To evaluate the effectiveness of our correction method, uncorrected/corrected GOSAT data are compared to independent XCO 2 and XCH 4 data derived from aircraft measurements. Consequently, we suggest that this method is effective for reducing the biases of the GOSAT data. We consider that our work provides GOSAT data users with valuable information and contributes to the further development of studies on greenhouse gases.
