The Effect of Planetary Rotation Period on Clouds in a Global Climate Model with a Bin Microphysics Scheme
Huanzhou Yang, Eric T. Wolf, Cheng-Cheng Liu +3
Clouds are the largest source of uncertainty in climate simulations. For exoplanets, cloud simulation is particularly challenging because of the lack of observational data to tune…

Clouds can enhance direct imaging detection of O2 and O3 on terrestrial exoplanets
Huanzhou Yang, Michelle Hu, Dorian S. Abbot
Clouds are often considered a highly uncertain barrier for detecting biosignatures on exoplanets, especially given intuition gained from transit surveys. However, for direct imagin…
