Abstract
A climate model is developed for Earth climate history simulations or snapshots of possible conditions on Earthlike exoplanets. It includes estimates for shortwave and longwave optical thickness based on data from Venus, Earth, and Mars; expressions for atmospheric shortwave absorption and surface convective heat loss; climate feedbacks due to water vapor, ice-albedo, clouds, and lapse rate; and a new model for planetary and surface albedo which takes account of surface cover, Rayleigh scattering, and differing wavelength fractions due to primary spectral class. While somewhat complex, it is still orders of magnitude faster than full-spectrum methods or radiative-convective convergence. The model can be modified for use with tidally locked planets, and is here applied to Proxima Centauri b as an example.
开发了一个气候模型,用于模拟地球气候历史或类似地球的系外行星的可能状况。它包括基于金星、地球和火星数据的短波和长波光学厚度估算;大气短波吸收和地表对流热损失的表达式;水蒸气、冰-反照率、云和失效率引起的气候反馈;以及一个新的行星和地表反照率模型,该模型考虑了地表覆盖、瑞利散射和主光谱类别引起的不同波长分数。虽然有些复杂,但它仍然比全光谱方法或辐射对流收敛快几个数量级。该模型可以进行修改以用于潮汐锁定行星,在此以比邻半人马座 b 为例进行说明。
