In some cases, the published pressure–temperature profiles from the Diamondback Zenodo repository (C. Morley et al. 2024; dotted) will produce slightly different optical depth profiles when reproduced with Virga. Here we show the reported Diamondback optical depth profiles available on Zenodo (solid line), vs. two Virga runs. The first is using the final converged pressure–temperature profile also published in the Diamondback Zenodo repository (dotted line). The second is using the preconverged pressure–temperate profile that was used for the final cloud run in EGP (dotted–dashed line). In some cases these will agree well (e.g., T eff = 1900 K; pink). In other cases users will notice slight discrepancies when attempting to reproduce Diamondback cloud models (e.g., T eff = 900 K case).
