Short summary
Stray light is an error source in all optical instruments. In passive remote sensing observations of greenhouse gases, it creates false patterns in gas concentration maps. In this work, the impact of stray light in the full processing chain from measured spectra, retrieved concentration maps, to emission rate estimates using measured and simulated data is analysed for MAMAP2D-Light. Additionally, a hardware improvement mitigates stray light for onward missions.
