Notes. (a)Tropospheric deep volume-mixing ratio 6 × 10−7, knee pressure 500 mbar, and fractional scale height 0.2 (from Cavalié et al. 2023, for details see text). (b)Zuchowski et al. (2009), normal scenario (two times solar deep-water abundance). Pressure levels indicate lower and higher boundary for ices. (c)Warren (1984) for water ice, Martonchik et al. (1984) for ammonia ice. Mean effective radius for both is ⟨aeff⟩ = 0.5 μm. In the best-fit model, ice cross-sections are scaled with a factor 2 (for details, see section 5.2).
