Potential Surface Ice Distribution on Close-in Terrestrial Exoplanets around M dwarfs
Yueyun Ouyang, Feng Ding
Previous studies suggested that surface ice could be distributed on close-in terrestrial exoplanets around M-dwarfs if heat redistribution on the planets is very inefficient. In ge…
Cloud Behaviour on Tidally Locked Rocky Planets from Global High-resolution Modeling
Jun Yang, Yixiao Zhang, Zuntao Fu +6
Determining the behaviour of convection and clouds is one of the biggest challenges in our understanding of exoplanetary climates. Given the lack of in situ observations, one of th…
True Polar Wander of Lava Worlds
Wanying Kang, Francis Nimmo, Feng Ding
As one of the most detectable types of terrestrial planets, lava worlds are highly prioritized targets for exoplanet atmosphere characterization since their atmospheres may reveal…
CAMEMBERT: A Mini-Neptunes GCM Intercomparison, Protocol Version 1.0. A CUISINES Model Intercomparison Project
Duncan A. Christie, Elspeth K. H. Lee, Hamish Innes +19
With an increased focus on the observing and modelling of mini-Neptunes, there comes a need to better understand the tools we use to model their atmospheres. In this paper, we pres…
Prospects for water vapor detection in the atmospheres of temperate and arid rocky exoplanets around M-dwarf stars
Feng Ding, Robin D. Wordsworth
Detection of water vapor in the atmosphere of temperate rocky exoplanets would be a major milestone on the path towards characterization of exoplanet habitability. Past modeling wo…
Multiple moist climate equilibrium states on arid rocky M-dwarf planets: A last-saturation tracer analysis
Feng Ding, Robin D. Wordsworth
Terrestrial-type exoplanets orbiting nearby red dwarf stars (M dwarfs) are the first potentially habitable exoplanets suitable for atmospheric characterization in the near future.…
The Phase-curve Signature of Condensible Water-rich Atmospheres on Slowly Rotating Tidally Locked Exoplanets
Feng Ding, Raymond T. Pierrehumbert
We use an idealized three-dimensional general circulation model to study condensible-rich atmospheres with an ineffective cold trap on slowly rotating tidally locked terrestrial pl…
Comet-like tails of disintegrating exoplanets explained by escaping outflows emanated from the permanent nightside: day-side versus night-side escape
Wanying Kang, Feng Ding, Robin Wordsworth +1
Ultra-hot disintegrating exoplanets have been detected with tails trailing behind and/or shooting ahead of them. These tails are believed to be made of dusts that are carried upwar…
Stabilization of dayside surface liquid water via tropopause cold trapping on arid slowly rotating tidally locked planets
Feng Ding, Robin D. Wordsworth
Terrestrial-type exoplanets orbiting nearby red dwarf stars (M-dwarfs) are among the best targets for atmospheric characterization and biosignature searches in the near future. Rec…
Atmospheric Evolution on Low-gravity Waterworlds
Constantin W. Arnscheidt, Robin D. Wordsworth, Feng Ding
Low-gravity waterworlds () are of interest for their potential habitability. The weakly bound atmospheres of such worlds have proportionally larger radiat…
A New Line-By-Line General Circulation Model for Simulations of Diverse Planetary Atmospheres: Initial Validation and Application to the Exoplanet GJ 1132b
Feng Ding, Robin D. Wordsworth
Exploring diverse planetary atmospheres requires modeling tools that are both accurate and flexible. Here, we develop a three-dimensional general circulation model (3D GCM) that fo…
Global or Local Pure-Condensible Atmospheres: Importance of Horizontal Latent Heat Transport
Feng Ding, Raymond T. Pierrehumbert
The distribution of a pure condensible planetary atmosphere in equilibrium with a surface reservoir is revisited employing the energy budget of the climate system, emphasizing the…
Abrupt climate transition of icy worlds from snowball to moist or runaway greenhouse
Jun Yang, Feng Ding, Ramses M. Ramirez +3
Ongoing and future space missions aim to identify potentially habitable planets in our Solar System and beyond. Planetary habitability is determined not only by a planet's current…
Differences in water vapor radiative transfer among 1D models can significantly affect the inner edge of the habitable zone
Jun Yang, Jeremy Leconte, Eric T. Wolf +8
An accurate estimate of the inner edge of the habitable zone is critical for determining which exoplanets are potentially habitable and for designing future telescopes to observe t…
Dynamics of atmospheres with a non-dilute condensible component
Raymond T. Pierrehumbert, Feng Ding
The diversity of characteristics for the host of recently discovered exoplanets opens up a great deal of fertile new territory for geophysical fluid dynamics, particularly when the…
