Impact of NASA’s GDC Measurements on Predicting Earth’s Upper Atmosphere

by Astrid Maute 14 August 202414 August 2024

A new study finds that assimilating observations of the ionosphere and thermosphere reduces the error in model predictions more than modeling either one individually.

Updated Reference Standard for Total Solar Irradiance

by Astrid Maute 29 March 202327 March 2023

Version 2 of the Total and Spectral Solar Irradiance Sensor-1 Hybrid Solar Reference Spectrum captures a spectral resolution spanning 0.115-200 micrometers and integrates nearly 100% of the TSI energy.

Newly Improved Solar Spectral Irradiance Composite Record

by Astrid Maute 11 October 20216 December 2022

A new study accurately captures solar irradiance, which is crucial to understand the energetics and radiation balance of Earth and its influences on the cryosphere, atmosphere, and ocean currents.

GOLD Sees Quasi-Stationary Waves in the Nighttime Ionosphere

by Astrid Maute 12 March 202111 March 2021

The wave-like features in the pre-midnight ionosphere are not moving, vary strongly from day-to-day, and are often associated with the equatorial plasma bubbles, but their origin is still unknown.
