Tropospheric CO vertical profiles deduced from total columns using data assimilation: methodology and validation

This paper presents a validation of a method to derive the vertical profile of carbon monoxide (CO) from its total column using data assimilation. We choose version 3 of MOPITT CO total columns to validate the proposed method. MOPITT products have the advantage of providing both the vertical profile...
