Impact of temperature field inhomogeneities on the retrieval of atmospheric species from MIPAS IR limb emission spectra

We examine volume mixing ratios (vmr) retrieved from limb emission spectra recorded with the Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS) on board Envisat. In level 2 (L2) data products of three different retrieval processors, which perform one dimensional (1-D) retrievals, we f...
