Interpreting seasonal and interannual Hadley cell descending edge migrations via the cell-mean Rossby number

Spencer A Hill, Simona Bordoni, Jonathan L Mitchell +1

The poleward extent of Earth's zonal-mean Hadley cells varies across seasons and years, which would be nice to capture in a simple theory. A plausible, albeit diagnostic, candidate…

Clouds and Seasonality on Terrestrial Planets with Varying Rotation Rates

Daniel A. Williams, Xuan Ji, Paul Corlies +1

Using an idealised climate model incorporating seasonal forcing, we investigate the impact of rotation rate on the abundance of clouds on an Earth-like aquaplanet, and the resultin…

Equatorial Waves and Superrotation in the Stratosphere of a Titan General Circulation Model

Neil T. Lewis, Nicholas A. Lombardo, Peter L. Read +1

We investigate the characteristics of equatorial waves associated with the maintenance of superrotation in the stratosphere of a Titan general circulation model. A variety of equat…

Annular Modes of Variability in the Atmospheres of Mars and Titan

J. Michael Battalio, Juan M. Lora

Annular modes explain much of the internal variability of Earth's atmosphere but have never been identified on other planets. Using reanalyses for Mars and a simulation for Titan,…

Titan: Earth-like on the Outside, Ocean World on the Inside

Shannon M. MacKenzie, Samuel P. D. Birch, Sarah Horst +30

Thanks to the Cassini-Huygens mission, Titan, the pale orange dot of Pioneer and Voyager encounters has been revealed to be a dynamic, hydrologically-shaped, organic-rich ocean wor…
