Exploring Climate with Obliquity in a Variable-eccentricity Earth-like World

M. J. Way, Nikolaos Georgakarakos, Thomas L. Clune

Exploring planetary systems similar to our solar system can provide a means to explore a large range of possibly temperate climates on Earth-like worlds. Rather than run hundreds o…

Climates of Warm Earth-like Planets I: 3-D Model Simulations

M. J. Way, A. D. Del Genio, I. Aleinov +3

We present a large ensemble of simulations of an Earth-like world with increasing insolation and rotation rate. Unlike previous work utilizing idealized aquaplanet configurations w…

Was Venus the First Habitable World of our Solar System?

Michael J. Way, Anthony D. Del Genio, Nancy Y. Kiang +5

Present-day Venus is an inhospitable place with surface temperatures approaching 750K and an atmosphere over 90 times as thick as present day Earth's. Billions of years ago the pic…
