Sixteen 1D (T_gas, p_gas)-profiles of the hot giant gas planet WASP-43b, and the ultra-hot Jupiters WASP-18b, HAT-P-7b, WASP-103b, and WASP-121b. The day- and nightside average profiles (lower right panel) exclude the terminators. The sampled longitudes are ϕ = 0°, 45°, 90°, 135°, −180°, −135°, −90° (ϕ < 0 nightside), the latitudes are the equator θ = 0° and θ = 45° in the northern hemisphere. The substellar point is (θ, ϕ) = (0°, 0°) (black dashed), the antistellar point is (θ, ϕ) = (0°, −180°) (black dash-dot), the terminators are at ϕ = 90°, −90° (grey lines). Day/night temperature differences of ≈2500 … 3000 K occur in the atmospheres of ultra-hot Jupiters.
