We explore if the uniform VMR assumption is a reasonable argument for the next generation of exoplanet data sets. Using a thermochemical equilibrium model built within Cerberus, an exoplanet radiative transfer code and a parameters retrieval package, we create forward models using non-uniform VMR profiles. We then fit these models against the spectral signature for WASP-12b from the HST data set, and against the predicted spectrum from JWST. Finally, we quantify the interactions between parameters by applying a Monte Carlo Markov Chain in order to demonstrate any significance.
