Disturbing Daisyworld
How will Daisyworld react if we play god and suddenly increase solar luminosity?
|
|
| Simply by going into the window called Atmosphere model we can grab the
solor input slider and raise solar input tho the maximum level. |

What happens to global temperature is illustrated in the history window. When we
increase luminosity the temperature increases intially, and then stabilizes again at a new
level (a new homeostatic equilibrium). The reason for the stabilization is seen in the Biome maps below. After the temperature increases, the daisies respond so that the light shaded daisies expand in the equatorial regions, and the darkest daisies disappear from the polar regions. |

| Before increase in luminosity | After increase in luminosity |
How will Daisyworld react if we play god and suddenly decrease solar luminosity?
|
 |
| By again going into the window called Atmosphere model we can grab the
solor input slider and lower solar input tho the minimum level. |

What happens to global temperature is again illustrated in the history window.
When we decrease luminosity the temperature decreases intially, and then stabilizes
again at a new level (a new homeostatic equilibrium). The reason for the stabilization is again seen in the Biome maps below. After the temperature decreases, the daisies respond so that the light shaded daisies decrease in the equatorial regions, and the darkest daisies expand from the polar regions. |
