Caption: Figure 6.

Phase-resolved planet-to-star flux ratios (points) compared to the best-fit blackbody (blue line) and the GCM with τdrag4. Phases ϕ = 0.5 and 0.0 correspond to times of secondary eclipse and transit, when the substellar and antistellar points are respectively aimed at Earth. The blackbody model is fit to the HST/WFC3 data only. We also show a 100 ppm error bar in the lower right of each panel to emphasize the changing limits on the y-axes.
