Latitudinally averaged transit depth differences between cloudy and clear scenarios for three climate regimes. Top: transit depths averaged over the evening and morning terminator for tidally locked gas planet with Tglobal=800 K, 1600 K, 2400 K orbiting a G main sequence star denoted by dashed and solid lines, respectively. The following latitudes were combined for each limb in the calculations: θ = 0°, ±23°, ±45°, ±68°, ±86°. Results for cloud-free calculations are shown in blue and for different cloud mass loads, ρg/ρd(z), in atmospheric layers where 〈a〉 < 0.1 μm are shown in gray (light: 10−3ρg/ρd(z), middle: 10−2ρg/ρd(z), dark: 0.1ρg/ρd(z)). The black lines shows Fe-free results with full ρg/ρd(z). Bottom: difference between the cloud-free and all cloudy opacity calculations.
