Notes. Studies that consider absorption features within transmission spectra are labelled ‘Transm.’. Studies that consider absorption features within the thermal emission of the planet are labelled ‘Therm.’. Studies that consider radiative feedback of clouds within global circulation models are labelled ‘GCM’. All cloud species are in the solid phase ([s]). Abbreviations used in this table: Bruggeman (Brg.), core-shell (cs.), homogeneous cloud particles (hom.), grey cloud deck (grey), and parameterised cloud description (par.).

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
