JANUS

License Docs Coverage Unit Tests Integration Tests

JANUS is the prescribed-convective atmosphere module of the PROTEUS coupled atmosphere-interior evolution framework. It is a 1D convective atmosphere model for rocky exoplanet and magma ocean atmospheres, generating a temperature profile from the generalised moist pseudoadiabat and a prescribed stratosphere, and computing radiative fluxes with SOCRATES.

Pronounced jan-us. Jan as in "january", and us as in the collective pronoun.

PROTEUS framework

JANUS is the prescribed convective atmosphere model integrated into the PROTEUS framework, a modular Python framework that simulates the coupled evolution of the atmospheres and interiors of rocky planets and exoplanets. The documentation for PROTEUS can be found here.
