summary during recent decades, climate change and re‑oligotrophication have been affecting many lakes. most long‑term research focuses on large north american and northern european lakes, but climate forcing south of the alps seems to be different. furthermore, lake restoration frequently involves smaller lakes (<10...
effects of re‑oligotrophication and climate change on lake thermal structure
statistical correlations are reported between measured electron temperatures and total electric field wave power (in the 2-100 hz frequency range), at mars' subsolar point ionosphere. the observations, made by the mars atmosphere and volatile evolution spacecraft, suggest that electric field wave power from the mars-so...
correlations between enhanced electron temperatures and electric field wave power in the martian ionosphere
the martian crustal magnetic field modifies the structure of the ionosphere, the loss of atmosphere to space, and the interactions of the upper atmosphere with the solar wind. the mars advanced radar for subsurface and ionosphere sounding topside sounder on mars express has regularly observed oblique echoes from magnet...
extremely high plasma densities in the mars ionosphere associated with cusp-like magnetic fields
the solar energy can mainly be divided into two categories: the solar radiation and the solar wind. the former maximizes at the equator, generating various disturbances over a wide height range and causing vertical coupling processes of the atmosphere between the troposphere and middle and upper atmospheres by upward p...
