Surface Temperature Distribution in the Runaway Greenhouse State (Animation)

The time evolution of surface temperature in Experiment S1800 is illustrated below. Surface temperature increases across the globe with time. Starting on Day 800, the maximum values of surface temperature occur at mid-latitudes.
