Left: comparison between an example Sonora Flame Skimmer model (orange) and a custom PICASO patchy water cloud model (blue) for identical atmospheric parameters (assuming a 1 MJup planet). Synthetic F444W photometry are shown as circles and the NIRCam F444W upper limit is shown as an inverted triangle. Water clouds suppress the 4–5 μm peak flux, redistributing it to longer wavelengths. Right: synthetic photometry for all patchy cloud models compared against the NIRCam upper limit.
