A method for improved SCIAMACHY CO<sub>2</sub> retrieval in the presence of optically thin clouds

An optimal estimation based retrieval scheme for satellite based retrievals of XCO<sub>2</sub> (the dry air column averaged mixing ratio of atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub>) is presented enabling accurate retrievals also in the presence of thin clouds. The...
