Farewell to ESA's Cluster mission to Earth's magnetosphere.

In Denmark I was a Co-Investigator for two of Cluster's science instruments - the FluxGate Magnetometer (FGM) and WHISPER plasma sounder.

…but given the broader claim about limited ocean–surface exchange, it feels like a gap in the framing.

One thing that surprised me: I don’t see Roth’s #HST work on #Europa’s #plume/water-vapor signatures cited here, nor Saur et al. or much from the Europa #SpacePlasma community.

Not fatal for their thermo-fluid model I guess, …

🌖🌊 Interesting new paper on #Europa’s #subsurface #ocean:

Ojha, Barik & Buffo argue that direct liquid-water transport from Europa’s deep ocean into shallow subsurface reservoirs may be much more limited than often assumed.

If correct, shallow liquid reservoirs on #Europa may form more by local in situ melting than by direct #ocean-to-surface exchange.

This is the exciting part: #KHI can mix magnetized and non-magnetized #plasma, drive #turbulence, transport mass/energy/momentum/ #MagneticFlux, and may contribute to small-scale #magnetic braiding, thus one route by which free #MagneticEnergy is built up in the solar #atmosphere.
