Equatorial transit depth differences between cloudy and clear scenarios for three climate regimes. Top: transit depths averaged over the equatorial morning and evening terminator (latitude θ = 0°) for tidally locked gas planets with T_global=800 K, 1600 K, 2400 K orbiting a G-type main sequence star. Results for cloud-free calculations (blue) and for different cloud mass loads , ρ_g/ρ_d(z), (gray) in atmospheric layers where 〈a〉 < 0.1 μm are shown (light: 10⁻³ρ_g/ρ_d(z), middle: 10⁻²ρ_g/ρ_d(z), dark: 0.1ρ_g/ρ_d(z)). The black line shows Fe-free results with the full cloud mass load, ρ_g/ρ_d(z). Bottom: difference between the cloud-free and all cloud opacity cases.
