Water vapor buoyancy and the African easterly jet
Heng Quan, Da Yang, William Boos +4
The African easterly jet (AEJ) is a prominent circulation feature in the tropical atmosphere. It transports mineral dust and generates easterly waves that serve as seeds for hurric…
Nonuniform Water Distribution in Jupiter's Mid Latitudes: Influence of Precipitation and Planetary Rotation
Huazhi Ge, Cheng Li, Xi Zhang +2
Knowing the composition of Jupiter's atmosphere is crucial for constraining Jupiter's bulk metallicity and formation history. Yet, constraining Jupiter's atmospheric water abundanc…
Tempests in the Troposphere: Mapping the Impact of Giant Storms on Jupiter's Deep Atmosphere
Chris Moeckel, Huazhi Ge, Imke de Pater
Storms are emerging as key drivers in shaping hydrogen-dominated atmospheres. Trace gas condensation can suppress convection and disrupt the distribution of energy and material in…
Heat-Flux Limited Cloud Activity and Vertical Mixing in Giant Planet Atmospheres with an Application to Uranus and Neptune
Huazhi Ge, Cheng Li, Xi Zhang +1
Storms operated by moist convection and the condensation of or have been observed on Uranus and Neptune. However, the mechanism of cloud formation, therma…
The Inhomogeneity Effect III: Weather Impacts on the Heat Flow of Hot Jupiters
Xi Zhang, Cheng Li, Huazhi Ge +1
The interior flux of a giant planet impacts atmospheric motion, and the atmosphere dictates the interior's cooling. Here we use a non-hydrostatic general circulation model (Simulat…
Observations of the luminous red nova AT 2021biy in the nearby galaxy NGC 4631
Y. -Z. Cai, A. Pastorello, M. Fraser +73
We present an observational study of the luminous red nova (LRN) AT\,2021biy in the nearby galaxy NGC\,4631. The field of the object was routinely imaged during the pre-eruptive st…
A Global Non-Hydrostatic Atmospheric Model with a Mass and Energy Conserving Vertically-Implicit-Correction (VIC) Scheme
Huazhi Ge, Cheng Li, Xi Zhang +1
Global non-hydrostatic atmospheric models are becoming increasingly important for studying the climates of planets and exoplanets. However, such models suffer from computational di…
Rotational Light Curves of Jupiter from UV to Mid-Infrared and Implications for Brown Dwarfs and Exoplanets
Huazhi Ge, Xi Zhang, Leigh N. Fletcher +7
Rotational modulations are observed on brown dwarfs and directly imaged exoplanets, but the underlying mechanism is not well understood. Here, we analyze Jupiter's rotational light…
