Seasonal and Local Time Variation in the Observed Peak of the Meteor Altitude Distributions by Meteor Radars JGR Atmospheres, 2024 (Ref: 17209)

Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Meteoroids of sub-milligram sizes burn up high in the Earth's atmosphere and cause streaks of plasma trails detectable by meteor radars. The altitude at which these trails, or meteors…

Yang Q.Downey R.Stark J.S.Johnstone G.J.Mitchell J.G.

Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Microbial communities in Antarctic marine sponges have distinct taxonomic and functional profiles due to low temperatures, seasonal days and nights, and geographic isolation. These sponge holobionts contribute to nutrient cycling, structural habitat formation, and benthic ecosystem resilience.

Gravity waves generated by the Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha?apai volcanic eruption and their global propagation in the mesosphere/lower thermosphere observed by meteor radars and modeled with the High-Altitude general Mechanistic Circulation Model. Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2024 (Ref: 17149)

Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha?apai volcano erupted on 15 January 2022, launching Lamb waves and gravity waves into the atmosphere. In this study, we present results using 13 globally distributed meteor radars and identify the volcanogenic gravity waves in the mesospheric/lower thermospheric winds.
