  1. For cloud models, the composition of the condensates are provided, along with the prescribed mean radius of the condensed cloud particles. For the RM-GCM cloud models, simulations with eight species of clouds include KCl, Cr2O3, SiO2, Mg2SiO4, VO, Ca2SiO4, CaTiO2, and Al2O3, while those with 13 species additionally include ZnS, Na2S, MnS, Fe, and Ni; in these cases, particle sizes vary with height, and the prescribed maximum vertical extent of the clouds, expressed in pressure scale heights (H), are also provided. Further details of the models can be found in the text. Phase curve maxima and minima are expressed as the planet-to-star flux ratio in ppm, while offsets are expressed in degrees of longitude east relative to the sub-stellar longitude. Simulations featured in Figure 3 are indicated (*).
