MarsCast: Transfer Learning of AI Weather Foundation Models to Planetary Atmospheres
M. L. Carroll, J. Li, S. D. Guzewich +3
We investigate the transferability of Earth weather foundation models to planetary atmospheres by adapting the GraphCast graph neural weather forecasting model to Mars. While Graph…
Mars 2020 Perseverance rover studies of the Martian atmosphere over Jezero from pressure measurements
A. Sánchez-Lavega, T. del Rio-Gaztelurrutia, R. Hueso +24
The pressure sensors on Mars rover Perseverance measure the pressure field in the Jezero crater on regular hourly basis starting in sol 15 after landing. The present study extends…
The Prospect of Detecting Volcanic Signatures on an ExoEarth Using Direct Imaging
Colby M. Ostberg, Scott D. Guzewich, Stephen R. Kane +6
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has provided the first opportunity to study the atmospheres of terrestrial exoplanets and estimate their surface conditions. Earth-sized plane…
The Mars Science Laboratory record of optical depth measurements via solar imaging
M. T. Lemmon, S. D. Guzewich, J. M. Battalio +8
The Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity rover has monitored the Martian environment in Gale crater since landing in 2012. This study reports the record of optical depth derived from…
The case for a multi-channel polarization sensitive LIDAR for investigation of insolation-driven ices and atmospheres
Adrian J. Brown, Gorden Videen, Evgenij Zubko +20
All LIDAR instruments are not the same, and advancement of LIDAR technology requires an ongoing interest and demand from the community to foster further development of the required…
Terrestrial Planets Comparative Climatology (TPCC) mission concept
Leslie K. Tamppari, Amanda Brecht, Kevin Baines +10
The authors and co-signers of the Terrestrial Planets Comparative Climatology (TPCC) mission concept white paper advocate that planetary science in the next decade would greatly be…
The Impact of Planetary Rotation Rate on the Reflectance and Thermal Emission Spectrum of Terrestrial Exoplanets Around Sun-like Stars
Scott D. Guzewich, Jacob Lustig-Yaeger, Christopher Evan Davis +3
Robust atmospheric and radiative transfer modeling will be required to properly interpret reflected light and thermal emission spectra of terrestrial exoplanets. This will help bre…
Aphelion Cloud Belt Phase Function Investigations with Mars Color Imager (MARCI)
Brittney A. Cooper, John E. Moores, Joseph M. Battalio +4
This paper constrains the scattering phase function of water ice clouds (WICs) found within Mars' Aphelion Cloud Belt (ACB), determined from orbit by processing publicly available…
Visibility and Line-Of-Sight Extinction Estimates in Gale Crater during the 2018/MY34 Global Dust Storm
Christina L. Smith, John E. Moores, Mark Lemmon +4
Northern line-of-sight extinction within Gale Crater during the 2018 global dust storm was monitored daily using MSL's Navcam. Additional observations with Mastcam (north) and Navc…
A Statistical Comparative Planetology Approach to Maximize the Scientific Return of Future Exoplanet Characterization Efforts
Jade H. Checlair, Dorian S. Abbot, Robert J. Webber +37
Provided that sufficient resources are deployed, we can look forward to an extraordinary future in which we will characterize potentially habitable planets. Until now, we have had…
The Importance of 3D General Circulation Models for Characterizing the Climate and Habitability of Terrestrial Extrasolar Planets
Eric T. Wolf, Ravi Kopparapu, Vladimir Airapetian +27
While recently discovered exotic new planet-types have both challenged our imaginations and broadened our knowledge of planetary system workings, perhaps the most compelling object…
Constraints on Mars Aphelion Cloud Belt Phase Function and Ice Crystal Geometries
Brittney A. Cooper, John E. Moores, Douglas J. Ellison +4
This study constrains the lower bound of the scattering phase function of Martian water ice clouds (WICs) through the implementation of a new observation aboard the Mars Science La…
Albedos, Equilibrium Temperatures, and Surface Temperatures of Habitable Planets
Anthony D. Del Genio, Nancy Y. Kiang, Michael J. Way +8
The potential habitability of known exoplanets is often categorized by a nominal equilibrium temperature assuming a Bond albedo of either 0.3, similar to Earth, or 0. As an indicat…
Highly Volcanic Exoplanets, Lava Worlds, and Magma Ocean Worlds: An Emerging Class of Dynamic Exoplanets of Significant Scientific Priority
Wade G. Henning, Joseph P. Renaud, Prabal Saxena +39
Highly volcanic exoplanets, which can be variously characterized as 'lava worlds', 'magma ocean worlds', or 'super-Ios' are high priority targets for investigation. The term 'lava…
Exoplanet Diversity in the Era of Space-based Direct Imaging Missions
Ravi Kopparapu, Eric Hebrard, Rus Belikov +55
This whitepaper discusses the diversity of exoplanets that could be detected by future observations, so that comparative exoplanetology can be performed in the upcoming era of larg…
Penitentes as the origin of the bladed terrain of Tartarus Dorsa, Pluto
John E. Moores, Christina L. Smith, Anthony Toigo +1
Penitentes are ablative features observed in snow and ice that, on Earth, are characterized by regular cm to tens of cm spaced bowl-shaped depressions whose edges grade into tall s…
"Winter is coming"
Veselin Kostov, Daniel Allan, Nikolaus Hartman +2
Those that do not sow care little about such mundane things as equinoxes or planting seasons, or even crop rotation for that matter. Wherever and whenever the reavers reave, the mo…
