Potential improvements in global carbon flux estimates from a network of laser heterodyne radiometer measurements of column carbon dioxide ...
We present observing system simulation experiments (OSSEs) to evaluate the impact of a proposed network of ground-based miniaturized laser heterodyne radiometer (mini-LHR) instruments that measure atmospheric column-averaged carbon dioxide (XCO2) with a 1 ppm precision. A particular strength of this...
