Description:
Fast retrievals of tropospheric carbonyl sulfide with IASI R. Anthony Vincent and Anu Dudhia Atmos. Chem. Phys., 17, 2981-3000, doi:10.5194/acp-17-2981-2017, 2017 A fast method to estimate trace gases using the IASI sensor is presented and applied to tropospheric carbonyl sulphide (OCS). This rapid approach neglects non-linear effects, which introduces an 11 % error on average when estimating OCS but is significantly faster than iterative methods. All of the IASI data from 2014 were analysed to show seasonal and spatial trends in OCS. These results were compared to ground samples taken from seven different NOAA sites across the globe.
