Gravito-Inertial Instability and Vortex Depth in Giant-Planet Atmospheres

Published:

Manuscript under review at Geophysical Research Letters.

  • Analyzed the stability of planetary polar vortices by conducting 3D simulations and linear stability analysis to identify critical conditions leading to vortex splitting
  • Exploring the relationship between vortex instability and atmospheric parameters, with plans to extend the analysis to include various boundary conditions and flow fields

Radiative Effects of Dust on the Climate of Early Mars

Published:

This project investigated how the optical properties of airborne and surface dust influence the climate of early Mars. The results indicate that basaltic dust representative of reducing conditions produces net cooling over physically plausible optical depths, and that dust radiative effects alone are insufficient to resolve the faint young Sun paradox.

The project also quantified uncertainties in surface albedo arising from particle size, mineral composition, and particle-mixing geometry.

Analytical Climate Response to Orbital Eccentricity Variations

This project develops analytical solutions for climate responses to time-dependent orbital forcing. The analytical framework is being compared with direct numerical integrations to quantify its accuracy across different thermal-inertia and orbital regimes.

TA | Fundamentals of Planetary Science

Undergraduate course, School of Earth and Space Sciences, Peking University, 1900

This course is led by Prof. Jun Yang, offered to freshmen students at the School of Earth and Space Sciences, Peking University. The course covers most of the important parts in the field of planetary sciences, including: stars, orbits, space environment, surface, atmosphere and ocean, interior structure, exoplanets and habitability.
