Probing the Multidimensional Nature of Atmospheres of Hot Jupiters Abstract: By far, the most thoroughly observationally and theoretically characterized extrasolar planets are the class of short-period, highly irradiated, gas-giant planets. Though much of our understanding of atmospheric dynamics… Read More
