Additional Input Parameters Used in CCSM4 Climate Simulations of Kepler-62f

Parameter Run1 Run2 Run3 Run4 Run5 Run6 Run7
Orbital eccentricity 0.0 0.1 0.2 0.32 0.32 0.32 0.0
Obliquity (°) 23 23 23 23 60 23 0
Rotation rate 24 h 24 h 24 h 24 h 24 h 24 h 365 days
VEP (°) 90 90 90 90 90 0 90

Here the parameter “VEP” is the angle of the vernal equinox relative to pericenter. Run7 is the synchronous rotation rate case, where the planet's rotation period is equal to its orbital period.
