Contour plots giving retrieved β (where β specifies how the energy incident from the central star is spread through the atmosphere; see Eq. 3) as a function of longitude and latitude for the eight different retrieval setups, as detailed above each panel, β can be used in Eq 7 to compute the temperature at a given pressure layer as a function of longitude and latitude; see Figures A.5 and A.6. Stevenson and Mendonça refer to the use of Spitzer data analysed by Stevenson et al. (2017) and Mendonça et al. (2018a), respectively.
