Saturn’s Southern Decagon

The Voyager flybys in the early 1980s revealed a mysterious hexagon at Saturn‘s northern pole. For decades, researchers searched for a similar polygon at the southern pole, with no luck. But that appears to be changing.

Saturn’s axial tilt hid its southern pole from Earth-based observation in mid-2012 and the region remained out of view until 2023. Since late 2023, though, repeated observations have shown a 10-sided polygon circling the southern pole. Unlike the northern hexagon, which has been stable for 40+ years, the decagon appears to be actively evolving.

Researchers haven’t settled on the mechanism underlying the decagon yet. One suggestion is that it’s a meandering atmospheric wave trapped vertically and confined by the polar jet. Another possibility is that the decagon comes from perturbations to the polar jet, perhaps from nearby anticyclones. We can expect plenty of analyses and simulations to come!

Wildfire Clouds

Wildfires can generate their own thunderstorms through pyrocumulonimbus clouds. These clouds can have an outsized impact on the stratosphere, too, injecting smoke and particulates that can linger for years to come. To better understand how these clouds develop, scientists have started chasing wildfire-fueled clouds.

The photo shown here is a towering pyrocumulous cloud–a precursor to a potential pyrocumulonimbus. Both types of clouds rely on a wildfire’s heat to generate tremendous buoyancy that forces air, smoke, and particulates upward. Those ingredients can overshoot the top of the troposphere and push up into the usually-cloudless stratosphere, as seen here.

Scientists think about 70 pyrocumulonimbus clouds occur each year, yet wildfires account for up to 25 percent of the black carbon and organic aerosols found in the lower stratosphere. (Image credit: B. Weinzierl; via NASA Earth Observatory)

Smoke from agricultural fires in Africa brightens marine clouds, but the same weather patterns that transport the smoke also thin and reduce cloud cover, offsetting the smoke's cooling effect.

The El Niño-Southern Oscillation is the planet's most consequential mode of interannual climate variability, functioning as a coupled ocean-atmosphere cycle that alternates between warming (El Niño) and cooling (La Niña) phases. Driven by anthropogenic global warming, this historically natural cycle is fundamentally restructuring planetary atmospheric circulation.

Marvin was enjoying a peaceful cup of tea when Myrtle asked:

"Have you ever wondered why the Sun doesn't cook us?"

The answer turns out to be one of humanity's most remarkable scientific success stories.

The ozone layer quietly protects life on Earth every day.

Most people stopped talking about it because, slowly and imperfectly, it started recovering.

Sometimes the most important systems are the ones we no longer notice.

"When the roof leaks, everybody looks up. When the roof works for thirty years, people forget it's there."

A #Venusian atmospheric hydraulic jump is an abrupt slowing and deepening of a fast-moving atmospheric fluid, which creates a massive 6,000-kilometer-wide wave front in the planet's cloud layer. It forces sulfuric acid vapor upward, condensing it into a distinctly visible, planetary-scale line of cloud.

Recreating Atmospheres

In planetary atmospheres, energy and vorticity can cascade from large scales to smaller ones, but the mechanics of this transfer remain somewhat elusive. In a recent experiment, researchers built a lab-scale representation of an atmosphere using a meter-scale rotating annular tank. The outer bottom edge of the tank gets heated–representing the sun’s warming at the equator–while a pipe in the center of the tank gets cooled near the tank surface, which mimics the chilling effect of the poles. Researchers filled the tank with a water-glycerol mixture and recorded how their artificial atmosphere responded at different rotation rates.

The results show an energy spectrum that’s consistent with atmospheric observations–with a steep drop at large length scales and a flatter one at smaller scales. But interestingly, they also found that the cascade was temperature-dependent in ways that current models don’t predict. Untangling that effect could help us understand not only our atmosphere but those of other planets. (Image credit: tank – H. Scolan, animation – S. Ding et al.; research credit: S.

Experimental exposure to elevated CO2 demonstrates that understory trees in the Amazon initially increase their carbon uptake and growth, though this long-term capacity is ultimately constrained by soil nutrient availability.
