Climate at high-obliquity
The question of climate at high obliquity is raised in the context of both exoplanet studies (e.g. habitability) and paleoclimates studies (evidence for low-latitude glaciation during the Neoproterozoic and the ‘‘Snowball Earth’’ hypothesis). States of high obliquity, /, are distinctive in that, for / P 54!, the poles receive more solar radiation in the annual mean than the equator, opposite to...
متن کاملExtraordinary climates of Earth-like planets: three-dimensional climate simulations at extreme obliquity
A three-dimensional general-circulation climate model is used to simulate climates of Earth-like planets with extreme axial tilts (i.e. ‘obliquities ’). While no terrestrial-planet analogue exists in the solar system, planets with steeply inclined spin axes may be common around nearby stars. Here we report the results of 12 numerical experiments with Earth-like planets having different obliquit...
متن کاملRelative humidity changes in a warmer climate
[1] Key climate feedback due to water vapor and clouds rest largely on how relative humidity R changes in a warmer climate, yet this has not been extensively analyzed in models. General circulation models (GCMs) from the CMIP3 archive and several higher‐ resolution atmospheric GCMs examined here generally predict a characteristic pattern of R trend with global temperature that has been reported...
متن کاملTightening of tropical ascent and high clouds key to precipitation change in a warmer climate
The change of global-mean precipitation under global warming and interannual variability is predominantly controlled by the change of atmospheric longwave radiative cooling. Here we show that tightening of the ascending branch of the Hadley Circulation coupled with a decrease in tropical high cloud fraction is key in modulating precipitation response to surface warming. The magnitude of high cl...
متن کاملClimate Change of Mars: Effects of Obliquity
Introduction: Behaviors of the Martian climate system has been investigated in several studies [e.g., 1-4]. If the Martian climate was warm owing to the greenhouse effect of CO 2 in the past, a drastic climate change (climate jump or climate collapse) due to decrease in the amount of CO 2 in the system must have occurred during the evolution from a warm condition to the present cold condition [...
