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 concentrations from the infrared spectra of the GOSAT/Therimal and near infrared Sensor for Carbon Observation (TANSO)-FTS. Retrieval simulations in which the maximum a posteriori (MAP) method was applied to pseudo-spectra at 700-800 cm(-1) from TANSO-FTS ("CO2 15-mu m band") showed that retrieved CO2 profiles agreed with true CO2 profiles to within the total errors throughout the troposphere above 700-800 hPa when atmospheric conditions such as temperature used in the computation of the spectra were known. In contrast, discrepancies between retrieved CO2 and true CO2 concentrations increased if temperatures used in the retrieval included random errors; a random scatter of +/- 0.5 K caused a discrepancy that was 12 times larger at similar to 750 hPa. However, appropriate channel selection based on CO2 and temperature information could reduce the effect of temperature uncertainty on CO2 retrievals in this spectral region: the discrepancy between retrieved and true concentrations at similar to 750 hPa in the case with channel selection was about one-third of the discrepancy without any channel selection.
