Short summary
Remote sensing of greenhouse gases (GHG) such as CO2 and CH4 in the atmosphere from space is important for studying emissions and the carbon cycle. Present-day techniques measure the absorption of light passing through the atmosphere and determine the column-averaged gas concentration in the atmosphere. Here, we draw from a well-known singular value decomposition (SVD) framework to develop a technique of extracting information about the GHG concentration profile from the column absorption.
Remote sensing of greenhouse gases (GHG) such as CO2 and CH4 in the atmosphere from space is...
