Impacts of updated spectroscopy on thermal infrared retrievals of methane evaluated with HIPPO data

Errors in the spectroscopic parameters used in the forward radiative transfer model can introduce spatially, temporally, and altitude-dependent biases in trace gas retrievals. For well-mixed trace gases such as methane, where the variability of tropospheric mixing ratios is relatively small, reducin...
