Southern Hemisphere atmospheric history of carbon monoxide over the late Holocene reconstructed from multiple Antarctic ice archives

Jérôme Chappellaz

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a naturally occurring atmospheric trace gas, a regulated pollutant, and one of the main components determining the oxidative capacity of the atmosphere. Evaluating climate–chemistry models under different conditions than today and c ...

Highly Active Ice‐Nucleating Particles at the Summer North Pole

Julia Schmale

The amount of ice versus supercooled water in clouds is important for their radiative properties and role in climate feedbacks. Hence, knowledge of the concentration of ice-nucleating particles (INPs) is needed. Generally, the concentrations of INPs are fo ...

Thin Liquid Film Dynamics on a Spinning Spheroid

Edouard Boujo

The present work explores the impact of rotation on the dynamics of a thin liquid layer deposited on a spheroid (bi-axial ellipsoid) rotating around its vertical axis. An evolution equation based on the lubrication approximation was derived, which takes in ...

Evolution of critical buckling conditions in imperfect bilayer shells through residual swelling

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Matteo Pezzulla, Dong Yan, Anna Lee

We propose and investigate a minimal mechanism that makes use of differential swelling to modify the critical buckling conditions of elastic bilayer shells, as measured by the knockdown factor. Our shells contain an engineered defect at the north pole and ...

Systems engineering and design of a Mars Polar Research Base with a human crew

Claudio Leonardi, Anne-Marlene Rüede, Anton Ivanov, Tatiana Maillard

Mars Polar Ice caps have been known ever since they were first observed by Cassini. Robotic exploration mis- sions, starting with Mariner 9, have confirmed that they are composed of water ice. During later missions, instruments such as Mars Global Surveyor ...

POLAR2018 – Where the Poles come together

Changes in the polar regions have large influences on the global climate, on ecosystems and on societies worldwide. More than 2000 scientists and decision makers are convening in Davos this week to discuss the latest research from the Arctic, from the Anta ...

Gaia Data Release 1 Summary of the astrometric, photometric, and survey properties

Stephan Morgenthaler, Mikaël Martino, Shuangqing Liao

Context. At about 1000 days after the launch of Gaia we present the first Gaia data release, Gaia DR1, consisting of astrometry and photometry for over 1 billion sources brighter than magnitude 20.7. Aims. A summary of Gaia DR1 is presented along with illu ...

RENORMALIZATION AND BLOW-UP FOR WAVE MAPS FROM S-2 x R TO S-2

Sohrab Mirshams Shahshahani

We construct a one parameter family of finite time blow-ups to the co-rotational wave maps problem from S-2 x R to S-2, parameterized by nu is an element of (1/2, 1]. The longitudinal function u(t, alpha) which is the main object of study will be obtained ...

A deep crust-mantle boundary in the asteroid 4 Vesta

Philippe Gillet, Harold Gabriel Eugène Justin Clenet

The asteroid 4 Vesta was recently found to have two large impact craters near its south pole, exposing subsurface material. Modelling suggested that surface material in the northern hemisphere of Vesta came from a depth of about 20 kilometres, whereas the ...
