Note that Páho rotates opposite of Earth. It's also bigger, though I'm not sure by how much, still. I'm thinking a radius of 8000 to 9000km, so about one and a half times that of Earth.[/quote]

Why is there only one circulation direction for the ocean currents in each hemisphere (clockwise in the south and counterclockwise in the north)? If it’s larger than Earth, the plane...

[quote dhok, Deacon, Norman, United States]What [i]would[/i] happen, climactically, to a planet that had a continent taking up the entire equatorial belt?[/quote]
I’ve been struggling to determine that myself. Presumably most of the significant differences would be due to ocean and air currents and their interactions with one another, but I think there’s a lot of room for variation depending on the given specifics.

It would definitely depend on the size of the planet and the size of...

It’s sort of an artifact of the first incarnation of the planet being mapped by a four-year-old, but it does make for some interesting ecological and geopolitical situations.

Your Worst Nooblang (2014-11-16 00:41:20) :
Qoqqkyuk seems downright usable for a first conlang, all things considered. Where’d that single geminate /k/ come from, though?

Most of my nooblang papers are back at home while I’m off at college, but (un)fortunately I have enough of one of them to produce something. So: my third conlang, Sazhere! — made at c. 12 years old with zero knowledge of linguistics, and used for a horrid fantasy novel that reads like a parody of the Silmarillion.

For the phonology, my goal was to put ...

ADD INCHES TO YOUR DICTIONARY OVERNIGHT (2014-10-28 13:53:49) :
I generally just translate or compose texts and create words as necessary in transit, adding derived forms as I go. I’ve always thought this approach made the most sense: you get words as you need them, you simultaneously puzzle out any uncertain syntax, you get attestations of all your words, you can incorporate cultural points of interest, and you have the beginnings of a con-literary-tradition.

Otherwise, the old standby Swadesh list and its ilk are standard points to begin from, if ...

If you’re running a newer windows computer, you’d want the »Planetary Climate Sim for Win32« version linked at the very bottom of the page rather than the main version linked above it. It works on my computer from 2014, though I’ve no idea if any versions still work as far as non-Windows machines go.

If it’s just climate simulations you need, I’d suggest the Planetary Climate Sim over at [url=http://www.rocketpunk-observatory.com/]the Observatory[/url] might be a better place to start. Much more detailed input and output, with none of the problems mentioned above — though it is mostly intended for Earthlike planets. For Venus it still underestimates the temperature at about 100C, presumably because the only clouds it takes into account are water clouds.

Before you convert to a table: Ctrl+h, click the plus sign next to “Other options”, check “Regular expressions”, search for \t\t and replace with \t. Then repeat until all tabs are single tabs.
