Orbiter Pair Expands View of Martian Ionosphere

Sarah Stanley, Science Writer by Sarah Stanley 20 June 202519 June 2025

Radio signals sent between two Mars orbiters—rather than between an orbiter and an Earth-based receiver—capture new insights into atmospheric dynamics.

Water Density Shifts Can Drive Rapid Changes in AMOC Strength

Sarah Stanley, Science Writer by Sarah Stanley 28 May 202528 May 2025

High-latitude variations in density, which appear to be driven by changes in atmospheric pressure, can propagate to midlatitudes and affect the current’s strength within just a year.

When Ice Ages End, Ocean Circulation Fine-Tunes Ocean Heat

Sarah Stanley, Science Writer by Sarah Stanley 14 April 202514 April 2025

New Antarctic ice core data bolster model predictions of ocean heat content during glacials and interglacials.

Four seemingly identical, octagonal, disklike structures, each with several various thin antennas extending outward at various angles, appear to be floating in a closely spaced cluster in space. In the background, on the right side of the image, is the round shape of the planet Earth, encircled by translucent, overlapping blue and purple lines.
