Scientific paper

The information content of equivalent widths and line profiles is investigated when all of the pressure-broadened lines belong to a unique spectrum. The parameters which can be derived without a priori knowledge of the planetary atmosphere are emphasized. In general, the analysis of equivalent widths alone does not allow one to distinguish between different atmospheric models. A scattering indicator, which is a dimensionless number derived from the shape of line wings, is found to determine the influence of scattering in the absorption process.
