Clouds dissipate quickly during solar eclipses as the land surface cools
Victor J. H. Trees, Stephan R. de Roode, Job I. Wiltink +4
Clouds affected by solar eclipses could influence the reflection of sunlight back into space and might change local precipitation patterns. Satellite cloud retrievals have so far n…
Chasing rainbows and ocean glints: Inner working angle constraints for the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Sophia R. Vaughan, Timothy D. Gebhard, Kimberly Bott +41
NASA is engaged in planning for a Habitable Worlds Observatory (HabWorlds), a coronagraphic space mission to detect rocky planets in habitable zones and establish their habitabilit…
Ocean signatures in the total flux and polarization spectra of Earth-like exoplanets
Victor J. H. Trees, Daphne M. Stam
Numerical simulations of starlight that is reflected by Earth-like exoplanets predict habitability signatures that can be searched for with future telescopes. We explore signatures…
Restoring the top-of-atmosphere reflectance during solar eclipses: a proof of concept with the UV Absorbing Aerosol Index measured by TROPOMI
Victor J. H. Trees, Ping Wang, Piet Stammes
During a solar eclipse the solar irradiance reaching the top-of-atmosphere (TOA) is reduced in the Moon shadow. The solar irradiance is commonly measured by Earth observation satel…
Blue, white, and red ocean planets - Simulations of orbital variations in flux and polarization colors
Victor J. H. Trees, Daphne M. Stam
An exoplanet's habitability will depend strongly on the presence of liquid water. Flux and/or polarization measurements of starlight that is reflected by exoplanets could help to i…
