The article discusses the calibration of the Total Carbon Column Observing Network (TCCON) with World Meteorological Organization (WMO)-scale aircraft profile data. It notes that the TCCON develops accurate measurements of the column average dry-air mole fractions of chemical elements and gases in different sites worldwide. It mentions the consistency of the calibration curves shown between the different TCCON sites which can be described by a single calibration factor for each molecule.
