Determining the behaviour of convection and clouds is one of the biggestchallenges in our understanding of exoplanetary climates. Given the lack of insitu observations, one of the most preferable approaches is to usecloud-resolving or cloud-permitting models (CPM). Here we present CPMsimulations in a quasi-global domain with high spatial resolution (4$\times$4km grid) and explicit convection to study the cloud regime of 1 to 1 tidallylocked rocky planets orbiting around low-mass stars. We show that thesubstellar region is covered by deep convective clouds and cloud albedoincreases with increasing stellar flux. The CPM produces relatively less cloudliquid water concentration, smaller cloud coverage, lower cloud albedo, anddeeper H2O spectral features than previous general circulation model (GCM)simulations employing empirical convection and cloud parameterizations.Furthermore, cloud streets--long bands of low-level clouds oriented nearlyparallel to the direction of the mean boundary-layer winds--appear in the CPMand substantially affect energy balance and surface precipitation at a locallevel.
