Atmospheric circulation of tide-locked exoplanets

RT Pierrehumbert, M Hammond - Annual Review of Fluid …, 2019 - annualreviews.org
Tide-locked planets are planets in which tidal stresses from the host star have spun down

Equatorial superrotation on tidally locked exoplanets

AP Showman, LM Polvani - The Astrophysical Journal, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
