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…
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…
Climate Diversity in the Solar-Like Habitable Zone due to Varying Background Gas Pressure
Adiv Paradise, Bo Lin Fan, Kristen Menou +1
A large number of studies have responded to the growing body of confirmed terrestrial habitable zone exoplanets by presenting models of various possible climates. However, the impa…
Habitable Snowballs: Temperate Land Conditions, Liquid Water, and Implications for CO Weathering
Adiv Paradise, Kristen Menou, Diana Valencia +1
Habitable planets are commonly imagined to be temperate planets like Earth, with areas of open ocean and warm land. In contrast, planets in snowball states, where oceans are entire…
