Retrieval of tropospheric column-averaged CH<sub>4</sub> mole fraction by solar absorption FTIR-spectrometry using N<sub>2</sub>O as a proxy

Tropospheric column-averaged CH<sub>4</sub> mole fractions were derived from ground-based column absorption measurements. The method uses stratospheric N<sub>2</sub>O columns to correct for the stratospheric contribution to the CH<sub>4</sub> total column. The met...
