Extended Data Fig. 7: Pressure-temperature (PT) profiles retrieved for different orbital phases.

Blue lines show the median PT profiles obtained from the ATMO ‘2× PT’ nightside retrievals, with blue shading the corresponding 1σ credible ranges. Red lines and shading show the same for the ATMO ‘2× PT’ dayside retrievals. Green and yellow lines and shading show the same for the NEMESIS ‘2× PT’ nightside and dayside retrievals, respectively. For the ATMO retrievals, thick lines correspond to the same pressures highlighted in Fig. 3, where the contribution function is greatest. For the NEMESIS retrievals, thick lines indicate the equivalent pressures of greatest contribution for those retrievals (Extended Data Fig. 8d). Grey lines reproduce the fiducial dayside and nightside PT distributions of Fig. 3.
