Leakage Risks and Future Perspectives

Underground storage of green hydrogen is a strategic enabler of large-scale renewable deployment, but its feasibility rests on a hard problem: keeping a small, highly mobile molecule confined underground for decades without safety or enviro...

Surface and Subsurface Biogeochemical Impacts of the 2019 Northeast Pacific Marine Heatwave

Abstract Following the highly impactful 2013–2016 Marine Heatwave (MHW), another MHW occurred in the Northeast Pacific during summer 2019. While the physical drivers of this event are well described, its biogeochemical impacts remain poorly...

Water Tank Experiments on Stratified Flow over Double Mountain-Shaped Obstacles at High-Reynolds Number

In this article, we present an overview of the HyIV-CNRS-SecORo (Hydralab IV-CNRS-Secondary Orography and Rotors Experiments) laboratory experiments carried out in the CNRM (Centre National de Recherches Météorologiques) large stratified wa...

THE OVERVIEW OF THE PLANETARY ATMOSPHERIC SPECTRAL TELESCOPE (PAST) IN THE SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTAL SYSTEM IN NEAR-SPACE (SENSE)

To investigate mass transport and energy dissipation in space environments for solar system planet, a balloon-borne planetary atmospheric spectral telescope (PAST) is designed with 0.8-m aperture in spectral range from 280 nm to 680&...

Distribution and Abundance of Solar Wind‐Derived Water in Chang'E‐5 Core Samples and Its Implications

Abstract Knowledge regarding the abundance and distribution of solar wind (SW)‐sourced water (OH/H2O) on the Moon in the shallow subsurface remains limited. Here, we report the NanoSIMS measurements of H abundances and D/H ratios on soil gr...

The mechanism of excavation-induced rockbursts in ultra-thick soft-hard composite coal seams at shallow depths: an experimental study

Abstract Ultra-thick soft-hard (UTSH) composite coal seams, composed of alternating layers of soft and hard coal, frequently experience severe rockburst accidents during roadway excavation under shallow burial depths (...

Shear Wave Splitting and Mantle Flow in Mexico: What Have we Learned?

El presente artículo es un resumen y análisis de los estudios de partición de ondas transversales (shear wave splitting) para el manto superior que se han realizado en México durante la última década. Cuando una onda sísmica entra en un med...

Enlarging Rainfall Area of Tropical Cyclones by Atmospheric Aerosols

Abstract The size of a tropical cyclone (TC), measured by the area of either rainfall or wind, is an important indicator for the potential damage by TC. Modeling studies suggested that aerosols tend to enhance rainfall in the outer rainband...

Spatial random downscaling of rainfall signals in Andean heterogeneous terrain

Remotely sensed data are often used as proxies for indirect precipitation measures over data-scarce and complex-terrain areas such as the Peruvian Andes. Although this information might be appropriate for some research requirements, the ext...
