Retrieved atmospheric PT profiles and spectral pressure contributions for all six phases. PT profiles are shown in purple, corresponding to the y-axis and bottom x-axis of each subplot. Spectral contributions are shown in green, corresponding to the y-axes and top x-axes of each subplot. Sharing a pressure axis, we are able to analyze how deep into the atmosphere we are probing at each phase. Notably, the intermediary phases exhibit a lower-pressure depth during emission spectroscopy, potentially indicating the presence of high-altitude clouds.
