Caption: Figure 2.

Mean (solid curves) and maximum (dashed curves) errors in the synthetic spectrum as a function of the number of model layers used, computed by performing retrievals on the measured spectrum of HR 8799b. The reference used is the retrieval with 10,000 model layers (see the text). When about 100 layers are used, the models with isothermal and non-isothermal layers yield the same answers.
