What kind of climates and biomes would exist on the continents a tidally locked ocean world?

+0
−0

Please note: I am asking about planet orbiting a star, not a moon orbiting a planet.

So I've been trying to get this planet down for a long while now but there are still so many pieces of the puzzle that I have yet to figure out; What types of climates and biomes would exist on this planet and how can I determine where these biomes would exist.

The planet is about 0.85x the mass of Earth, 1.15x the size, and about 1.75x the atmospheric density (likely subject to change). The planet is mostly ocean on the light side, with most of the continents around the twilight zone extending into the dark, frozen ice sheets.

I have tried researching how to determine the biomes and climates of planets but as expected it was all for Earth-like planets where the equatorial line as the main tropic zones, and extending laterally. I would assume a tidally locked planet would have its biomes change in a ring formation but I can't be sure on the specifics like what biomes could possibly exist.
