The two‐dimensional evolution of thermospheric ∑O/N2 response to weak...
We conduct observational and modeling studies of thermospheric composition responses to weak geomagnetic activity (nongeomagnetic storms). We found that the thermospheric O and...- publication PDF

Another record: Ocean warming continues through 2021 despite La Niña conditions
The increased concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere from human activities traps heat within the climate system and increases ocean heat content (OHC). Here, we...- publication PDF
