| Parameter | Description | Range of values |
|---|---|---|
| τc | Optical thickness of the cloud | [0.05–50.0] |
| Δc/Hg | Geometrical vertical extension of the cloud in units of the scale height | [1–8] |
| τc→TOA | Optical thickness of the gas from the top of the cloud to the top | [1.35–4.5 × 10−4] |
| of the atmosphere (TOA) at the reference wavelength λ* = 800 nm | ||
| reff | Effective radius of the cloud’s aerosols [μm] | [0.10–10.0] |
| ω0 | Single-scattering albedo of the cloud’s aerosols | [0.50–1.0] |
 |
CH4 abundance relative to H2-He, assumed constant over the atmosphere | [1 × 10−5–5 × 10−2] |
| Rp∕RN | Planet radius normalized to that of Neptune | [0.05–5.0] |
