The radiative cooling rates were calculated at 30° N (black) and 30° S (red) between 2 and 0.003 hPa, by differentiating the net thermal flux integrated over the v4-band of methane, the v9-band of ethane and the v5-band of acetylene. The hydrocarbon abundance was set to the retrieved value presented in Fig. 2.
