Recently, the Fast atmOspheric traCe gAs retrieval (FOCAL) algorithm has been applied to measurements of the Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite (GOSAT) and its successor GOSAT-2. FOCAL has been originally developed for OCO-2 retrievals with the focus on the derivation of XCO2. However and depending on the available spectral window, FOCAL also retrieves successfully total column amounts for other atmospheric species.
In this presentation we will show recent results from GOSAT and GOSAT-2 FOCAL retrievals for gases other than XCO2, e.g. XCH4, water vapour or CO.
