Methane observations from the Greenhouse Gases Observing SATellite: Comparison to ground‐based TCCON data and model calculations (2011, methodology): “[9] The retrieval algorithm uses an iterative retrieval scheme basedonBayesian optimal estimation to retrieve aset of atmospheric/surface/instrument parameters, referred to as the state vector, from measured spectral radiances [Boesch et al., 2011; Connor et al., 2008 ].”
Improved retrievals of carbon dioxide from Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 with the version 8 ACOS algorithm (2018, methodology): “2 of Connor et al., 2008).”
Carbon source/sink information provided by column CO 2 measurements from the Orbiting Carbon Observatory (2008, background): “Biases due the representation errors were found to be small in Corbin et al. (2008) and are not added here at all.”
How bias correction goes wrong: measurement of XCO2 affected by erroneous surface pressure estimates (2019, methodology): “For all data sets a correction was applied using the OCO-2 averaging kernels based on Connor et al. (2008). We convolve the CO2 profiles from the truth proxies with the OCO-2 column averaging kernel before we compare it to OCO-2 XCO2 .”
Retrieval of atmospheric CO2 with enhanced accuracy and precision from SCIAMACHY: validation with FTS measurements and comparison with model results (2011, methodology): “[8] For the high spectral resolution instruments TANSO and OCO, algorithms have been developed that correct for scattering effects [Kuang et al., 2002; Bril et al., 2007; Connor et al., 2008; Butz et al., 2009].”
