Time average vertical profiles of (a) and (b) temperature (T, ﹩{\rm{K}}﹩), and (c) and (d) water vapor (q, ﹩\mathrm{kg}\,{\mathrm{kg}}^{-1}﹩), at the substellar point (solid) and its antipode (dashed) in the (left column) Trappist-1e and (right column) Proxima b simulations with the (blue) MassFlux, (orange) Adjust, and (green) NoCnvPm setup. Note the logarithmic scale of the abscissa in (c) and (d).
