• Planetary atmosphere studies combine in-situ mass-spectrometry data with remote-sensing UV observations to characterize Venus and Mars atmospheres, including key absorbers and vertical structure from Pioneer Venus measurements, SO2 detections, and Martian aerosols [5], [6], [8], [13], [14], [15], [17].

• Solar energy and Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiometry emerge as a unifying theme: measurements of the solar spectral irradiance at solar maximum [1], the Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) spectrophotometer on Atmosphere Explorer [2], and ultraviolet middle-reaching radiative transfer to the ground [19], with water-vapour absorption baselines [9].

• Radar/radio remote sensing reveals atmospheric dynamics from winds and turbulence to ionospheric irregularities: Jicamarca radar winds and turbulence [3], specular VHF radar reflections [11], DNA Wideband scintillation experiments [10], and F-region ionospheric irregularities spectra [18].

• Surface energy balance and vegetation radiative transfer highlight albedo and energy partitioning over natural and agricultural lands: radiation balance of bare soil and vegetation [4], radiation balance for natural and agricultural vegetation [12], and reflection of short-wave radiation by vegetation [20].
