Image Details
Caption: Figure A2.
Same as Figure 3 except that escape processes are not included. Assumes Earth-like hypsometry, instellation, mass-dependent water ingassing, and an albedo (α) of 0.3. Less water is needed to maintain a balanced climate in comparison to outputs that include escape processes (Figure 3) since atmospheric escape enhances water loss.
