Caption: Figure 7.

Latitude–pressure cross sections of zonal wind at the day–night terminators. Each panel shows u averaged over ±10° around the morning and evening terminators. The Steep Uplift case strengthens and deepens the upper-level westerlies and broadens the jet core, whereas the Plateau case exhibits just a slightly weaker structure. The color scale is symmetric about zero.
