a Using extracted spectra from either the subsolar region (Solar Zenith Angle SZA < 15°, average of 8 pixels for MIRI, 27 pixels for NIRSpec) or from the region with large CO2 gas emission (leading, 40–65°N, 46-100°W, 7 pixels for MIRI, 15 pixels for NIRSpec). b Using the most intense 10–15 ro-vibrational lines expected in absorption in the 5.7–6.2 μm spectral range. c Using the most intense 10–15 ro-vibrational lines expected in emission in the 6.2-7.1 μm spectral range. d 3σ upper limits on H2O line-of-sight column density combining upper limits obtained for the two spectral ranges (< 6.2 μm and > 6.2 μm). f Upper limits are 3σ.
