Comparative Climates of the Trappist-1 Planetary System: Results from a Simple Climate-vegetation Model [PDF]
The recent discovery of the planetary system hosted by the ultracool dwarf star TRAPPIST-1 could open new paths for investigations of the planetary climates of Earth-sized exoplanets, their atmospheres, and their possible habitability.

Seasonal Thaws under Mid- to Low-pressure Atmospheres on Early Mars
Despite decades of scientific research on the subject, the climate of the first 1.5 Gyr of Mars' history has not been fully understood yet. Especially challenging is the need to reconcile the presence of liquid water for extended periods of time on the ...

The Climates of Other Worlds: A Review of the Emerging Field of Exoplanet Climatology [PDF]
The discovery of planets orbiting stars other than the Sun has accelerated over the past decade, and this trend will continue as new space- and ground-based observatories employ next-generation instrumentation to search the skies for habitable worlds ...

Moist Convection Is Most Vigorous at Intermediate Atmospheric Humidity
In Earth’s current climate, moist convective updraft speeds increase with surface warming. This trend suggests that very vigorous convection might be the norm in extremely hot and humid atmospheres, such as those undergoing a runaway greenhouse ...

Transient climate–carbon simulations of planetary geoengineering [PDF]
Geoengineering (the intentional modification of Earth's climate) has been proposed as a means of reducing CO 2 -induced climate warming while greenhouse gas emissions continue. Most proposals involve managing incoming solar radiation such that future greenhouse gas forcing is counteracted by reduced solar forcing ...

In this study, we employ a cloud-resolving model to investigate how gravity influences convection and clouds in a small-domain (96 × 96 km) radiative–convective equilibrium.

The Effect of Orbital Configuration on the Possible Climates and Habitability of Kepler-62f [PDF]
As lower-mass stars often host multiple rocky planets, gravitational interactions among planets can have significant effects on climate and habitability over long timescales.
