Near-Infrared Lunar Absorption Spectroscopy for the Retrieval of Column Averaged CO2 and CH4 - Towards an Interdisciplinary Approach in Earth System Science - page 82

However, with further averaging of the retrieved total column amounts over a
longer time period, e.g. daily means, we are con dent in gaining information about

the seasonal cycle of the column averaged mole fractions of CO 2 and CH 4 in the

final measurement setup at our site in Ny Å lesund.
