The EChO science case
Giovanna Tinetti, Pierre Drossart, Paul Eccleston +347
The discovery of almost 2000 exoplanets has revealed an unexpectedly diverse planet population. Observations to date have shown that our Solar System is certainly not representativ…
Intercomparison of General Circulation Models for Hot Extrasolar Planets
Inna Polichtchouk, James Y-K. Cho, Chris Watkins +3
We compare five general circulation models (GCMs) which have been recently used to study hot extrasolar planet atmospheres (BOB, CAM, IGCM, MITgcm, and PEQMOD), under three test ca…
The vertical structure of Jupiter's equatorial zonal wind above the cloud deck, derived using mesoscale gravity waves
C. Watkins, J. Y-K. Cho
Data from the Galileo Probe, collected during its descent into Jupiter's atmosphere, is used to obtain a vertical profile of the zonal wind from bar (upper trop…
Gravity Waves on Hot Extrasolar Planets: I. Propagation and Interaction with the Background
Chris Watkins, James Y-K. Cho
We study the effects of gravity waves, or g-modes, on hot extrasolar planets. These planets are expected to possess stably-stratified atmospheres, which support gravity waves. In t…
