Quantification of uncertainties in OCO-2 measurements of XCO<sub>2</sub>: simulations and linear error analysis

We present an analysis of uncertainties in global measurements of the column averaged dry-air mole fraction of CO<sub>2</sub> (XCO<sub>2</sub>) by the NASA Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2). The analysis is based on our best estimates for uncertainties in the OCO-2 operat...
