Characterization of Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) CO<sub>2</sub> for carbon cycle science

We present carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) estimates from the Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) on the EOS-Aura satellite launched in 2004. For observations between 40° S and 45° N, we find about 1 degree of freedom with peak sensitivity at 511 hPa. The estimated error is ~10 ppm...
