Insolation driven variations of Mercury’s lithospheric strength
[1] Mercury’s coupled 3:2 spin‐orbit resonance in conjunction with its relatively high eccentricity of ∼0.2 and near‐zero obliquity results in both a latitudinal and longitudinal variation in annual average solar insolation and thus equatorial hot and cold regions. This results in an asymmetric temperature distribution in the lithosphere and a long wavelength lateral variation in lithosphere st...
متن کاملThe Effect of Milankovitch Variations in Insolation on Equatorial Seasonality
Although the sun crosses the equator 2 times per year at the equinoxes, at times in the past the equatorial insolation has had only one maximum and one minimum throughout the seasonal cycle because of Milankovitch orbital variations. Here a state-of-the-art coupled atmosphere–ocean general circulation model is used to study the effect of such insolation forcing on equatorial surface properties,...
متن کاملInsolation in Titan’s troposphere
Seasonality in Titan’s troposphere is driven by latitudinally varying insolation. We show that the latitudinal distributions of insolation in the troposphere and at the surface, based on Huygens DISR measurements, can be approximated analytically with nonzero extinction optical depths s, and are not equivalent to that at the top of the atmosphere (s = 0), as has been assumed previously. This ha...
متن کاملPolar warming in the Mars thermosphere: Seasonal variations owing to changing insolation and dust distributions
[1] Warming of the martian lower thermosphere (100–130 km) at north polar latitudes near the perihelion/winter solstice (Ls = 270) was recently observed. No analogous warming has been observed within the south polar thermosphere during its aphelion/winter season (Ls 90). Detailed global model simulations are required to investigate the physical processes driving these seasonal variations. New s...
متن کاملThe Impact of Astronomically Induced Insolation Variations on the Extent of the Martian Cryosphere
Introduction: Estimates of the global inventory of water on Mars based on a determination of the amount of water required to erode the outflow channels suggest that a quantity equivalent to a global ocean 0.5 to 1 km deep may be stored in the planet’s subsurface [1, 2]. As this inventory post dates the timing of the most efficient processes that may have lead to its removal, the majority of thi...
