Usability of optical spectrum analyzer in measuring atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> and CH<sub>4</sub> column densities: inspection with FTS and aircraft profiles in situ

The practical usefulness of a desktop optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) for measuring atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> and CH<sub>4</sub> column densities at surface sites was examined in two separate measurement campaigns. The first comparison involved operating the OSA in parallel...
