Traveling Planetary-scale Waves Cause Cloud Variability on Tidally Locked Aquaplanets

Cloud cover at the planetary limb of water-rich Earth-like planets is likely to weaken chemical signatures in transmission spectra, impeding attempts to characterize these atmospheres. However, based on observations of Earth and Solar System worlds, exoplanets with atmospheres should have both short...
