Cloud particle number density of grains log ₁₀n_d [cm^-3] (colour bar) and velocity field () at 0.1, 1, 10, 100 mbar and 1, 10 bar for different φ (longitudes) and θ (latitude). Note: the colour bar scale is different for each plot. The sub-stellar point is located at φ = 0°, θ = 0°. Grains are typically more concentrated at equatorial nightside regions. The number density increases until reaching a maximum near 1 bar, which then gradually falls until the lower computational boundary at ~100 bar. The grains follow the flow patterns in the upper atmosphere, showing a preference to transport cloud particles to nightside equatorial regions. Regions deeper than ~1 bar show a more uniform distribution of cloud particles in latitude and longitude.
