Methane precipitation in ice giant atmospheres by Toledo, D, Rannou, P, Irwin, PG, de Batz de Trenquelléon, B, Roman, M, Apestigue, V, Arruego, I, Yela, M

“…</strong> Our simulations show cloud bases close to 1.24 bars in Uranus and 1.64 bars in Neptune, with droplets up to 100 µm causing high settling velocities and precipitation rates (∼370 mm per Earth year). The high settling velocities limit the total cloud opacity, yielding values at 0.8 µm of ∼0.19 for Uranus and ∼0.35 for Neptune, using Keddy = 0.5 m2 s−1 and a deep methane mole fraction (μCH4) of 0.04. …”
