AB: Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) onboard EOS AQUA platform has capability to retrieve carbon trace gases with particularly distinct signature in the 300-800 hPa region. The current presentation will describe the methodology, limitations and current skills of estimating total column carbon dioxide, profiles of methane and carbon monoxide from AIRS data. Analysis of the preliminary retrieval will be presented with an emphasis to study the diurnal, and zonal variation of these gases over North America and Brazil. A quick look at AIRS CO product shows that it captured some fire signature in September 2002. A brief discussion will be presented comparing the retreived products with other in-situ observation.
