Abstract
⺠We present results from a general circulation model of a tidally locked super-Earth. ⺠We perform a parameter sweep in global mean surface pressure and surface albedo. ⺠Our simulations are performed in the rapidly-rotating exoplanet regime. ⺠We find the circulation and temperature depend on both surface pressure and albedo. ⺠The variation in surface pressure is observationally detectable in transit spectra.
