Assessing the effects of forest health on sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence using the FluorFLIGHT 3-D radiative transfer model to account for forest structure (2017, methodology): “The first global maps of SIF were published 82 (Frankenberg et al., 2011; Joiner et al., 2014) using the TANSO sensor on board GOSAT 83 (Kuze et al., 2009) allowing qualitative assessments with annual and seasonal vegetation 84 patterns (Guanter et al., 2012).”
Disentangling chlorophyll fluorescence from atmospheric scattering effects in O2 A‐band spectra of reflected sun‐light (2011, methodology): “We report the performance of the algorithm on the basis of simulated measurements according to GOSAT and OCO‐2 specifications, paving the way towards space‐based retrievals of chlorophyll fluorescence with current satellites.”
The ACOS CO 2 retrieval algorithm – Part 1: Description and validation against synthetic observations (2011, methodology): “A new era of space-based CO2 monitoring is at hand with the appearance of dedicated CO2 instruments such as the Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite (GOSAT) 25 (Kuze et al., 2009; Yokota et al., 2009), which successfully launched in 2009, and the second Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO-2) with a lau”
The Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO-2): spectrometer performance evaluation using pre-launch direct sun measurements (2014, result): “There is a strong similarity between footprints but, in general, most features are below 0.5 %, similar to measurements from the GOSAT satellite as well as TCCON.”
Attribution of the accelerating increase in atmospheric methane during 2010–2018 by inverse analysis of GOSAT observations (2020, methodology): “The observation vector for the inversion (y) consists of column-averaged dry-air methane mole fractions during 2010–2018 observed by the TANSO-FTS instrument on board the Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite (GOSAT) (Kuze et al., 2009).”
Filling-in of near-infrared solar lines by terrestrial fluorescence and other geophysical effects: simulations and space-based observations from SCIAMACHY and GOSAT (2012, neutral): “GOSAT has two instrument packages: (1) the Thermal And Near-infrared Sensor for carbon Observation-Fourier Transform Spectrometer (TANSO-FTS) (Kuze et al., 2009) measures backscattered solar radiation in three short-wave infrared (SWIR) regions, referred to as “bands”, centered at 0.76, 1.6, and 2.0”
Comparisons of the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) X CO 2 measurements with TCCON (2016, background): “…ocean and a sharp escarpment, and the Edwards TCCON station is adjacent to a very bright playa, a land surface property previously identified from the Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite (GOSAT; Kuze et al., 2009, 2016) results as challenging for space-borne XCO2 retrievals (Wunch et al., 2011b).”
Methane retrievals from Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite (GOSAT) shortwave infrared measurements: Performance comparison of proxy and physics retrieval algorithms (2012, methodology): “Monitoring its abundances in the Earth ’ s atmosphere is one of the goals of the Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite (GOSAT) [ Yokota et al. , 2004; Kuze et al. , 2009].”
Using field spectroscopy to assess the potential of statistical approaches for the retrieval of sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence from ground and space (2013, neutral): “The high spectral resolution measurements provided by the Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS) onboard the Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite “IBUKI” (GOSAT) (Kuze et al., 2009) represent the first space data from which the production of global Fs maps has been feasible to date.”
Update on GOSAT TANSO-FTS performance, operations, and data products after more than 6 years in space (2016, methodology): “There is no functional and performance change on orbit in TANSO-CAI since launch except for the gradual radiometric degradation.”
Methane observations from the Greenhouse Gases Observing SATellite: Comparison to ground‐based TCCON data and model calculations (2011, methodology): “[8] The OCO ‘full physics’ retrieval algorithm was developed for the NASA Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO) mission to retrieve XCO2 (dry‐air column‐averaged mole fraction of CO2) from a simultaneous fit of SWIR O2 and CO2 bands.”
