Comparison between F (left), Q (middle), and P (right) of the reflected light as computed using the weighted sum method (dashed lines) and as computed for pixelated, horizontally inhomogeneous ocean planets with patchy clouds (solid lines). The solid lines are the same as those shown in the second rows and second columns of Figs. 8–10. The cloud coverage fraction f_c, which isthe weighting factor in the weighted sum approach, is 0.50 and the wind speed v is 7 m s⁻¹. The wavelengths are the same as those used in Figs. 8–10, i.e., 350 nm (pink), 443 nm (blue), 550 nm (green), 670 nm (red), 865 nm (brown).
