Temperature (in K) and wind maps at pressure levels of 2.5 mbar (top) and 220 mbar (bottom) in our hot Jupiter model. Each map is shown in Miller cylindrical projection, with the substellar point located at (0, 0). The maximum wind speeds are 10 (top) and 4 km s ⁻¹ (bottom). High in the atmosphere, winds are very strong and directed away from the dayside, but the temperature pattern remains strongly determined by insolation. Somewhat deeper in the atmosphere, the winds become more efficient at advecting hot gas away from the dayside before it cools significantly. A strong super-rotating equatorial jet develops.
