Temporally averaged, over five Earth years of simulation time, zonal wind (arrows) and temperature maps at three different pressures (0.0026 bar, left, 0.016 bar, centre, and 0.2 bar, right) for a non-synchronous HD 209458b-like model in which the difference between the rotational and orbital periods is large (Ω_rot = 4Ω_orb = 4Ω₀). Here we have forgone showing the weakly non-synchronous regime as we have already established its similarity to its synchronous equivalent. We note that the x-axis of these plots is relative-longitude, indicating that we have taken the temporal mean of the wind and temperature in the frame of reference of the irradiation.
