PT profiles derived from cloud-free UM GCM simulations of WASP-96 b at solar (bottom) and 10× solar (top) metallicity, which bracket our derived atmosphere composition. Blue and red profiles represent the morning and evening hemispheres, respectively. Levels of fading denote latitude, with the boldest colors being polar latitudes. Condensation curves for prominent condensate species (labeled) are shown with gray dashed lines.
