Angular Momentum and Heat Transport on Tidally Locked Hot Jupiter Planets
João M. Mendonça
The atmospheric circulation in the upper atmosphere of hot Jupiter planets is strongly influenced by the incoming stellar radiation. In this work we explore the results from a 3D a…
Self-luminous and irradiated exoplanetary atmospheres explored with HELIOS
Matej Malik, Daniel Kitzmann, João M. Mendonça +5
We present new methodological features and physical ingredients included in the 1D radiative transfer code HELIOS, improving the hemispheric two-stream formalism. We conduct a thor…
Exploring the Venus global super-rotation using a comprehensive General Circulation Model
João M. Mendonça, Peter L. Read
The atmospheric circulation in Venus is well known to exhibit strong super-rotation. However, the atmospheric mechanisms responsible for the formation of this super-rotation are st…
THOR: A New and Flexible Global Circulation Model to Explore Planetary Atmospheres
João M. Mendonça, Simon L. Grimm, Luc Grosheintz +1
We have designed and developed, from scratch, a global circulation model named THOR that solves the three-dimensional non-hydrostatic Euler equations. Our general approach lifts th…
