Caption: Figure 10.

The transmission spectrum of WASP-103b, corrected for planet nightside emission at 1700 K (blue points) and uncorrected (red points). The dark gray line is the model transmission spectrum from the τ_drag4 GCM, with squares indicating the model binned over the Spitzer bandpasses. Atmospheric scale height H is shown on the right y-axis, where H = 5.5 × 10⁶ m (assuming a mean molecular weight of 2.3 atomic mass units, surface gravity g = 15.9 m s⁻², and a temperature T = 2410 K).
