Hot Jupiter Expectations
1. High Temperatures– No Clouds– Low Albedo
2. Large Power Budget– Day-Night forcing– Rapid Winds
3. Tidally Locked– Weak Coriolis Force– Large Storms

What Determines Tday and Tnight ?
1. Bright Star: T0 = Teff (R*/a)1/2
• Doesn’t affect relativebrightness
2. Bond Albedo: A• Keeps planet cool• Less infrared light
3. Recirculation: ε ≈ τrad /τadv
• Cools day-side• Warms night-side
