Notes. The first four columns list the input parameters: the planet (see Table 1 for parameters), whether coagulation is included or not, the diffusivity Kzz, and the nuclei production rate . The model calculates a steady-state cloud and we list: the peak mass flux (intensity of the rain) , the pressure level where the geometrical transmission optical depth reaches unity Pτ=1, the total geometrical vertical optical depth of the cloud τz,tot, and the maximum grain radius amax.
