Atmospheric validation of high accuracy CO2 absorption coefficients for the OCO-2 mission

DR Thompson, DC Benner, LR Brown, D Crisp… - Journal of Quantitative …, 2012 - Elsevier
We describe atmospheric validation of 1.61 μm and 2.06 μm CO2 absorption coefficient
databases for use by the Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO-2). The OCO-2 mission will
collect the measurements needed to estimate column-averaged CO2 dry air mole fraction
within 1ppm accuracy without the region-or airmass-dependent biases that would
significantly degrade efforts to understand carbon sources and sinks on a global scale. To
accomplish this, the forward radiative transfer model used to generate synthetic atmospheric …
