Different Response of the Ionospheric TEC and EEJ to Ultra‐Fast Kelvin Waves in the Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere by Ruidi Sun, Sheng‐Yang Gu, Xiankang Dou, Yusong Qin, Yafei Wei

“…The fourth type of UFKWs have smaller amplitudes, shorter vertical wavelengths and longer periods, which make them more likely to dissipate and cannot propagate to higher altitudes. These UFKWs cannot propagate to the altitude of EEJ and produce a response in EEJ, much less in TEC.…”

TerraSAR-X SAR data for classification of ice-free areas and glacier facies on Fildes Peninsula, King George Island, Antarctica by ANDRÉ M. DE ANDRADE, ROBERTO F.M. MICHEL, KÁTIA K. DA ROSA, ULISSES F. BREMER, CARLOS ERNESTO G.R. SCHAEFER, JEFFERSON C. SIMÕES

“…The classification considered three classes on the glacier (higher moisture, transition in moisture, and lower moisture) and three on the ice-free areas (wet snow, transition wet snow-bare ice, and bare ice), using Maximum Likelihood and ISODATA methods. In low-altitude glaciers with maritime influence, such as Collins, monitoring variations in surface zones is essential because the continuous increase in exposed ice may indicate potential retreat. …”
