Short summary
The Geostationary Fourier Transform Spectrometer (GeoFTS) is designed to measure high-resolution spectra of reflected sunlight in near-infrared bands and to deliver simultaneous retrievals of column-averaged dry air mole fractions of CO2, CH4, CO, and H2O at different times of day. We perform radiative transfer simulations over both clear-sky and all-sky scenes and estimate the prospective performance of retrievals based on results from Bayesian error analysis and characterization.
