National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) | Pasadena, California | United States | about 2 hours ago

, geometric constraints, and the need for specialized processing. Proposals should address these challenges directly, with an emphasis on operational strategies that enable reliable data acquisition and

Passive Sounding of Solar System Bodies Using Radio Astronomical Sources

National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) | Pasadena, California | United States | 3 months ago

. Description: Passive radar sounding is an emerging technique that uses naturally occurring radio emissions to investigate planetary surfaces and subsurfaces, offering a low-resource, low-risk alternative to

Quantifying Arctic Ocean Tipping Points

National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) | Pasadena, California | United States | 2 months ago

. Description: The rapid loss of perennial sea-ice is driving Arctic marine ecosystems past critical thresholds. We hypothesize that the 2016–17 Bering Sea marine heatwave initiated a tipping point cascade that
