", "abstract": "The innovative Saturn Ring Skimmer mission concept enables a wide range of investigations that address fundamental questions about Saturn and its rings, as well as giant planets and astrophysical disk systems in general. This mission would provide new insights into the dynamical processes that operate in astrophysical disk systems by observing individual particles in Saturn's rings for the first time. The Ring Skimmer would also constrain the origin, history, and fate of Saturn's rings by determining their compositional evolution and material transport rates. In addition, the Ring Skimmer would reveal how the rings, magnetosphere, and planet operate as an inter-connected system by making direct measurements of the ring's atmosphere, Saturn's inner magnetosphere and the material owing from the rings into the planet. At the same time, this mission would clarify the dynamical processes operating in the planet's visible atmosphere and deep interior by making extensive high-resolution observations of cloud features and repeated measurements of the planet's extremely dynamic gravitational field. Given the scientific potential of this basic mission concept, we advocate that it be studied in depth as a potential option for the New Frontiers program.", "date": "2020-09-16", "date_type": "published", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20200916-112953100", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20200916-112953100", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Astronomy-Department" }, { "id": "TAPIR" }, { "id": "Division-of-Geological-and-Planetary-Sciences" } ] }, "doi": "10.48550/arXiv.2007.15767", "primary_object": { "basename": "2007.15767.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/gzfs5-b3h02/files/2007.15767.pdf" }, "resource_type": "monograph", "pub_year": "2020", "author_list": "Tiscareno, Matthew S.; Vaquero, Mar; et el." }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/m4s6b-fc908", "eprint_id": 92888, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-20 00:30:19", "lastmod": "2023-10-20 16:35:57", "type": "monograph", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Hayne-P-O", "name": { "family": "Hayne", "given": "Paul O." } }, { "id": "Ingersoll-A-P", "name": { "family": "Ingersoll", "given": "Andrew P." }, "orcid": "0000-0002-2035-9198" }, { "id": "Paige-D-A", "name": { "family": "Paige", "given": "David A." } } ] }, "title": "New Approaches to Lunar Ice Detection and Mapping", "ispublished": "unpub", "full_text_status": "public", "note": "The research described in this report was sponsored by the Keck Institute for Space \nStudies (KISS) and was carried out in part at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, \nCalifornia Institute of Technology, under a contract with the National Aeronautics \nand Space Administration.

", "abstract": "A shallow water model with realistic topography and idealized zonal wind forcing is\nused to investigate orographically forced modes in the Martian atmosphere. Locally, the\nmodel reproduces well the climatology at the sites of Viking Lander I and II (VLl and VL2)\nas inferred from the Viking Lander fall and spring observations. Its variability at those\nsites is dominated by a 3-sol (Martian solar day) oscillation in the region of VLl and by\na 6-sol oscillation in that of VL2. These oscillations are forced by the zonal asymmetries\nof the Martian mountain field. It is suggested that they contribute to the observed\nvariability by reinforcing the baroclinic oscillations with nearby periods identified in\nobservational studies.\n\nThe spatial variability associated with the orographically forced oscillations is\nstudied by means of extended empirical orthogonal function analysis. The 3-sol VL1\noscillation corresponds to a tropical, eastward-traveling, zonal-wavenumber one pattern.\nThe 6-sol VL2 oscillation is characterized by two midlatitude, eastward-traveling, mixed\nzonal-wavenumber one and two and zonal-wavenumber three and four patterns, with respective\nperiods near 6.1 and 5.5 sols. The corresponding phase speeds arc in agreement with the\nconclusions drawn from the VL2 observations.", "date": "2012-03-14", "date_type": "published", "publisher": "Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20120309-091232415", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20120309-091232415", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "NASA" }, { "agency": "JPL/CIT Director's Discretionary Fund for 1992" } ] }, "other_numbering_system": { "items": [ { "id": "93-1596", "name": "JPL Technical Reports" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Division-of-Geological-and-Planetary-Sciences" } ] }, "primary_object": { "basename": "KEPjpltr93-1596.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/wja96-nvw77/files/KEPjpltr93-1596.pdf" }, "resource_type": "monograph", "pub_year": "2012", "author_list": "Keppenne, Christian L. and Ingersoll, Andrew P." } ]
