Mean zonal wind for the four different magnetic drag treatments in different regions of the atmosphere: dayside atmosphere (first row), nightside atmosphere (second row), and total atmosphere (third row). The zonal wind velocity, u, is averaged at a specific latitude, and pressure level across longitudes on the dayside (−90ϕ ≤ 90), on the nightside (|ϕ| > 90), and all longitudes. The black line shows the zero-wind contour, the boundary between super-rotation and counter-rotation. The output of the zonal wind velocity is time-averaged over 100 days of simulation time to eliminate the small-scale fluctuations.
