Global Chemical Transport on Hot Jupiters: Insights from the 2D VULCAN Photochemical Model

The atmospheric dynamics of tidally locked hot Jupiters is characterized by strong equatorial winds. Understanding the interaction between global circulation and chemistry is crucial in atmospheric studies and interpreting observations. Two-dimensional (2D) photochemical transport models shed light...
