Radiative energy exchange rate Q (top and middle row) and temperature (bottom row) for the same vertical cut as in Fig. 5 in the last snapshot of the time series of the three spectral types (different columns). The vertical cut is shown with the geometrical coordinate y in the horizontal axis, and the logarithm of the Rosseland optical depth (top row) and the number of pressure scale heights (middle and bottom rows) in the vertical axis. Both depth scales show the same vertical extension. In the bottom row, the iso-τ surfaces are shown in thick solid black (log τ ≤ 0) and thin solid black (log τ > 0) lines, with ∆ log τ = 1.
