摘要:

在潜在宜居世界中,围绕M矮星的类地行星提供最有利的大气特征化前景,但其气候可能与地球显著不同。在潮汐锁定极限下,夜侧的辐射冷却和潜在的挥发性物质冻结引入了对宜居性的强依赖性。我们进行了覆盖广泛地形和或ographic实现的同步旋转实验,涵盖不同的平均海拔和陆地分布。在$p_{\mathrm{N2}} = 0.5$-$8~\mathrm{bar}$和$F_{\star} = 1200$-$1700~\mathrm{W\,m^{-2}}$的网格中,发现表面起伏打破流体对称性,取代环极涡旋,产生机械强迫的静止波。陡峭的地形产生驻立罗斯比涡旋,增强跨terminator喷流并使垂直抬升与昼夜边界对齐。这些新的环流模式增强水分输送,增加红外光学深度并促进额外的夜侧云形成,产生更强的云温室反馈并降低全球行星脱冰所需的临界通量。广阔的高海拔高原产生类似碎片化但稍弱的环流,导致更不有效的水分输送。这些结果表明,地形和陆地分布的空间特征,对大多数系外行星未受约束的参数,可对潮汐锁定的M矮星系外行星的气候分叉施加强影响。

英文摘要:

Among potentially habitable worlds, rocky planets orbiting M dwarfs offer the most favorable prospects for atmospheric characterization, yet their climates may differ substantially from those of Earth analogs. In the tidally locked limit, the nightside's tendency to radiatively cool and potentially trap volatiles as permanent ice introduces a strong dependence of habitability on the planet's surface and atmospheric boundary conditions. We perform a suite of synchronously rotating experiments spanning a wide range of topographic and orographic realizations with different mean elevations and landmass distributions. Across a grid of $p_{\mathrm{N2}} = 0.5$-$8~\mathrm{bar}$ and $F_{\star} = 1200$-$1700~\mathrm{W\,m^{-2}}$, we find that surface relief breaks the flow symmetry, replacing the circumpolar vortices with mechanically forced stationary waves. Steep orography produces standing Rossby gyres that strengthen the cross-terminator jet and align vertical uplift with the day--night boundary. These new circulation regimes enhance moisture transport, increasing the infrared optical depth and promoting additional nightside cloud formation, which produces a stronger cloud-greenhouse feedback and lower the critical fluxes required for global planetary deglaciation. Broad, elevated plateaus drive a similarly fragmented but slightly weaker circulation, yielding less effective moisture transport. These results show that the relief and spatial distribution of landmasses, parameters unconstrained for most exoplanets, can exert strong controls on the climatic bifurcations of tidally locked M-dwarf exoplanets.
