Too Long; Didn't Read

In this section, we provide additional plots for the cloudy scenarios. In Figures D.1 and D.2 we show the retrieved exoplanet parameters and abundances for the different scenarios with varying R and S/N values.

In this section, we provide additional plots for the cloudy scenarios. In Figures D.1 and D.2 we show the retrieved exoplanet parameters and abundances for the different scenarios with varying R and S/N values. Finally, we plot in Figure D.3 the maximum difference ∆ between the cumulative posteriors for the different model parameters, for each combination of the cloudy scenarios and different R-S/N pairs.

Fig. C.1: On the diagonal, the Bayesian evidence ZMi for each setup for the clear Modern (MOD-CF) scenario. In the lower triangle, Bayes’ factor for every pair of retrieval setups for the clear Modern Earth (MOD-CF) scenario. The cells in the lower triangle are color-coded according to the colorbar, whose limits are determined by the Jeffrey’s scale (see Table C.1).
