Ability of the 4-D-Var analysis of the GOSAT BESD XCO<sub>2</sub> retrievals to characterize atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> at large and synoptic scales

This study presents results from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) analysis system where the atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> is controlled through the assimilation of column-averaged dry-air mole fractions of CO<su...
