A new release of the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology Earth System Model version 1.2
(MPI‐ESM1. 2) is presented. The development focused on correcting errors in and …

On water‐dominated planets, warming from increased solar insolation is strongly amplified
by the water vapor greenhouse feedback. As the Sun brightens due to stellar evolution …

Water-rich planets such as Earth are expected to become eventually uninhabitable, because
liquid water turns unstable at the surface as temperatures increase with solar luminosity …

Earth's distant past and potentially its future include extremely warm 'hothouse'climate
states, but little is known about how the atmosphere behaves in such states. One …

The long‐term warming from an anthropogenic increase in atmospheric CO2 is often
assumed to be proportional to the forcing associated with that increase. This paper …

Stable, steady climate states on an Earth-size planet with no continents are determined as a
function of the tilt of the planet's rotation axis (obliquity) and stellar irradiance. Using a …

With the recent discoveries of terrestrial planets around active M-dwarfs, destruction
processes masking the possible presence of life are receiving increased attention in the …

Context. The habitability of a planet depends on various factors, such as the delivery of
water during its formation, the co-evolution of the interior and the atmosphere, and the stellar …

In relaxation-oscillator (RO) climate states, short-lived convective storms with torrential
rainfall form and dissipate at regular, periodic intervals. RO states have been demonstrated …

We quantify the temperature‐dependence of the clear‐sky climate sensitivity in a one‐
dimensional radiative‐convective equilibrium model. The atmosphere is adjusted to fixed …
