Here we demonstrate Virga’s ability to reproduce the results from D. Grant et al. (2023). The optical properties and spectra directly from D. Grant et al. (2023), who used Virga-v0, are shown in dark pink. Light pink shows the results from Virga-v1, which differ slightly because of the updated Al2O3 condensate chemistry. Blue shows the model that would have been created had a user chosen all condensates available in Virga-v1. For reference, in gray we show a cloud-free spectrum to show where the spectral contribution from the cloud is dominant.
