Irradiated Atmospheres VII. Effect of Mixing Energy Flux on Atmosphere-Interior Coupling
Wei Zhong, Zhen-Tai Zhang, Mei Ting Mark +6
Highly irradiated, underdense rocky planets such as puffy Venuses may host strong coupling between their atmospheres and magma-ocean interiors. Previous studies have mainly treated…

Irradiated Atmosphere V: Effects of Vertical-Mixing induced Energy Transport on the Inhomogeneity
Wei Zhong, Zhen-Tai Zhang, Bo Ma +3
Atmospheric variations over time and space boost planetary cooling, as outgoing internal flux responds to stellar radiation and opacity. Vertical mixing regulates this cooling. Our…

Irradiated Atmospheres III : Radiative-Convective-Mixing Equilibrium for Non-Grey Picket-Fence Model
Wei Zhong, Zhen-Tai Zhang, Bo Ma +3
The non-grey picket-fence model predicts more accurately the temperatures in low-density regions compared to semi-grey models. This study investigates how the vertical mixing and c…
