摘要：
TRAPPIST-1e 是一颗潮汐锁定的岩石系外行星，运行在一颗 M 矮星的宜居带内。即将进行的观测有望揭示 M 矮星周围新的岩石系外行星及其大气。为了解释这些未来的观测结果，我们需要对这类系外行星的大气进行建模。我们配置了化学气候模型 CESM2-WACCM6，针对 TRAPPIST-1e 的轨道和恒星辐照度，假设初始地球类似的大气成分。我们的目标是表征可能的臭氧（O$_3$）分布，并利用亥姆霍兹风分解和经向质量流函数，探索这种分布如何受到由地形塑造的大气环流的影响。模型中包含了类似地球的地形，且星下点位于太平洋上空。对于这种情景，我们的分析揭示了模拟的 O$_3$ 分布存在南北不对称性。O$_3$ 浓度在南极附近压力大于 10 hPa（约 30 公里以下）时最高。这种不对称性源于北半球较高的陆地面积比例，这导致近地表流动的拖曳，并产生不对称的经向翻转环流。催化物种大致对称分布，并未被发现是 O$_3$ 不对称性的主要驱动因素。TRAPPIST-1e 的总臭氧柱（TOC）密度高于地球，南极附近为 8000 多布森单位（DU），北极附近为 2000 DU。结果强调了 O$_3$ 对模型参数的敏感性，说明了纳入类似地球的地形如何影响大气动力学和 O$_3$ 分布。地表特征与大气动力学之间的这种联系，凸显了用于研究系外行星大气的模型参数变化如何影响观测解释的重要性。
英文摘要：
TRAPPIST-1e is a tidally locked rocky exoplanet orbiting the habitable zone of an M dwarf star. Upcoming observations are expected to reveal new rocky exoplanets and their atmospheres around M dwarf stars. To interpret these future observations we need to model the atmospheres of such exoplanets. We configured CESM2-WACCM6, a chemistry climate model, for the orbit and stellar irradiance of TRAPPIST-1e assuming an initial Earth-like atmospheric composition. Our aim is to characterize the possible ozone (O$_3$) distribution and explore how this is influenced by the atmospheric circulation shaped by orography, using the Helmholtz wind decomposition and meridional mass streamfunction. The model included Earth-like orography and the substellar point was located over the Pacific Ocean. For such a scenario, our analysis reveals a North-South asymmetry in the simulated O$_3$ distribution. The O$_3$ concentration is highest at pressures $>$ 10 hPa (below $\sim$30 km) near the South Pole. This asymmetry arises from the higher landmass fraction in the Northern Hemisphere, which causes drag in near-surface flows and leads to an asymmetric meridional overturning circulation. Catalytic species were roughly symmetrically distributed and were not found to be primary driver for the O$_3$ asymmetry. The total ozone column (TOC) density was higher for TRAPPIST-1e compared to Earth, with 8000 Dobson Units (DU) near the South Pole and 2000 DU near the North Pole. The results emphasise the sensitivity of O$_3$ to model parameters, illustrating how incorporating Earth-like orography can affect atmospheric dynamics and O$_3$ distribution. This link between surface features and atmospheric dynamics underlines the importance of how changing model parameters used to study exoplanet atmospheres can influence the interpretation of observations.
