ULIRS, an optimal estimation retrieval scheme for carbon monoxide using IASI spectral radiances: sensitivity analysis, error budget and simulations

What is it about?

This work describes an optimal estimation retrieval algorithm, for use with radiances measured by the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) onboard the Metop-A satellite.
