Short summary

We introduce new vertically resolved GOSAT products that better separate locally and remotely influenced CO₂. Current GOSAT column results for CO₂ (XCO₂) are sensitive to fluxes on continental scales, whereas flux estimates from surface and tower measurements are affected by sampling bias and model transport uncertainty. These new GOSAT measurements of boundary layer CO₂ are validated against aircraft and surface observations of CO₂ and are compared to vertically resolved MOPITT CO.
