Fig. 4

Atmospheric structure of the symmetric idealized case, ∇+T, assuming an absence of H2 dissociation. We show the temperature map (top) and the water abundance map (bottom). The temperature gradient goes from 500 to 3500 K. The transmission angle is 10° around the terminator line and has a 2500 K ring at P = 0.13 bar from the surface pressure. From the center outward, the five solid lines are, respectively, the 106, 103, 1, 10−2, and 10−4 Pa pressure levels. The color-coding for the water abundance maps goes from 5 × 10−4 to 10−7. The radius of the planet and the atmosphere are shown to scale. The temperature and abundance maps of the ∇− T case are almost the same, except the scale height of the atmosphere is smaller.
