4. Nawo Eguchi, Ryu Saito, Tazu Saeki, Yumiko Nakatsuka, Dmitry Belikov, and Shamil Maksyutov, A priori covariance estimation for CO2 and CH4 retrievals, Journal of Geophysical Research-Atmosphere, 10.1029/2009JD013269, 115, D10, D10215 1-16, 2010.05, We derive the a priori covariance matrices of CO2 and CH4 for the retrieval of their profiles and columns from satellite spectral data. The monthly a priori covariance matrices of CO2 and CH4 at each grid cell (0.5° × 0.5°) on the globe are calculated using simulated data from the atmospheric tracer transport model. The a priori covariance matrix is defined as the sum of the bias and noise components, where the bias is obtained from the difference in seasonal cycle between simulated data and observation-based reference data, and the noise is defined as synoptic and interannual variations. The use of simulated data as well as observation-based reference data enables realistic variance and covariance values to be obtained for each temporal component. The seasonal bias is approximately 2 ppm for CO2 and 20 ppb for CH4. A large difference in synoptic variations is obtained between simulated and reference data over the source region, especially over land. The interannual variances derived from the reference data show maximum values (4 ppm2 for CO2 and 220 ppb2 for CH4) in northern midlatitudes. Global data sets of a priori covariance matrices for CO2 and CH4 are now available for the retrieval of concentrations using satellite spectral data. Furthermore, the data set has the potential to be applied in studies in other fields, including estimates of CO2 flux error using inverse modeling and planning for ground-based observation networks..
5. Tatsuya Yokota, Yukio Yoshida, Nawo Eguchi, Yoshifumi Ota, Tomoaki Tanaka, Hiroshi Watanabe and Shamil Maksyutov, Global Concentrations of CO2 and CH4 Retrieved From GOSAT: First Preliminary Results, Scientific Online Letters on the Atmosphere, 10.2151/sola.2009‒041, 5, 1, 160-163, 2009.10, The Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite (GOSAT) was launched on January 23, 2009, to monitor global atmospheric levels of CO2 and CH4 from space. GOSAT started initial operation of its instruments after an initial satellite system check. Although the radiant data obtained by the GOSAT instruments are currently in the preliminary stages of calibration and validation, the spectral absorption features of CO2 and CH4 are clearly identifiable. An initial retrieval of these gaseous concentrations was performed for measurement scenes of cloud-free conditions over land. These results showed that column-averaged dry air mole fractions of both CO2 and CH4 in the northern hemisphere were higher than those in the southern hemisphere. These latitudinal differences agree with data obtained from groundbased sources and other satellite observations; however, the absolute values of the gaseous concentrations from GOSAT data seem to have been underestimated. Calibrations as well as validation should be conducted to improve the quality of GOSAT retrievals..
