Short summary
During its first Earth flyby, the JUpiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) spacecraft acquired observations over the Western Pacific. We identify several gaseous compounds (O2, H2O, CO2, O3, CH4, N2O), liquid/ice clouds over the ocean and atmospheric waves at high altitudes. We find good agreement with similar observations of Earth-orbiting PRISMA spectrometer. This study helps in planning future observations from the Moon and Jupiter Imaging Spectrometer (Majis) when it comes to the Jupiter system.
