TROPESS-CrIS CO single-pixel vertical profiles: intercomparisons with MOPITT and model simulations for 2020 western US wildfires

Ming Luo, Helen M. Worden, Robert D. Field, Kostas Tsigaridis, and Gregory S. Elsaesser

Data sets

TROPESS CrIS-SNPP L2 Carbon Monoxide for Forward Stream, Standard Product V1 Kevin W. Bowman https://doi.org/10.5067/EA7G2TTV84RV

MOPITT Derived CO (Thermal Infrared Radiances) V009 NASA/LARC/SD/ASDC https://doi.org/10.5067/TERRA/MOPITT/MOP02T.009

Short summary

The TROPESS CrIS single-pixel CO profile retrievals are compared to the MOPITT CO products in steps of adjusting them to the common a priori assumptions. The two data sets are found to agree within 5 %. We also demonstrated and analyzed the proper steps in evaluating GISS ModelE CO simulations using satellite CO retrieval products for the western US wildfire events in September 2020.
