CloudSat-inferred vertical structure of precipitation over the Antarctic continent
Florentin Lemonnier, Jean-Baptiste Madeleine, Chantal Claud +4
Current global warming is causing significant changes in snowfall in polar regions, directly impacting the mass balance of the ice caps. The only water supply in Antarctica, precip…
Martian cloud climatology and life cycle extracted from Mars Express OMEGA spectral images
André Szantai, Joachim Audouard, Francois Forget +7
We extracted a Martian water-ice cloud climatology from OMEGA data covering 7 Martian years (MY 26-32). We derived two products, the Reversed Ice Cloud Index (ICIR) and the Percent…
Global Climate Modeling of the Martian water cycle with improved microphysics and radiatively active water ice clouds
Thomas Navarro, Jean-Baptiste Madeleine, François Forget +3
Radiative effects of water ice clouds have noteworthy consequences on the Martian atmosphere, its thermal structure and circulation. Accordingly, the inclusion of such effects in t…
3D modelling of the early Martian Climate under a denser CO2 atmosphere: Temperatures and CO2 ice clouds
Francois Forget, Robin Wordsworth, Ehouarn Millour +5
On the basis of geological evidence, it is often stated that the early martian climate was warm enough for liquid water to flow on the surface thanks to the greenhouse effect of a…
Rocket dust storms and detached dust layers in the Martian atmosphere
Aymeric Spiga, Julien Faure, Jean-Baptiste Madeleine +2
Airborne dust is the main climatic agent in the Martian environment. Local dust storms play a key role in the dust cycle; yet their life cycle is poorly known. Here we use mesoscal…
Global modelling of the early Martian climate under a denser CO2 atmosphere: Water cycle and ice evolution
R. Wordsworth, F. Forget, E. Millour +3
We discuss 3D global simulations of the early Martian climate that we have performed assuming a faint young Sun and denser CO2 atmosphere. We include a self-consistent representati…
Gliese 581d is the first discovered terrestrial-mass exoplanet in the habitable zone
Robin Wordsworth, François Forget, Franck Selsis +3
It has been suggested that the recently discovered exoplanet GJ581d might be able to support liquid water due to its relatively low mass and orbital distance. However, GJ581d recei…
Is Gliese 581d habitable? Some constraints from radiative-convective climate modeling
R. Wordsworth, F. Forget, F. Selsis +3
The recently discovered exoplanet Gl581d is extremely close to the outer edge of its system's habitable zone, which has led to much speculation on its possible climate. We have per…
