Does this take into account "superrotation" of the atmosphere? Most of the habitable tide-locked planet scenarios I've seen appear to require somethiong like a planetwide tradewind blowign at 30 mph all day every day (for Earth-standard values of "day").

They allso seem to require that the superroatation just fall into a "Goldilocks" range and stay there without any as yet proposed regulation method.

All sounds unlikley to me but proponents emphasize that it might be _possible_.
