Magnetotail Reconnection at Jupiter: A Survey of Juno Magnetic Field Observations.
J Geophys Res Space Phys
March 2020
At Jupiter, tail reconnection is thought to be driven by an internal mass loading and release process called the Vasyliunas cycle. Galileo data have shown hundreds of reconnection events occurring in Jupiter's magnetotail. Here we present a survey of reconnection events observed by Juno during its first 16 orbits of Jupiter (July 2016-October 2018).

Climatic and hydrologic shifts alter water distribution between floodplain storage reservoirs (e.g.

- The South Asian summer monsoon (SASM) is crucial for the climate, impacting about 25% of the global population, and its historical variability can be understood through various climate proxy data.
- Researchers developed an optimal information extraction (OIE) method to reconstruct the monsoon index (SASMI) over the last millennium using tree-ring data, resulting in a strong correlation with instrumental records.
- This reconstruction helps capture historical famine events in India, shows a connection between SASM and solar activity, and indicates that significant volcanic eruptions may weaken the monsoon in the following year.
