Caption: Figure A9.
Probability plot showing the effect of escape processes at Earth-like and Venus-like instellations. Same as Figure 8 except that all models use mass-dependent water ingassing, as opposed to surface-dependent ingassing. Runs that exclude atmospheric escape are denoted by the dotted lines and lighter shades. Atmospheric escape is less significant to habitability outcomes at higher initial water inventories above ∼1% of Earth’s ocean mass.
