Validation of the satellite data with FTIR observations from all sites (month 36)
Next steps towards a better CH4 retrieval proposed during the 6-months subgroup meeting in May 2007 • Searching for better micro windows (BIRA-IASB) • Testing line parameters measured within UFTIR (ULg) • Laboratory measurements of methane line parameters for the • microwindows of interest (UniKarl-IMK-ASF, UniHB) • Comparison of ECMWF and NCEP data (all FTIR groups)
Todays talks related to the ground-based FTIR measurements • Laboratory measurements of relevant spectral lines for CH4 • (I. Kramer, UniKarl-IMK-ASF) • Intercomparison of different microwindows for the CH4 retrieval • (P. Duchatelet, ULg) • Retrieval of CH4 isotopologues from ground-based solar spectra • (P. Duchatelet, ULg) • Comparison of NCEP and ECMWF temperatures at the Reunion Island, and the impact on CH4 retrievals • (M. de Mazière, BIRA-IASB)
