A joint effort to deliver satellite retrieved atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> concentrations for surface flux inversions: the ensemble median algorithm EMMA

We analyze an ensemble of seven XCO<sub>2</sub> retrieval algorithms for SCIAMACHY (scanning imaging absorption spectrometer of atmospheric chartography) and GOSAT (greenhouse gases observing satellite). The ensemble spread can be interpreted as regional uncertainty and can help to ide...
