摘要
All measurements of X-CO2 from space have systematic errors. To reduce a large fraction of these errors, a bias correction is applied to X-CO2 retrieved from GOSAT and OCO-2 spectra using the ACOS retrieval algorithm. The bias correction uses, among other parameters, the surface pressure difference between the retrieval and the meteorological reanalysis. Relative errors in the surface pressure estimates, however, propagate nearly 1 V 1 into relative errors in biascorrected X-CO2. For OCO-2, small errors in the knowledge of the pointing of the observatory (up to similar to 130 arcsec) introduce a bias in X-CO2 in regions with rough topography. Erroneous surface pressure estimates are also caused by a coding error in ACOS version 8, sampling meteorological analyses at wrong times ( up to 3 h after the overpass time). Here, we derive new geolocations for OCO-2' s eight footprints and show how using improved knowledge of surface pressure estimates in the bias correction reduces errors in OCO-2' s v9 X-CO2 data.
