| Zusammenfassung |
The Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite (GOSAT) mission, and in particular
the Thermal And Near infrared Sensor for carbon Observations–Fourier Transform Spectrometer (TANSO-FTS) instrument, has the advantage of being able to measure simultaneously the same
field of view in different spectral ranges with a high spectral resolution.
These features allow studying the benefits of using multispectral
measurements to improve the CO2 and CH4 retrievals.
In order to quantify the impact of the spectral synergy on the retrieval
accuracy, we performed an information content (IC) analysis from simulated
spectra corresponding to the three infrared bands of TANSO-FTS. The
advantages and limitations of using thermal and shortwave infrared
simultaneously are discussed according to surface type and state vector
composition. The IC is then used to determine the most informative spectral
channels for the simultaneous retrieval of CO2 and CH4. The
results show that a channel selection spanning the three infrared bands can
improve the computation time and retrieval accuracy. Therefore, a selection
of less than 700 channels from the thermal infrared (TIR) and shortwave infrared (SWIR) bands allows retrieving
CO2 and CH4 simultaneously with a similar accuracy to using all
channels together to retrieve each gas separately. |
