A False Positive For Ocean Glint on Exoplanets: the Latitude-Albedo Effect
Nicolas B. Cowan, Dorian S. Abbot, Aiko Voigt
Identifying liquid water on the surface of planets is a high priority, as this traditionally defines habitability. One proposed signature of oceans is specular reflection ("glint")…

Thermal Phases of Earth-Like Planets: Estimating Thermal Inertia from Eccentricity, Obliquity, and Diurnal Forcing
Nicolas B. Cowan, Aiko Voigt, Dorian S. Abbot
In order to understand the climate on terrestrial planets orbiting nearby Sun-like stars, one would like to know their thermal inertia. We use a global climate model to simulate th…
