Description
Remote sensing measurements of column averaged dry mole fractions (DMF) of carbon dioxide (CO2), taken in Alice Springs, Australia. The measurements were taken using a portable spectrometer (Bruker model EM27/SUN, Gisi et al. , 2012). The column abundances were retrieved from solar absorption spectra using the retrieval software GGG2014 (Wunch et al., 2015).
