Top: 1D (T_gas, p_gas) trajectories at latitudes θ = 0° (left) , 45° (right). Dayside profiles (solid) show steep temperature inversions at ~10 mbar, especially at higher latitudes. Nightside (dashed) and terminator (dotted) profiles have smaller inversions. Bottom: zonal (left) mean T_gas [K] as a function of atmospheric pressure and meridional (right) mean T_gas [K] as a function of atmospheric pressure. The largest differences in latitudinal temperature contrasts occur from 10 mbar to 1 bar. The temperature is generally isothermal at atmospheric regions at pressures >5 bar.
