ESA Greenhouse Gases Climate Change Initiative (GHG CCI): GOSAT CO2 Level 2 Data Product (CO2_GOS_SRFP) version 2.3.7, generated with the SRFP (RemoTeC) algorithm

Part of the European Space Agency's (ESA) Greenhouse Gases (GHG) Climate Change Initiative (CCI) project and Climate Research Data Package Number 2 (CRDP#3), the XCO2 GOSAT product comprises a level 2, column-averaged dry-air mole fraction (mixing ratio) for carbon dioxide (CO2). The product has been produced using data acquired from the Thermal and Near Infrared Sensor for Carbon Observations (TANSO-FTS) NIR and SWIR spectra, onboard the Japanese Greenhouse gases Observing Satellite (GOSAT). In this case, the RemoTeC Full Physics (SRFP) algorithm, jointly developed at SRON and KIT, has been applied to the TANSO-FTS data. A second product, generated using the OCFP (University of Leicester Full Physics) algorithm, is also available.

The data product is stored per day in a single NetCDF file. Retrieval results are provided for the individual GOSAT spatial footprints, no averaging having been applied. The product file contains the key standard products, i.e. the retrieved column averaged dry air mixing ratio XCO2 with bias correction, averaging kernels and quality flags, as well as secondary products specific for the RemoTeC algorithm. For further information, including details of the SRFP algorithm and the TANSO-FTS instrument, please see the associated product user guide (PUG) or the Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document in the documentation section.

The GHG-CCI team encourage all users of their products to register with them to receive information on any updates or issues regarding the data products and to receive notification of new product releases.
