The Sparse Atmospheric Model Sampling Analysis (SAMOSA) Intercomparison: Motivations and Protocol Version 1.0: A CUISINES Model Intercomparison Project

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2022
Planets in synchronous rotation around low-mass stars are the most salient targets for current ground- and space-based missions to observe and characterize.

Apophis planetary defense campaign [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
We describe results of a planetary defense exercise conducted during the close approach to Earth by the near-Earth asteroid (99942) Apophis during 2020 December–2021 March. The planetary defense community has been conducting observational campaigns since

Atmospheric Superrotation in Warm Earth Climates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This thesis considers atmospheric superrotation, a state of westerly equatorial winds which must be maintained by up-gradient eddy momentum fluxes.

Seasonal Thaws under Mid- to Low-pressure Atmospheres on Early Mars

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
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 ...

Moist Convection Is Most Vigorous at Intermediate Atmospheric Humidity

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2023
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 ...

Convection and Clouds under Different Planetary Gravities Simulated by a Small-domain Cloud-resolving Model

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
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.

Mass transport in a moist planetary climate model

open access: yes, 2022
Planetary climate models (PCMs) are developed to explore planetary climates other than that of the Earth. Therefore, the methods implemented need to be suitable for a large diversity of conditions.

Long extra-tropical planetary wave propagation in the presence of slowly varying mean flow and bottom topography. II: ray propagation and comparison with observations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Ray theory is used to predict phase and group velocities for long planetary waves under realistic, albeit slowly varying, oceanic conditions. The results are compared with local theory using fields smoothed to the same amount (9° latitude/longitude) as ...
