Temperature profile for different surface temperature during the dry transition with 1 bar of water vapor. Arrows indicate the transition between a dry adiabat in the lower part of the atmosphere (high pressures) and a wet one in the bottom part (low pressures) for the coldest (blue) and hottest (red) cases. Dry region is below the transition while moist one is above (Abe & Matsui 1988; Kasting 1988). The simulation setup is the waterworld with 1 bar of nitrogen without CO₂ (W1).
