over the last 100 days of simulation. The deeper atmosphere would need a much longer, impractical integration time to converge. Our results therefore rely on the assumption that the deep atmospheric properties do not significantly alter the photospheric layers, an often made and reasonable assumption as shown by . Although this has recently been called into question in the context of grey radiative transfer schemes [@2019arXiv190413334C; @Wang2020], the timescales needed for equilibriation (50,000 to 100,000 days) are impractical when using non-grey radiative transfer.

[@20VePaBl.wasp43b] show in their Fig. 9 that the cloudless GCM spectra fits very well to the dayside atmosphere but is a poor fit to the nightside atmosphere. In Fig. 11 they show that post-processed clouds allow a much better fit to the nightside atmospheres. When active clouds are added in the GCM the nightside spectra does not change significantly compared to the post-processed case, showing that the nightside temperature structure is not extremely affected. This experiment shows that the cloudless GCM is a reasonable approximation to the temperature map of WASP-43b.
