Unstructured Grid Dynamical Modeling of Planetary Atmospheres using planetMPAS: The Influence of the Rigid Lid, Computational Efficiency, and Examples of Martian and Jovian Application
Yuan Lian, Mark I. Richardson
We present a new planetary global circulation model, planetMPAS, based on the state-of-the-art NCAR MPAS General Circulation Model. Taking advantage of the cross compatibility betw…
3D mixing in hot Jupiter atmospheres. I. application to the day/night cold trap in HD 209458b
Vivien Parmentier, Adam P. Showman, Yuan Lian
Hot Jupiters exhibit atmospheric temperatures ranging from hundreds to thousands of Kelvin. Because of their large day-night temperature differences, condensable species that are s…
Transmission Spectra of Three-Dimensional Hot Jupiter Model Atmospheres
J. J. Fortney, M. Shabram, A. P. Showman +4
We compute models of the transmission spectra of planets HD 209458b, HD 189733b, and generic hot Jupiters. We examine the effects of temperature, surface gravity, and metallicity f…
Generation of equatorial jets by large-scale latent heating on the giant planets
Yuan Lian, Adam P. Showman
Three-dimensional numerical simulations show that large-scale latent heating resulting from condensation of water vapor can produce multiple zonal jets similar to those on the gas…
Atmospheric circulation of hot Jupiters: Coupled radiative-dynamical general circulation model simulations of HD 189733b and HD 209458b
Adam P. Showman, Jonathan J. Fortney, Yuan Lian +4
We present global, three-dimensional numerical simulations of HD 189733b and HD 209458b that couple the atmospheric dynamics to a realistic representation of non-gray cloud-free ra…
