Topography-Induced Stationary Waves and the Onset of Nightside Warming on Rocky Planets around M-dwarf Stars
Howard Chen, Aida Ildirimzade, Evelyn Macdonald
Among potentially habitable worlds, rocky planets orbiting M dwarfs offer the most favorable prospects for atmospheric characterization, yet their climates may differ substantially…
Climate Transition to Temperate Nightside at High Atmosphere Mass
Evelyn Macdonald, Kristen Menou, Christopher Lee +1
Our recent work shows how M-Earth climates and transmission spectra depend on the amount of ice-free ocean on the planet's dayside and the mass of N2 in its atmosphere. M-Earths wi…
Water Vapour Transit Ambiguities for Habitable M-Earths
Evelyn Macdonald, Kristen Menou, Christopher Lee +1
We have shown in a recent study, using 3D climate simulations, that dayside land cover has a substantial impact on the climate of a synchronously rotating temperate rocky planet su…
Climate uncertainties caused by unknown land distribution on habitable M-Earths
Evelyn Macdonald, Adiv Paradise, Kristen Menou +1
A planet's surface conditions can significantly impact its climate and habitability. In this study, we use the 3D general circulation model ExoPlaSim to systematically vary dayside…
ExoPlaSim: Extending the Planet Simulator for Exoplanets
Adiv Paradise, Evelyn Macdonald, Kristen Menou +2
The discovery of a large number of terrestrial exoplanets in the habitable zones of their stars, many of which are qualitatively different from Earth, has led to a growing need for…
A Large Repository of 3D Climate Model Outputs for Community Analysis and Postprocessing
Adiv Paradise, Bo Lin Fan, Evelyn Macdonald +2
As the number of known exoplanets has climbed into the thousands, efforts by theorists to understand the diversity of climates that may exist on terrestrial planets in the habitabl…
An empirical infrared transit spectrum of Earth: opacity windows and biosignatures
Evelyn J. R. Macdonald, Nicolas B. Cowan
The Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment's Fourier Transform Spectrometer on the SCISAT satellite has been measuring infrared transmission spectra of Earth during Solar occultations si…
