The Deuterium Isotopic Ratio of Water Released From the Martian Caps as Measured With TGO/NOMAD by Geronimo L. Villanueva, Giuliano Liuzzi, Shohei Aoki, Shane W. Stone, Adrian Brines, Ian R. Thomas, Miguel Angel Lopez‐Valverde, Loic Trompet, Justin Erwin, Frank Daerden, Bojan Ristic, Michael D. Smith, Michael J. Mumma, Sara Faggi, Vincent Kofman, Séverine Robert, Lori Neary, Manish Patel, Giancarlo Bellucci, Jose Juan Lopez‐Moreno, Ann Carine Vandaele

“…We investigated the release of seasonal water from the polar caps during southern and northern summer, by mapping water and its D/H near the polar regions. Above the hygropause, the D/H drops substantially below 2 VSMOW, and both seasonal polar caps show a consistent and enriched D/H of 5–7 VSMOW within the hygrosphere.…”

Rôle de la glace saisonnière dans la dynamique de l'écosystème marin de l'Antarctique : impact potentiel du changement climatique global by Gustavo Ferreyra, Irene Schloss, Serge Demers

“…Seasonal ice cover is linked to an intense biological activity in polar regions. Every year, ice melting induces the stabilisation of the water column which can be observed until 150 km from the margin of seasonal ice, favoring the development of profuse phytoplankton blooms. …”

Latitudinal Dependence of Cosmic Rays Modulation at 1 AU and Interplanetary Magnetic Field Polar Correction by P. Bobik, G. Boella, M. J. Boschini, C. Consolandi, S. Della Torre, M. Gervasi, D. Grandi, K. Kudela, S. Pensotti, P. G. Rancoita, D. Rozza, M. Tacconi

“…This treatment of the IMF, implemented in the HelMod Monte Carlo code (version 2.0), was used to determine the effects on the differential intensity of Proton at 1 AU and allowed one to investigate how latitudinal gradients of proton intensities, observed in the inner heliosphere with the Ulysses spacecraft during 1995, can be affected by the modification of the IMF in the polar regions.…”

Analyzing the observational capabilities of a Moon-based platform for monitoring Earth’s outgoing radiation by Guang Liu, Runbo Dong, Yin Jin, Mengxiong Zhou, Hanlin Ye, Rui Song, Jan-Peter Muller, Huadong Guo

“…The results show that: 1) the lowest daily ground coverage rate is about 88.8% and global coverage including polar regions can always be achieved within a month; 2) the sampling interval needs to be less than 4 hours to ensure the accuracy of reconstruction; 3) the image captured by a multi-spectral camera is capable of reconstructing the distribution of the Earth’s outgoing radiation, while the data obtained from a radiometer facilitates the reconstruction of the global Earth’s outgoing radiation, thereby enabling a comprehensive assessment of the Earth’s outgoing radiation. …”

Effects of Level of Retrieval Success on Recall-Related Frontal and Medial Temporal Lobe Activations by Daniela Montaldi, Andrew R. Mayes, Anna Barnes, Donald M. Hadley, Jim Patterson, David J. Wyper

“…The frontal activations occurred mainly in the dorsolateral region, but extended into the ventrolateral and, to a lesser extent, the frontal polar regions. It is argued that whereas the medial temporal lobe activation increased as the proportion of response words successfully recalled increased, the bilateral frontal lobe activation increased in proportion to retrieval effort, which was greater when learning had been less good.…”
