 >Climate Patterns of Spin-Orbit Resonant Exoplanets Around Low-Mass Stars<
 /a>\nby Maria Di Paolo (University of East Anglia) as part of Fluids and S
 tructures Seminar @ UEA\n\nLecture held in SCI 3.05.\n\nAbstract\nM dwarfs
  are the most promising candidates for finding habitable worlds through at
 mospheric characterization. Planets in the habitable zone of low-mass star
 s experience intense tidal forcings and often become tidally locked. Despi
 te the majority of research being centered on the climate dynamics of sync
 hronously rotating planets in this scenario\, synchronous rotation is not 
 an inevitable outcome of tidal locking. Several different circumstances ca
 n result in an asynchronous rotation\, and in some instances can lead to s
 pin-orbit resonances (SORs).\nIn this talk\, we will explore the climates 
 of two different 3:2 SOR scenarios with a coupled atmosphere-ocean general
  circulation model. Given the crucial role played by the oceans in shaping
  planetary climate\, we adopt two different ocean tidal forcing parameteri
 zations for each SOR scenario. Each of these cases are simulated with both
  a dynamical ocean and a thermodynamical ocean.\nOur findings reveal strik
 ing differences between the analyzed resonant cases and the commonly studi
 ed synchronous cases. Periodic climate patterns are observed\, with climat
 ic features such as clouds and rainfall exhibiting a 60° longitudinal shi
 ft relative to the substellar point. The evolution of quantities such as t
 he planetary thermal emission during a stellar period is potentially notew
 orthy from the observational point of view.\n
