The Total Carbon Observing Network (TCCON) is a global network of ground-based Fourier Transform Spectrometers recording direct solar spectra in the near-infrared (NIR) spectral region. Accurate and precise columnaveraged abundances of different greenhouse gases (GHGs) are retrieved, which are used for carbon cycle research [1] and for satellite validation (e.g. SCIAMACHY, GOSAT, OCOII). Official TCCON data are generated using the GFIT code compared FTIR retrieval results with in-situ measurements developed at NASA/JPL [2]. In this study, we compare FTIR retrieval results with in-situ measurements as well as the GFIT code with the radiative transfer and retrieval algorithm PROFFIT [3].
