Notes. The models kcm1d, PyRADS, and Exo_k are available in the literature while PyRADS-Conv1D is an original model. In bold, we give the models used to produce reference curves using the line-by-line or the correlated-k radiative transfer methods. The convection scheme and the radiative transfer method of each model are detailed in the corresponding tables. The convection scheme sub-table includes the adiabatic lapse rate used (Adiabatic lapse rate), the number of levels in the atmosphere (Levels), the pressureboundary conditions at the top and at the bottom of the atmosphere (Pres. boundary conditions), and the assumption used to define the entropy of the condensable gas (entropy def.). The radiative transfer method table includes themethod to compute absorption coefficients (Absorb. Coeff.), the shape of the absorption lines (Line shape), the database used to compute the absorption lines (HITRAN) (Gordon et al. 2017), the database of the H2O–H2O and H2O–N2 continua (H2O Cont.) (Amundsen et al. 2017), the database of the N2 –N2 continuum (N2 –N2 Cont.) (Karman et al. 2019), and if the method considers the water isotopes lines from HITRAN database at terrestrial abundances (De Biévre et al. 1984) (H2O iso.).
