Same as Figure 4, but for the Atmos Titan model. The hazes from both retrievals are approximately at the correct altitude. More transits, i.e., high precisions, are needed to constrain much more than the methane abundance, the radius, and the pressure onset of the haze, which is generally larger particles. Note that the POSEIDON haze location is inferred from the pressure contribution functions.
