Voyager radio-occultation temperature–pressure profiles of Uranus (blue) and Neptune (orange) compared with argon condensation curves for primordial argon enrichments of 1, 100, and 1000 times the protosolar Ar/H2 abundance (dashed curves). Only the 1000× protosolar case intersects the atmospheric profiles near the tropopause, allowing argon to condense.
