Thermal Stability of Frozen Volatiles in the North Polar Region of Mercury
David A. Paige,Matthew A. Siegler,John K. Harmon,David E. Smith,Maria T. Zuber,Gregory A. Neumann,Sean C. Solomon +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the MESSENGER mission was used to characterize the thermal stability of water ice and other frozen volatiles in the north polar region of Mercury using topographic profiles obtained by the Mercury Laser Altimeter (MLA) instrument.

Mercury's weak magnetic field: A result of magnetospheric feedback?
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of magnetospheric currents on the internal dynamo process of a weak-dipole dynamo was investigated, and it was shown that strong dipolar dynamos are not markedly affected by such magnetic currents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interannual SAM modulation of Antarctic sea ice extent does not account for its long‐term trends, pointing to a limited role for ozone depletion
Lorenzo M. Polvani,Lorenzo M. Polvani,Antara Banerjee,Antara Banerjee,Rei Chemke,Rei Chemke,Edward W. Doddridge,David Ferreira,Anand Gnanadesikan,M. A. Holland,Yavor Kostov,John Marshall,William J. M. Seviour,Sean C. Solomon,Darryn W. Waugh,Darryn W. Waugh +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that many models are able to capture this relationship between the Southern Annular Mode (SAM) and sea ice, but also emphasize that the SAM only explains a small fraction of the year-to-year variability.
