- W3043113375 abstract "<p>Atmospheric general circulation models developed for the Earth system include comprehensive parameterizations of clouds. Applying them to exoplanet atmospheres provides an opportunity to advance understanding of clouds, atmosphere dynamics, and their coupling in the context of planetary climate dynamics and habitability.</p><p>Here, we study a deep-time extreme climate of Earth as an example of the cold limit of the habitable zone. Geological evidence indicates near-global ice cover during the Neoproterozoic (1000 &#8211; 541 Million years ago) associated with considerable hysteresis of atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub>. The Snowball Earth hypothesis provides a straightforward interpretation of Neoproterozoic proxies based on a runaway of the sea-ice albedo feedback. However, the Snowball Earth hypothesis relies on the existence of local habitats to explain the survival of photosynthetic marine species on an entirely ice-covered planet. The Jormungand hypothesis may resolve this issue by considering a weakening of the sea-ice albedo feedback by exposure of dark bare sea ice when sea ice enters the subtropics. This potentially allows the Earth system to stabilize in a climate state - the Jormungand state - with near-global ice cover. Around the equator, a narrow strip of ocean remains ice-free, where life would have easily survived during the pan-glaciations.</p><p>The weakening of the sea-ice albedo feedback is based on the change of the meridional structure of planetary albedo with a moving sea-ice edge. While previous work focused on the contribution of surface albedo to planetary albedo, we here focus on the impact of subtropical and tropical cloudiness on planetary albedo. Enhanced cloudiness generally weakens the sea-ice albedo feedback and thus decreases the climate sensitivity of the Jormungand state, i.e. it stabilizes the Jormungand state. We analyze the impact of cloudiness on the stability of the Jormungand state in the general circulation models CAM3 and ICON-AES with idealized aquaplanet setups. While CAM3 shows significant CO<sub>2</sub>-hysteresis of the Jormungand state, ICON-AES exhibits no stable Jormungand state. Consistently, CAM3 exhibits stronger cloudiness than ICON-AES, especially in the subtropics. An analysis with a one-dimensional energy balance model shows that the Jormungand hysteresis strongly depends on the sensitivity of the planetary albedo to an advance of sea ice into the subtropics. Accordingly, we demonstrate that the absence of cloud-radiative effects within vertical columns in the subtropics drastically decreases the Jormungand hysteresis in CAM3.</p><p>Overall, the magnitude of the Jormungand hysteresis is tightly linked to the representation of cloud-radiative effects in general circulation models. Our results highlight the important role of uncertainties associated with cloud-radiative effects for climate feedbacks on planet Earth in the context of extreme climates, such as they have occurred in Earth&#8217;s deep past or might be found on Earth-like planets. In consequence, this also stresses the need and challenges of accounting for adequate cloud modeling for planetary climates.</p>" @default.
