Snowball Earth climate dynamics and Cryogenian geology-geobiology (2017, methodology): “This is because FOAM is essentially a cloud-free model under Snowball conditions, accounting for its anomalous resistance to deglaciation at a geologically feasible CO2 level (80, 82, 228).”
THE OCCURRENCE OF POTENTIALLY HABITABLE PLANETS ORBITING M DWARFS ESTIMATED FROM THE FULL KEPLER DATASET AND AN EMPIRICAL MEASUREMENT OF THE DETECTION SENSITIVITY (2015, background): “…temperature of the planet to change (which depends on factors such as the fraction of surface covered by ocean), such planets may undergo periodic global glaciations punctuated by shortlived epochs during which the surface is warm enough for liquid water (Pierrehumbert 2005; Spiegel et al. 2010).”
The Habitability of Planets Orbiting M-dwarf Stars (2016, background): “Additional work done with computer models found that a planet’s sensitivity to the ice-Albedo effect depends on atmospheric composition and surface pressure, and that for dense CO2 atmospheres, atmospheric properties rather than surface properties dominate the planetary energy balance and radiation ”
