  6. How well can we retrieve CO2? - Circa 1990 • Wallace and Livingston’s seminal work on CO2 remote sensing [1990] with the Kitt Peak FTS revealed deficiencies in the CO2 spectral database • (HITRAN 1986). • Insufficient NIR Spectroscopic Reference Standard Accuracy • 1. Incomplete knowledge of spectrum • 2. Inadequate position knowledge • 3. Intensities known to 5 – 20% unc. • 4. Unvalidated air-widths • 5. No pressure shifts Wallace & Livingston, J. Geophys. Res. D 95, 9823 (1990)

  7. Improved Solar Spectra Retrievals circa 2002 • Kitt Peak solar data reanalyzed • Improved retrieval algorithm • Improved HITRAN 2000 database • (HITRAN 1992 + CO2 DND list) • Results • Systematic residuals in spectra • +5.8% biasbetween observed and in situ column amounts • 0.5%precisionincolumn CO2 • "Remaining errors are dominated by deficiencies in the spectroscopic line lists" Yang et al., Geophys. Res. Lett. 29(10) GL014537 (2002)

  8. Ideal 1:1 Line Uncorrected Washenfelder et al. (2006) Park Falls WI The TCCON Prototype • New data acquisition hardware and methodology (based around Bruker 125 HR) • Results • 0.1% XCO2 precision • Systematic residuals persist • +2.12% bias for 30013 • +2.40% bias for 30012 “Systematic differences attributed to known uncertainties in the CO2 line strengths and pressure broadened widths” Washenfelder et al., JGeophys. Res. 111 D22305 (2006)

  11. Improving Laboratory Accuracies Requires Precise Knowledge/Control of the Experimental State • Pristine new cells – no contamination • Temperature monitoring inside the cell • Isotopic enriched samples • Mass spectrometric standard samples • Stable spectrometer performance Four Temp Probes (PRT) going Inside the Cell Goal for Experimental Uncertainties: Pressure:0.01 Torr (if P > 10 Torr) Temperature: 0.1 K Path: 2 mm (0.1%) Composition: 0.05% SNR: >1000 Resolution: 0.011 cm-1 100% Trans:  0.1% 0% Trans:  0.1% Positions:  0.0001 cm-1 Intensity: 0.1% (Relative)

  12. 1. Determining the Complete Spectrum Accurate CO2 remote sensing to 0.3% requires knowledge of all absorption features that contribute to the CO2 absorption spectrum at the level of approximately 0.1% of Imax Examination of the known NIR CO2 features on a LOG scale shows that transitions from many weaker bands contribute detectable absorption to the spectrum Completeness will be a critical requirement for the spectral database Simulations from HITRAN04 Linear Log

  14. Determining the Complete Spectrum: Characterize Isotopologue Transitions In natural CO2 16O12C18O < 0.4 % 18O12C18O < 0.0004 % Note: 628 has 2 x more lines than symmetric isotopologues (626, 828) due to different spin statistical weights. The 2ν3 band of 628 is allowed, but not for 626, 828. Note: These 828 bands are not in HITRAN 2004 626 2ν3 Toth et al., J. Mol.

  30. Accurate remote sensing of CO2 is critical for climate change science CO2 remote sensing poses a significant spectroscopic and algorithm challenge This is NOT YET a solved problem Consideration of strong 16O12C16O (626) transitions alone is insufficient Must include hot bands Must include 16O13C16O (636), 16O12C18O (628), etc Line shape choice is crucial to simulate high quality spectra within their experimental uncertainty Non-Voigt line shapes improve fits 30% - 50% vs Voigt fits Line Mixing is needed to remove systematic residuals Conclusions

  34. 638 Unanticipated Behavior for High-J Transitions High-J transitions may show large (>10-4 cm-1), unexpected deviations from their predicted positions due to • Poor spectroscopic parameter extrapolations • Perturbations not observed at low-J Rare isotopologues and hot bands are especially susceptible to these problems since they are much more difficult to characterize accurately 636 This work – R92 Miller & Brown, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 228, 329 (2004) Miller et al., J. Mol. Spectrosc. 228, 355 (2004) 626
