Short summary

The primary instrument on the Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite (GOSAT) is the Thermal And Near infrared Sensor for carbon Observations (TANSO) Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS). TANSO-FTS has a thermal infrared channel to retrieve vertical profiles of CO₂ and CH₄ volume mixing ratios in the troposphere. We compare the retrieved vertical profiles of CH₄ from TANSO-FTS with those from two other spaceborne FTSs and with ground-based FTS observatories to assess their quality.
