Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer observations of the tropospheric HDO/H2O ratio: Estimation approach and characterization (2006, unknown): “Spectral windows are selected that maximize the information content of the estimated HDO and H 2 O profiles [Worden et al., 2004b].”
Tropospheric emission spectrometer: retrieval method and error analysis (2006, methodology): “Objective methods for microwindow selection have been discussed by [9]–[12].”
Simultaneous ground-based observations of O 3 , HCl, N 2 O, and CH 4 over Toronto, Canada by three Fourier transform spectrometers with different resolutions (2006, unknown): “This is possibly caused by the more poorly understood spectroscopy of methane, specifi-15 cally the lack of accurate air-broadening coefficients and temperature dependencies, which has been noted by Rothman et al. (2005), Brown et al. (2003) and Worden et al. (2004).”
Validation of Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) nadir ozone profiles (2008, background): “In cloud-free conditions, the nadir ozone profiles have approximately four degrees of freedom for signal, approximately two of which are in the troposphere, giving an estimated vertical resolution of about 6 km [Bowman et al., 2002, 2006; Worden et al., 2004] with a 5.3 by 8.3 km footprint.”
Profiles of CH 4 , HDO, H 2 O, and N 2 O with improved lower tropospheric vertical resolution from Aura TES radiances (2011, background): “(1) (Worden et al., 2004; Bowman et al., 2006) and must formally be included in the error analysis; however, for the sake of brevity we exclude this term in subsequent equations.”
Aerosol and ozone changes as forcing for climate evolution between 1850 and 2100 (2013, unknown): “The retrievals and error estimation, already described by Worden et al. (2004), Bowman et al. (2002, 2006) and Kulawik et al. (2006) are based on the optimal estimation approach (Rodgers et al. 2000).”
