• Evidence of systematic errors in SCIAMACHY-observed CO 2 due to aerosols (2005, methodology): “As a consequence of the use of such a simplified radiative transfer model, Dufour and Breon (2003) [as well as O’Brien and Rayner (2002)] only report underestimation of CO2 due to aerosols, while our multiple scattering calculations point to a more complex behavior related to surface albedo supporti”
• NASA Orbiting Carbon Observatory: measuring the column averaged carbon dioxide mole fraction from space (2008, methodology): “Precise, bias-free measurements of [CO2] and [O2] are essential for monitoring surface sources and sinks because CO2 surface fluxes must be inferred from spatial and temporal gradients in XCO2, which is thought to vary by no more than ~2% on regional to continental scales(1000 by 1000 km) [3, 7, 8, ”
• Precision requirements for space-based XCO2 data (2007, methodology): “That study used a higher resolution than Rayner and O’Brien [2001] (116 source regions versus 26) and used an orbit simulator to sample the model in accordance with satellite orbit and viewing geometry.”
• Methane retrievals from Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite (GOSAT) shortwave infrared measurements: Performance comparison of proxy and physics retrieval algorithms (2012, background): “An important source of such errors are scattering events that take place along the light path through the Earth ’ s atmosphere [ O ’ Brien and Rayner , 2002; Mao and Kawa , 2004; Houweling et al. , 2005; Frankenberg et al. , 2005; Aben et al. , 2007].”
