Equatorial transit asymmetries for three climate regimes. Top: individual evening and morning equatorial (latitude θ = 0°) transit depths (dashed and solid) for tidally locked gas planet with Tglobal=800 K, 1600 K, 2400 K orbiting a G main sequence star. Results for cloud-free calculations (blue) and for different cloud mass loads, ρg/ρd(z), (gray) in atmospheric layers where 〈a〉 < 0.1 μm are shown (light: 10−3ρg/ρd(z), middle: 10−2ρg/ρd(z), dark: 0.1ρg/ρd(z)). The black lines shows Fe-free results with full ρg/ρd(z). Please note that in the top rightmost panel, dashed lines lie on top of each other. Bottom: difference between the evening and morning terminator transit depths.
