b. Time Evolution of Physical Variables
In this section, time evolutions of the distributions of various physical variables in Experiment S1800 will be illustrated. With the passage of time, atmospheric temperature, water vapor, , and surface temperature all increase, and the meridional differences in these physical variables decrease at the same time. Regarding the zonal winds, the strengths of the subtropical jets increase gradually as their positions shift to higher layers.
List of animations referred to above:
- Meridional Distribution of Temperature in the Runaway Greenhouse State (Animation)
- Meridional Distribution of Specific Humidity in the Runaway Greenhouse State (Animation)
