On a simple, data-aided analytic description of the morphology of equatorial F-region zonal plasma driftsProgress in Earth and Planetary Science - - 2021
Samuel A. Shidler, Fabiano S. Rodrigues
We present results of an effort to evaluate the ability of an analytic model to describe the behavior of the equatorial zonal plasma drifts given inputs provided by readily available climatological models of thermospheric and ionospheric parameters. In a data-model fusion approach, we used vertical drift measurements to drive the model and zonal drift measurements to evaluate its output. Drift mea...... hiện toàn bộ
Terrestrial planet compositions controlled by accretion disk magnetic fieldProgress in Earth and Planetary Science - Tập 8 - Trang 1-12 - 2021
William F. McDonough, Takashi Yoshizaki
Terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are differentiated into three layers: a metallic core, a silicate shell (mantle and crust), and a volatile envelope of gases, ices, and, for the Earth, liquid water. Each layer has different dominant elements (e.g., increasing iron content with depth and increasing oxygen content to the surface). Chondrites, the building blocks of the terrestri...... hiện toàn bộ
Geophysical constraints on microbial biomass in subseafloor sediments and coal seams down to 2.5 km off Shimokita Peninsula, JapanProgress in Earth and Planetary Science - Tập 5 - Trang 1-17 - 2018

To understand the ability of microbial life to inhabit a deep subseafloor coalbed sedimentary basin, the correlation between fluid transport properties and the abundance of microbial cells was investigated based on core samples collected down to about 2.5 km below the seafloor during the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 337 off the Shimokita Peninsula, Japan. The overall depth profiles...... hiện toàn bộ
Hydrothermal system in the Tatun Volcano Group, northern Taiwan, inferred from crustal resistivity structure by audio-magnetotelluricsProgress in Earth and Planetary Science - Tập 1 - Trang 1-14 - 2014

The present study proposes an improved conceptual model for the hydrothermal system in the Tatun Volcano Group in northern Taiwan. In the study, audio-magnetotellurics (AMT) surveys were conducted to reveal the spatial distribution of resistivity, which is highly sensitive to fluids and hydrothermal alteration. By combining the obtained resistivity structure with other geophysical and geochemical ...... hiện toàn bộ
Structure and properties of forsterite-MgSiO3 liquid interface: molecular dynamics studyProgress in Earth and Planetary Science - Tập 1 - Trang 1-14 - 2014
Fumiya Noritake, Katsuyuki Kawamura
The mechanical properties of partially molten rock, such as their permeabilities and viscosities, are important properties in geological processes. We performed molecular dynamics simulations in terms of structures and diffusivities in forsterite-MgSiO3 liquid interfaces to obtain the nanoscale dynamic properties and structure of the interface. The characteristic structure of the forsterite-MgSiO3...... hiện toàn bộ
What did determine the warming trend in the Indonesian sea?Progress in Earth and Planetary Science - Tập 7 Số 1 - 2020
Iskhaq Iskandar, Wijaya Mardiansyah, Deni Okta Lestari, Yukio Masumoto
AbstractThe Indonesian sea is the only low-latitude pathway connecting two tropical oceans, which plays an important role in the coupled ocean-atmosphere mode in the Indo-Pacific sector. A small change in the sea surface temperature (SST) in the Indonesian sea has a significant influence on the precipitation and air-sea heat flux. During the past 33 years, the SST ...... hiện toàn bộ
Regional-scale data assimilation with the Spatially Explicit Individual-based Dynamic Global Vegetation Model (SEIB-DGVM) over SiberiaProgress in Earth and Planetary Science - Tập 8 - Trang 1-15 - 2021

This study examined the regional performance of a data assimilation (DA) system that couples the particle filter and the Spatially Explicit Individual-based Dynamic Global Vegetation Model (SEIB-DGVM). This DA system optimizes model parameters of defoliation and photosynthetic rate, which are sensitive to phenology in the SEIB-DGVM, by assimilating satellite-observed leaf area index (LAI).
