It 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) using the SRFP (RemoTec) algorithm. It has been generated as part of the European Space Agency (ESA) Greenhouse Gases Climate Change Initiative (GHG_cci). This version of the dataset is v2.3.8 and forms part of the Climate Research Data Package 4. The RemoTeC SRFP baseline algorithm is a Full Physics algorithm. 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 products with and without bias correction. Information relevant for the use of the data is also included in the data file, such as the vertical layering and averaging kernels. Additionally, the parameters retrieved simultaneously with XCH4 are included (e.g. surface albedo), as well as retrieval diagnostics like retrieval errors and the quality of the fit. For further information on the product, including the RemoTeC Full Physics algorithm and the TANSO-FTS instrument please see the Product User Guide (PUG) or the Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document.
