The Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite (GOSAT) will be launched in 2008 for global observations of greenhouse gases such as CO2 and methane. This study examines the feasibility of retrieving CO2 vertical profiles from spectra from 700 to 800cm-1 (referred to as “CO2 15-μm band”) of the GOSAT/Thermal And Near infrared Sensor for carbon Observation (TANSO)-FTS band 4. Retrieval simulations in which the non-linear maximum a posteriori (MAP) method was applied to pseudo-spectra at CO2 15-μm band (signal to noise ratio of 300) showed that retrieved CO2 profiles agreed with true CO2 profiles to within ±1% above 800hPa without strongly depending on a priori when atmospheric conditions such as temperature were known. These simulation results confirm the validity of CO2 retrieval at CO2 15-μm band of TANSO-FTS. Differences between retrieved and true CO2 concentrations greatly increased if atmospheric data, especially temperature data, used in the retrieval included some bias and random errors; even 1K bias of temperature yielded as many as 9% bias in retrieved CO2 concentrations. However, treating such uncertainties in atmospheric conditions as part of measurement noise and selecting retrieval channels on the basis of the information contents of CO2 retrieval could reduce the discrepancies between retrieved and true CO2 concentrations; the effect of bias in atmospheric conditions decreased by almost half and that of the random error decreased to be negligible. Furthermore, channel selection could cut the computational cost for the retrieval depending on the number of the selected channels. It depends on seasons and regions how many channels should be selected in the retrieval; therefore, it should be needed to examine the method of the channel selection for each atmospheric condition.
