Numerical data of the 3D GCM atmosphere simulations for HAT-P-7b according to Sect. 2.4 at ≈1 bar, 0.1 bar and 0.01 bar. Left: gas temperature (colour coded) and horizontal velocity (arrows). Right: vertical (colour coded) and the horizontal (arrows) velocity components. These are the original numerical data from which we extract the 97 1D profiles shown Fig. 3. The velocity field (right) shows the equatorial jet, the global-scale overturning circulation with upwelling on the dayside and downwelling on the nightside, i.e. a global Hadley-cell like large-scale vertical velocity components.
