Abstract

The feasibility of developing a technique for retrieving the relative content 13CO2/12CO2 in the atmosphere as a result of solving the inverse problem of satellite sounding of the atmosphere with IASI spectrometers in the thermal infrared region has been studied. Synthetic spectra with resolution and noise level characteristic of an improved version of the IASI-NG spectrometer were used in a model experiment. It is shown in computational experiments that the vertical profiles of the 13CO2 concentration and the relative 13CO2/12CO2 content in the atmosphere are quite satisfactorily retrieved in the troposphere for the altitude range 2–11 km, which seems promising for future use of the technique suggested.
