Parameterizing slantwise convection in icy moon oceans
Yaoxuan Zeng, Malte F. Jansen
Convection in icy moon oceans is strongly influenced by rotation, organizing into slantwise columnar structures aligned with the planetary rotation axis. They generate significant…
Slantwise convection and heat transport in icy moon oceans
Yaoxuan Zeng, Malte F. Jansen
Ocean heat transport on icy moons shapes the ice shell topography, a primary observable of these moons. Two key processes control the heat transport: baroclinic instability driven…
Symmetric instability in a Boussinesq fluid on a rotating planet
Yaoxuan Zeng, Malte F. Jansen
Symmetric instability has broad applications in geophysical and planetary fluid dynamics. It plays a crucial role in the formation of mesoscale rainbands at mid-latitudes on Earth,…
The effect of salinity on ocean circulation and ice-ocean interaction on Enceladus
Yaoxuan Zeng, Malte F. Jansen
Observational data suggest that the ice shell on Enceladus is thicker at the equator than at the pole, indicating an equator-to-pole ice flow. If the ice shell is in an equilibrium…
Energetic constraints on ocean circulations of icy ocean worlds
Malte F. Jansen, Wanying Kang, Edwin Kite +1
Globally ice-covered oceans have been found on multiple moons in the solar system and may also have been a feature of Earth's past. However, relatively little is understood about t…
The Effect of Ocean Salinity on Climate and Its Implications for Earth's Habitability
Stephanie L. Olson, Malte F. Jansen, Dorian S. Abbot +2
The influence of atmospheric composition on the climates of present-day and early Earth has been studied extensively, but the role of ocean composition has received less attention.…
