Time-dependent Acceleration and Escape of Charged Particles at Traveling Shocks in the Near-Sun Environment by Thomas M. Do, Federico Fraschetti, Jozsef Kota, Joe Giacalone, Christina M. S. Cohen, David J. McComas

“…We compare the “nose” structure at a few ∼100s keV protons first measured in situ by Parker Solar Probe in crossing the very fast 2022 September 5 shock at 0.07 au; we find that the nose is reasonably well explained by a lack of the highest energy particles not yet produced by the young shock by both our model and the no-escape version.…”

Identifying Optimal Variables to Predict Soil Organic Carbon in Sandy, Saline, and Black Soil Regions: Remote Sensing, Terrain, or Climate Factors? by Liping Wang, Huanjun Liu, Xiang Wang, Xiaofeng Xu, Liyuan He, Chong Luo, Yong Li, Xinle Zhang, Deqiang Zang, Shufeng Zheng, Xiaodan Mei

“…Our results indicated that (1) climate factors, particularly mean annual precipitation and mean annual temperature, were the most effective predictors in SOC mapping across sandy, saline, and black soil regions, as indicated by their significant contribution to RF model performance (R² > 0.63); (2) followed by climate factors, the Transformed Vegetation Index (TVI) was consistently identified as the most influential variable for SOC prediction among spectral indexes in all three regions; (3) a local regression method based on RF models showed good performance compared to a global model; (4) desertification and salinization were the main reasons for the spatial differences in AH and DM&LD, respectively. …”
