Cloud Behaviour on Tidally Locked Rocky Planets from Global High-resolution Modeling
Jun Yang, Yixiao Zhang, Zuntao Fu +6
Determining the behaviour of convection and clouds is one of the biggest challenges in our understanding of exoplanetary climates. Given the lack of in situ observations, one of th…
Lorenz Energy Cycle: Another Way to Understand the Atmospheric Circulation on Tidally Locked Terrestrial Planets
Shuang Wang, Jun Yang
In this study, we employ and modify the Lorenz energy cycle (LEC) framework as another way to understand the atmospheric circulation on tidally locked terrestrial planets. It well…
Cloud Feedback on Earth's Long-term Climate Simulated by a Near-global Cloud-permitting Model
Mingyu Yan, Jun Yang, Yixiao Zhang +1
The Sun becomes brighter with time, but Earth's climate is roughly temperate for life during its long-term history; for early Earth, this is known as the Faint Young Sun Problem (F…
Thermocline Depth on Water-rich Exoplanets
Yanhong Lai, Jun Yang
Water-rich exoplanet is a type of terrestrial planet that is water-rich and its ocean depth can reach tens of to hundreds of kilo-meters with no exposed continents. Due to the lack…
Atmospheric Overturning Circulation on Dry, Tidally-locked Rocky Planets is Mainly Driven by Radiative Cooling
Shuang Wang, Jun Yang
In this study, we examine the driving mechanism for the atmospheric overturning circulation on dry, tidally-locked rocky planets without the condensation of water vapor or other sp…
Planetary climate under extremely high vertical diffusivity
Yidongfang Si, Jun Yang, Yonggang Liu
Planets with large moon(s) or those in the habitable zone of low-mass stars may experience much stronger tidal force and tide-induced ocean mixing than that on Earth. Thus, the ver…
