Water vapor is not only Earth's dominant greenhouse gas. Through the release of latent heat
when it condenses, it also plays an active role in dynamic processes that shape the global …

The Neoproterozoic is a time of transition between the ancient microbial world and the
Phanerozoic, marked by a resumption of extreme carbon isotope fluctuations and glaciation …

Phase transitions of atmospheric water play a ubiquitous role in the Earth's climate system,
but their direct impact on atmospheric dynamics has escaped wide attention. Here we …

In recent decades, great progress has been made in our understanding of zonal jets across
many subjects-atmospheric science, oceanography, planetary science, geophysical fluid …

We survey the basic principles of atmospheric dynamics relevant to explaining existing and
future observations of exoplanets, both gas giant and terrestrial. Given the paucity of data on …

The investigation of planets around other stars began with the study of gas giants, but is now
extending to the discovery and characterization of super-Earths and terrestrial planets …

We explore the effect of a finite reservoir of methane on Titan's atmospheric circulation,
precipitation patterns, and surface methane content. We develop a soil model that accounts …

We present an analytic one-dimensional radiative–convective model of the thermal structure
of planetary atmospheres. Our model assumes that thermal radiative transfer is gray and can …

Effects of Rotation Rate and Seasonal Forcing on the ITCZ Extent in Planetary Atmospheres in:
Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences Volume 74 Issue 3 (2017) Jump to Content Jump to Main …

We present a theory for the latitudinal extents of both Hadley cells throughout the annual
cycle by combining our recent scaling for the ascending edge latitude based on low-latitude …
