“…For example, previous work has shown that (1) the tropopause in a snowball is lower (Abbot, ; Pierrehumbert, , ); (2) the Hadley circulation is more intense (Abbot et al, ; Pierrehumbert, , ; Voigt et al, , ), thermally indirect in the annual mean (Abbot and Pierrehumbert, ; Pierrehumbert, , ), and strongly influenced by vertical diffusion of zonal momentum (Voigt et al, , ); and (3) baroclinic eddy dry static energy transport is proportionally more important than in its modern counterpart (Pierrehumbert, , ). The only investigation of the snowball's stratosphere that we have encountered is that of Yang et al (), which examined the radiative effect of ozone on the snowball atmosphere's temperatures and found that reduced ozone leads to a cooler surface. The stratospheric circulation during a snowball, however, has not been investigated in detail.…”
