Short summary
This work presents a new iterative method for optimally selecting a vertical retrieval grid based on the location of information while accounting for inter-level correlations. Sample atmospheres initially created to parametrise the RTTOV forward model are used to compare the presented iterative vertical selection method with two other common approaches. The iterative method is shown to outperform the other methods in terms of degrees of freedom, but at the expense of simplicity.
