Space‐based near‐infrared CO2 measurements: Testing the Orbiting Carbon Observatory retrieval algorithm and validation concept using SCIAMACHY observations over Park Falls, Wisconsin (2006, background): “5 ppm) [Kuang et al., 2002].”
Evidence of systematic errors in SCIAMACHY-observed CO 2 due to aerosols (2005, unknown): “According to the theoretical study by Kuang et al. (2002) this approach should allow a precision of ∼0.3–2.5 ppm for aerosol optical thicknesses less than 0.3.”
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].”
The Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO) mission (2004, methodology): “Estimates of XCO2 were then derived with a remote sensing retrieval algorithm based on optimal estimation retrieval theory (Rodgers, 1976; Rodgers, 2000; Kuang et al., 2002).”
Precision requirements for space-based XCO2 data (2007, methodology): “…analyzed GLAS data and determined that the global fraction of clear sky scenes (t < 0.01) is 15% with an additional 20% of scenes having total cloud and aerosol optical depth t< 0.2, the approximate threshold for which precise XCO2 retrievals are possible [Crisp et al., 2004; Kuang et al., 2002].”
Inverse modeling of CO2 sources and sinks using satellite data: a synthetic inter-comparison of measurement techniques and their performance as a function of space and time (2003, methodology): “The measurement precision is assumed the same as for SCIAMACHY (3.6 ppmv),25 although this may be somewhat conservative according to Kuang et al. (2002) who report achievable precisions of 0.3–2.5 ppmv.”
