Overview of the model setup for the Trappist-1e case (see Tables 1 and 2). The MassFlux simulation covers the whole sphere, while the HighRes simulation is shown by superimposing a high-resolution grid that covers only the substellar region. The graphic shows cloud condensate (white isosurfaces), surface temperature (shading), and free troposphere wind vectors (arrows), focusing (a) on the day side, with the HighRes model domain and the cloud condensate isosurface, and (b) on the night side of the planet. The cloud condensate is shown using a threshold of 10−5 kg kg−1 of total cloud condensate (liquid water plus ice).
