16 Conclusions: (1) WASP-17b, -31b and -6b show evidence for cloud-free, cloudy and hazy atmosphere, i.e. an emerging diversity of exoplanet atmospheres; (2) We find a significant variation in both the Na and K frequency and the Na/K abundance ratio across the targets; (3) Cloudy and hazy atmospheres can provide important atmospheric constraints, i.g. particle sizes, temperatures, etc.; (4) More planets must be studied in transmission to establish correlations between atmospheric and planetary physical properties, e.g. atmospheric type and planet evolutionary history.
