Coupe verticale simplifiée de la circulation atmosphérique simulée sur une planète en orbite synchrone autour de son étoile : coupe verticale le long de l’équateur; adapté de Carone et al. (2013), Yang et al. (2014), Stevenson (2016). (A) Centre de hautes pressions permanentes; (D) Centre de basses pressions permanentes. Flèches bleues : circulation d’air froid; flèches rouges : circulation d’air chaud. L’augmentation de la taille des (+) et des (-) indique un échauffement (+) ou un refroidissement (-) plus intense de la surface. Point substellaire et Terminateur : voir définitions dans le glossaire. A simplified vertical cross section of the simulated atmospheric circulation over a synchronously rotating (= tidally locked) planet: Vertical cross-section along the Equator; modified from Carone et al. (2013), Yang et al. (2014), and Stevenson (2016). (A) Permanent high-pressure area; (D) Permanent low-pressure area. Blue arrows: cold air circulation; red arrows: warm air circulation. The larger size of (+) and (-) shows a more intense surface heating (+) or cooling (-). For the “Point substellaire” (substellar point) and the “terminateur” (terminator), refer to glossary for définitions.
