Coupled atmospHere Interior modeL Intercomparison (CHILI) Protocol Version 1.0: A CUISINES Intercomparison Project of Magma Ocean Models
Tim Lichtenberg, Laura Schaefer, Joshua Krissansen-Totton +23
Spectroscopic characterization of rocky exoplanets with the James Webb Space Telescope has brought the origin and evolution of their atmospheres into the focus of exoplanet science…
Lightning activity on a tidally locked terrestrial exoplanet in storm-resolving simulations for a range of surface pressures
Denis E. Sergeev, James W. McDermott, Lottie Woods +3
Cloudy atmospheres produce electric discharges, including lightning. Lightning, in turn, provides sufficient energy to break down air molecules into reactive species and thereby af…
The impact of the explicit representation of convection on the climate of a tidally locked planet in global stretched-mesh simulations
Denis E. Sergeev, Ian A. Boutle, F. Hugo Lambert +5
Convective processes are crucial in shaping exoplanetary atmospheres but are computationally expensive to simulate directly. A novel technique of simulating moist convection on tid…
Quenching-driven equatorial depletion and limb asymmetries in hot Jupiter atmospheres: WASP-96b example
Maria Zamyatina, Duncan A. Christie, Eric Hébrard +11
Transport-induced quenching in hot Jupiter atmospheres is a process that determines the boundary between the part of the atmosphere at chemical equilibrium and the part of the atmo…
Modeling Atmospheric Lines By the Exoplanet Community (MALBEC) version 1.0: A CUISINES radiative transfer intercomparison project
Geronimo L. Villanueva, Thomas J. Fauchez, Vincent Kofman +15
Radiative transfer (RT) models are critical in the interpretation of exoplanetary spectra, in simulating exoplanet climates and when designing the specifications of future flagship…
