Radar Characterization of Salt Layers in Europa's Ice Shell as a Window Into Critical Ice‐Ocean Exchange Processes

Radar Characterization of Salt Layers in Europa's Ice Shell as a Window Into Critical Ice‐Ocean Exchange Processes

Abstract The potential habitability of Jupiter's moon Europa has motivated two missions: NASA's Europa Clipper and ESA's JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE). Both missions are equipped with ice‐penetrating radars which will transmit radio waves into the subsurface, recording reflection...
