Fourier transform spectrometers (FTS) onboard GOSAT (launched in 2009) and GOSAT-2 (launched in 2018) have been observing the Earth's atmosphere in the short wavelength infrared region for about 12 and 2 years respectively. The column-averaged dry-air mole fractions of CO2 (XCO2) and CH4 (XCH4) were calculated from these FTS data and distributed to general public from GOSAT Data Archive Service (https://data2.gosat.nies.go.jp/index_en.html) and GOSAT-2 Product Archive (https://prdct.gosat-2.nies.go.jp/en/index.html) as GOSAT and GOSAT-2 Level 2 standard products. Their latest versions are V02.90/V02.91 and V02.95/V02.96 (bias corrected) for GOSAT and V01.03 (proxy) and V01.04 (full physics) for GOSAT-2, respectively.
It is already found that the current GOSAT-2 full physics XCO2 and XCH4 products have significant biases which are spatially and temporally variable. To investigate such characteristics of GOSAT-2 data, following comparisons are being conducted.
(1) Comparison between GOSAT-2 Level 2 products and ground-based data
(2) Comparison between GOSAT and GOSAT-2 Level 2 products
(3) Comparison of whole-atmosphere monthly mean CO2 and CH4 concentrations derived from GOSAT and GOSAT-2 L2 products independently.
Comparison results and suggestions for future product improvements will be discussed in the presentation.
