The green box contains the codes presented in this paper that make up the Arχes and the Exoclimes suites. We use as inputs provided homogenised information for the stellar and planetary samples and we produce the elemental bulk composition and the molecular atmospheric composition of these planets. These are used to make highly detailed and realistic synthetic atmospheric spectra. -- astro-ph.EP
