  • 摘要:We investigate the influence of the sea surface temperature (SST) changes on the middle atmosphere of a tidally locked Earth-like planet orbiting a G star using the coupled 3D chemistry-climate model CESM1(WACCM).We perform three 90 day simulations.The first simulation is a present-day Earth (PDE) simulation, the second is a simulation of a tidally locked Earth-like planet with a tidally locked aquaplanet sea surface temperature (cold TLE (CLTE)) and the third is a hybrid simulation of a tidally locked Earth-like planet with a present-day Earth sea surface temperature (warm TLE (WTLE)).Our results show that changes in the SST have an influence on the lower stratospheric temperature and the secondary ozone layer.Both atmospheres exhibit a dayside upwelling and a nightside downwelling extending from the surface to the mesosphere.They are also characterised by comparable lower and middle stratospheric horizontal winds and relatively different mesospheric horizontal winds.The temperature of the WTLE atmosphere is altered as a result of the SST changes, compared to the CTLE.Specifically, the WTLE lower tropospheric temperature is increased by 3.7 K on average, due to the absorption of the increased upwelling longwave radiation and the increased sensible and latent heat.The WTLE upper troposphere temperature is decreased by 4 K on average, is adiabatic in nature, and is generated by the increased WTLE upwelling.The WLTE lower stratospheric temperature is increased by 3.8 K on average due to the absorption of the increased upwelling longwave radiation.The lower mesospheric temperature is decreased by 1.13 K on average due to increased mesospheric wave breaking.The upper mesospheric temperature is increased by 4.3 K, and its generation mechanism is currently unknown.Furthermore, the secondary ozone volume mixing ratio is increased by 40.5 %.The occurrence of large-scale vortices and variable jet streams depends, to some extent, on the SST distribution.
