Global distribution of the cloud particle load in term of the dust-to-gas mass ratio ρ_d ∕ρ_gas on HAT-P-7b. The color coding is the same as Fig. 3: the day-side profiled are shown inred, the night-side profiles in blue, the black dashed-dot line is the anti-stellar point (ϕ, θ) = (180^deg, 0^deg). Top right: dust-to-gas mass ratio as a function of p_gas (bar) of the probed 97 profiles. Top left: global maps at p_gas = 10⁻² bar. Bottom left:2D cut through the equatorial plane. Bottom right: 2D cut along the terminator. The slice plot cut-off is at ρ_d ∕ρ_gas = 10⁻³. The dashed green lines indicate where these two slice plots overlap. For the viewing geometry of the slice plots in the bottom row,please see Fig. A.2.
