Stratosphere circulation on tidally locked ExoEarths
Abstract
Stratosphere circulation is important to interpret abundances of photochemically produced compounds like ozone which we aim to observe to assess habitability of exoplanets. We thus investigate a tidally locked ExoEarth scenario for TRAPPIST-1b, TRAPPIST-1d, Proxima Centauri b and GJ 667 C f with a simplified 3D atmosphere model and for different stratospheric wind breaking assumptions.
