The inherent uncertainties of input parameters in satellite may affect the inversion accuracy of the column-averaged dryair mole fractions of carbon dioxide (XCO2). Regarding the design specifications of the next-generation carbon satellite (Tansat-2), a sensitivity analysis is conducted on seven input parameters that may affect the XCO2 inversion. The paper employs the SCIATRAN model to retrieve XCO2 from short-wave infrared spectra with central the wavelengths at 0.76 μm and 1.61 μm. The results indicate that, considering the uncertainties in measuring these parameters, the parameters influencing XCO2 inversion are ranked in the following order: the pressure, oxygen, temperature, water vapor, surface elevation, surface albedo, and ozone. To achieve the XCO2 inversion accuracy within the range of 0.3%-0.5%, it is necessary to ensure the temperature uncertainty of approximately 0.4 K-0.8 K, the pressure uncertainty of approximately 0.2%-0.4%, the water vapor uncertainty of approximately 7%-14%, the oxygen uncertainty of approximately 0.25%- 0.5%, along with the surface albedo uncertainty of approximately 0.2-0.4, and the surface elevation uncertainty of approximately 22.5 m-45 m.
