Strategy for high-accuracy-and-precision retrieval of atmospheric methane from the mid-infrared FTIR network

We present a strategy (MIR-GBM v1.0) for the retrieval of column-averaged dry-air mole fractions of methane (XCH<sub>4</sub>) with a precision <0.3% (1-σ diurnal variation, 7-min integration) and a seasonal bias <0.14% from mid-infrared ground-based solar FT...
