For a big terrestrial planet** with the following attributes:
1) One bar surface pressure 2) Twice Earth's diameter (x4 Earth's area) 3) 1.5G surface gravity (x6 Earth's mass) 4) Earth-like atmospheric composition 5) Earth-like solar illumination 6) 75/25 water/land area split What would the weather generally manifest as? More atmospheric convection (Hadley?) cells? Bigger, beefier hurricanes on the broader oceans? How would the atmospheric compression due to the higher gravity affect normal vertical circulation, or wouldn't it matter? **Yeah, the planet may not be possible (I'd wonder why it didn't turn into a gas giant), but run with it for the thought experiment. Thanks for any input, Mike Miller, Materials Engineer |
