The Climates of Earth’s Next Supercontinent: Effects of Tectonics, Rotation Rate, and Insolation
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021 We explore two possible Earth climate scenarios, 200 and 250 million years into the future, using projections of the evolution of plate tectonics, solar luminosity, and rotation rate.

Moist Convection and the Thermal Stratification of the Extratropical Troposphere [PDF]
, 2008 Simulations with an aquaplanet general circulation model show that sensible and latent heat transport by large-scale eddies influences the extratropical thermal stratification over a wide range of climates, even in relatively warm climates with small ...

A Radiative-convective Model for Terrestrial Planets with Self-consistent Patchy Clouds
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Clouds are ubiquitous: they arise for every solar system planet that possesses an atmosphere and have also been suggested as a leading mechanism for obscuring spectral features in exoplanet observations.

Atmospheric regimes and trends on exoplanets and brown dwarfs [PDF]
Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2020 A planetary atmosphere is the outer gas layer of a planet. Besides its scientific significance among the first and most accessible planetary layers observed from space, it is closely connected with planetary formation and evolution, surface and interior ...

“Active Planetary Cover” Concept and Long-Term Evolution of Planetary Climate [PDF]
, 2003 At the beginning of XIX. century J.-B. Lamarque had introduced the term “biosphere”. In accordance with his definition the biosphere is a “scope of life” and it is an external cover for the Earth. In 1875 E. Suss, who also distinguished the biosphere as one of the Earth covers, introduced the same term in geology. But V.

Modeling Slope Microclimates in the Mars Planetary Climate Model
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2023 AbstractA large number of surface features (e.g., frost, gullies, slope streaks, recurring slope lineae) are observed on Martian slopes. Their activity is often associated with the specific microclimates on these slopes, which have been mostly studied with one‐dimensional radiative balance models to date.

Planetary climate under extremely high vertical diffusivity [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2022 Aims. 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 vertical diffusivity (or, more precisely, diapycnal diffusivity) on such planets, which represents the strength of vertical mixing in the ocean, would be greater than that

Habitable Snowballs: Temperate Land Conditions, Liquid Water, and Implications for CO$_2$ Weathering
, 2019 Habitable planets are commonly imagined to be temperate planets like Earth, with areas of open ocean and warm land. In contrast, planets in snowball states, where oceans are entirely ice-covered, are believed to be inhospitable.

Habitable Climate Scenarios for Proxima Centauri b With a Dynamic Ocean
, 2017 The nearby exoplanet Proxima Centauri b will be a prime future target for characterization, despite questions about its retention of water. Climate models with static oceans suggest that an Earth-like Proxima b could harbor a small dayside region of ...

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Climate modeling has shown that tidally influenced terrestrial exoplanets, particularly those orbiting M-dwarfs, have unique atmospheric dynamics and surface conditions that may enhance their likelihood to host viable habitats.
