However, the spatial and temporal pattern of the CO2 emission and its flux dependence on daily human activity processes are not yet well understood. One of the limiting factors could be attributed to the low revisit time frequency of the polar orbiting satellites. With high revisiting frequency and CO2-sensitive spectrum, the Geostationary Interferometric Infrared Sounder (GIIRS) onboard the Chinese FY-4A and FY-4B satellites have the potential to measure the CO2 concentration at a higher temporal frequency than polar-orbiting satellites. To provide a prototypical demonstration on the CO2 monitoring capability using GIIRS observations, a hybrid-3D variational data assimilation system is established in this research and a one-month-long experiment is conducted. The evaluations against the Goddard Earth Observing System version 5 (GEOS-5) analysis field and Orbiting Carbon Observatory -2\/-3 (OCO-2\/-3) CO2 retrieval products reveal that assimilating GIIRS observations can reduce the first guess\u2019s CO2 concentration mean bias and standard deviation, especially over the lower troposphere (975\u2013750 hPa) and improve the diurnal variation of near surface CO2 concentration.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15040886","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,6]],"date-time":"2023-02-06T05:29:05Z","timestamp":1675661345000},"page":"886","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["The Potential of Monitoring Carbon Dioxide Emission in a Geostationary View with the GIIRS Meteorological Hyperspectral Infrared Sounder"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3723-222X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qi","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Space Science and Engineering Center, University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1225 W.
