Hot Jupiters are giant planets orbiting in tidally locked orbits very close to their stars.
Drag-less grid of models
We here present a grid of 345 non-grey 3D hydrodynamic models of hot Jupiters atmospheric models calculated with the SPARC/MITgcm code. All details are described in Roth et al. 2024 (link to arxiv) and all models can be downloaded here: https://zenodo.org/doi/10.5281/zenodo.10785320.
We provide:
- The time-averaged 3D pressure, temperature and wind structure for each model.
- The emission spectrum of the planet at multiple phases along its orbit, together with the spectral phase curve calculated on 196 different wavelengths bins.
- A python code that visualises both physical and spectral outputs of the grid in a convenient way.

Draged grid of models
An additional 171 models, not described yet in a publication, have been uploaded at the same link with the addition of a Rayleigh drag representing all sorts of possible dissipation, incuding sub-grid dissipation, hydrodynamical instabilities, shocks and/or magnetic drag. The timescale for the Rayleigh drag are 103, 104 and 105 seconds.

Python visualizer
The Zenodo link comes with a Python visualiser. Look at the "Slider_README.txt" file to understand the slider function. Once run you will obtain the kind of output below, with the small arrows allowing you to choose which model to preview.
