Abstract: The article presents a study which measures ground-based high-resolution fourier transform spectrometers through carbon dioxide and methane aircraft measurements. The study also compares the aforementioned measurements to Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite (GOSAT) data measurement. It also gives details of the measurement instruments onboard the aircraft and ground sites.
