LIFE can constrain atmospheric H2O abundances from roughly 10^{-3} to 1 bar surface pressure on Earth-like exoplanets for certain vertical profiles, providing a potential proxy for surface oceans, but cannot detect water below 10^{-6} bar or precisely characterize the highest abundances.

Impact of Climate States and Seasons on Future Exo-Earth Observations
Climate states on exoplanets with the same atmospheric composition create different reflectance spectra, changing the detectability of atmospheric features and biosignatures, with seasonal variations on high-obliquity worlds adding time-dependent signals.

The Goldilocks problem for detecting water in terrestrial planets: Constraining water abundances in the mid-IR with LIFE
LIFE can constrain atmospheric H2O abundances from roughly 10^{-3} to 1 bar surface pressure on Earth-like exoplanets for certain vertical profiles, providing a potential proxy for surface oceans, but cannot detect water below 10^{-6} bar or precisely characterize the highest abundances.
