Ceres: Missing Craters, Crust Thickness Variation by Interior Convection

by Bethany Ehlmann 18 July 202217 February 2023

Models show that several puzzling features about Ceres’ topography, gravity anomalies, and crater size distribution may be explained by asymmetric hemispherical convection due to radiogenic heating.

It’s Cool to be Short When You’re in the Arctic Permafrost

by Ankur R. Desai 15 July 202225 July 2022

Extensive ground temperature measurements complicate our understanding of how vegetation cover, snow duration, and microtopography influence the pace of permafrost thaw in a changing climate.

More Accurately Modeling Rain Formation

by Tapio Schneider 14 July 202222 December 2022

Rain and cloud droplets are treated as distinct categories in most models yet lie on a continuous droplet size spectrum in nature. Representing them as part of a continuous spectrum improves models.

Explaining Uncertainty in Estimates of Rain Response to Warming

by Alessandra Giannini 13 July 202225 July 2022

Humidity increases with warming. Theory and observations about how increased humidity translates into more extreme rainfall can be reconciled if attention is paid to data and methods.

An Ocean Surface Layer with Potential

by Lars Umlauf 11 July 202217 August 2022

The depth of the ocean’s surface mixed layer is typically defined based on density thresholds. However, a more physically appealing definition can be constructed from potential energy considerations.
