Incident shortwave radiation at the top of the model for both the CTLE and the WTLE. Shades of red indicate high incoming solar radiation and define the dayside of the planet. Shades of blue indicate low incoming solar radiation. The dark bluevisible in the centre of the plot indicates a lack of incoming solar radiation and defines the nightside of the planet. The subsolar point is indicated with a white pointon either side of the figure. It is centred approximately at (0°, 180°) over the Pacific Ocean. The antisolar point is indicated with a magenta point in the centre of the figure and is centred approximately at (0°,0°)
