Short summary

Here we report on measurements made with an improved CO₂ Sounder lidar during the ASCENDS 2014 and 2016 airborne campaigns. The results from the 2016 airborne lidar retrievals show precisions of ~ 0.8 parts per million (ppm) with 1 s averaging over desert surfaces. The results from both campaigns showed the mean values of XCO₂ retrieved from the lidar consistently agreed with those based on the in situ sensor to within 1 ppm.
