Precipitation patterns change rapidly (within a few months) from the zonally-elongated intertropical convergence zone that is typical of Earth today to a configuration in which
The net evaporation field (evaporation minus precipitation) shows that atmospheric water vapor is transported from the night side to the day side. Regions on the
Because the ocean is actively convecting where it is near freezing, no sea ice forms during this simulation, except near the coasts. However, the ocean
