Short summary
In this investigation we analyze two common optical configurations to retrieve CO2 total column amounts from solar absorption infrared spectra. The noise errors using either a KBr or CaF2 beam splitter, a main component of a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, are quantified in order to assess the relative precisions of the measurements. A 3-year XCO2 time series at the high-altitude site of Altzomoni in central Mexico presents clear annual and diurnal cycles and a trend of +2.2 ppm yr-1.
