Notes. When missing values are present in the table it does mean that the retrieval was not able to move from its initial guess. This happened only for the ammonia deep mixing ratio and the deep cloud parameters in the case of the GRS spectra retrieval. In that case, in fact, the main cloud deck became optically thick higher in the troposphere. The results presented in this table were used to obtain the maps presented in Fig. 5.
