From: Evaluation of a method to retrieve temperature and wind velocity profiles of the Venusian nightside mesosphere from mid-infrared CO2 absorption line observed by heterodyne spectroscopy

Fig. 6

Temperature profiles retrieved from the model spectra shown in Fig. 5. In the right panels of a and b, blue, red and black lines represent the retrieved, model, and a priori (VIRAex) profiles, respectively. Blue horizontal lines are the retrieval errors calculated using Eq. 1. Left panels of a and b show the averaging kernels (AKs). The peaks of AKs are the sensitive altitudes, and full-widths at half-maximum are their vertical resolutions
