Left: local gas temperature and local gas pressure (T_gas, p_gas) extracted from the 3D GCM (Parmentier et al. 2018). Right: total mineral seed formation (nucleation) rate, J_* [cm⁻³ s⁻¹]. Top: 1D profiles for the probed 97 profiles (red – dayside, blue - nightside, grey dashed – morning terminator (ϕ = 270°), grey-solid – evening terminator (ϕ = 90°), black dashed– substellar point(ϕ = 0°) black dot-dashed – antistellar point (ϕ = 180°)). Middle: 2D cut visualising the temperature distribution (left) and the distribution of the formed condensation seeds (right) in the equatorial plane. Bottom: 2D cut along the terminator for the a tidally locked WASP-43b.
