ESA Greenhouse Gases Climate Change Initiative (GHG CCI): Column-averaged CO2 from GOSAT generated with the OCFP (UoL-FP) algorithm (CO2_GOS_OCFP), v7.0
The CO2_GOS_OCFP dataset comprises level 2, column-averaged dry-air mole fractions (mixing ratios) of carbon dioxide (XCO2) from the Thermal and Near Infrared Sensor for Carbon Observations (TANSO-FTS) NIR and SWIR spectra, onboard the Japanese Greenhouse gases Observing Satellite (GOSAT). It has been produced using the University of Leicester Full-Physics Retrieval Algorithm, which is based on the original Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO) Full Physics Retrieval Algorithm and modified for use on GOSAT spectra. A second product, generated using the alternative SRFP algorithm, is also available. The OCFP product is considered the GHG_cci baseline product and it is advised that users who aren't sure which of the two products to use, use this product. For more information regarding the differences between baseline and alternative algorithms please see the Greenhouse Gases CCI data products webpage.
The XCO2 product is stored in NetCDF format with all GOSAT soundings on a single day stored in one file. For further information, including details of the OCFP algorithm and the TANSO-FTS instrument, please see the associated product user guide (PUG).
