Retrieved TPs for leading hemisphere datasets: M22-L (top row) and J21-L (bottom row). Columns show the 3T, 2T, and 1T parameterizations (left to right). The black curve is the best-fit TP; the gray band marks the 1σ credible interval. The legend for each profile provides the best-fit SO2 column density, fractional coverage, wind dispersion parameters, and, when applicable, the transition pressure (with 1σ errors). Left axes give pressure; right axes show the corresponding altitude. The dashed horizontal black line indicates the modeled surface pressure, quoted with uncertainties calculated from the upper and lower bounds of the SO2 column density.
