Earth at 90 Degrees Obliquity
Added 2022-05-31 22:11:03 +0000 UTCI figured that an early look at some of these climate maps might be a nice patreon perk. This is at an average temp of 15 C, I should also have some cooler ones with ice belts ready for the eventual post.

Really interesting! I´ve just recently discovered your website and patreon but it is a really great source of info for worldbuilding! Im currently thinking about a high obliquity scenario for my speculative biology project. My hypothesis after reading some papers about this is that it could orbit its star at the outer edge of the habitable zone and have a 60° axial tilt, and a dense, CO2 rich atmosphere, larger ocean to dry land ratio to mitigate the extreme seasonal variation - then it could become a really favorable place for life. What do you think about this? Do you have some more information about this? A model would be awesome but I cannot ask this from you. Thank You in advance for response!

2022-06-01 16:25:53 +0000 UTCIm making a specbio project that deals with a high obliquity world so id be really interested about the wind patterns as they could potentially determine the biome placement. could you provide these?
