چکیده
Response 4: The introduction will be changed to contain: Sussmann et al. 2013 did a similar study on the inter-comparison of methane from MIR and NIR retrievals. They used a Tikhonov-L1 regularized profile retrieval scheme with the standard NDACC retrieval package SFIT2 for the MIR and the standard TCCON retrieval (GFIT) for the NIR spectra. They conclude that the obtainable information from the retrieval is significantly different between MIR and NIR retrievals, which leads to different seasonal variations.

This paper examines the sensitivity and results for a new product, CO2, from existing data from solar-observing Fourier Transform InfraRed (FTIR) spectrometer at NyÅlesund, Spitsbergen. This instrument is part of a world-wide Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change (NDACC), which has collected data since 1978. The sensitivity and results are compared to a newer network desig...

متن کاملQuality assessment of ozone total column amounts as monitored by ground-based solar absorption spectrometry in the near infrared (> 3000 cm−1)
This study examines the possibility of groundbased remote-sensing ozone total column amounts (OTC) from spectral signatures at 3040 and 4030 cm−1. These spectral regions are routinely measured by the NDACC (Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change) ground-based FTIR (Fourier transform infraRed) experiments. In addition, they are potentially detectable by the TCCON (Total Carb...

This paper forms an important contribution for such studies. While so far most remote sensing observations are performed in the near-infrared spectral region, organize in TCCON, this paper presents observations in the mid-infrared, organized in the NDACC. Since most NDACC observations cover a longer-time span, it makes sense to perform such studies also in the mid-infrared. This holds especiall...
