Relative temperature differences between RHD and MCRT simulations of the reference model. Top: normalized histogram. Center: Scatter plot for derived RHD temperatures and corresponding relative temperature differences. Bottom: Scatter plot for derived RHD gas densities and corresponding relative temperature differences. Data for the high-resolution (Hill) region is color coded in blue (red). The mean and std of the displayed distributions are indicated in the top-right corner. Labels in the scatter plots mark areas that roughly correspond to the following regions: the midplane (indicated by the letter “M”), the gap (“G”), and the photosphere and higher layers (“P”).
