FIG. 12. — Reflected light spectra of the 10 bar, high-O₂ (95%) atmospheres (cloud free) with a surface ocean remaining (top) and completely desiccated (bottom). We define the reflectivity (πI/F) of the planet as the outgoing top of atmosphere flux (πI), where I is the radiance, divided by the stellar flux incident at the top of the atmosphere (F). Note the strong O₄ bands present in the UV/VIS/NIR. Both atmospheres were simulated with 0.5% CO₂.
