A high-accuracy surface modeling (HASM) method based on the fundamental theorem of surfaces, is developed to simulate XCO₂ surfaces using the GOSAT retrieval XCO₂ data. Two tests are designed to investigate the simulation accuracy. The first test divides the existing satellite retrieval XCO₂ data into training points and testing points, and simulates the XCO₂ surface using the training points while computing the simulation error using the testing points. The absolute mean error (MAE) of the testing points is 1.189 ppmv, and the corresponding values of the comparison methods, Ordinary Kriging, IDW, and Spline are 1.203, 1.301, and 1.355 ppmv, respectively. The second test simulates the XCO₂ surface using all the satellite retrieval points and uses the TCCON (Total Carbon Column Observing Network) site observation values as the ture values. For the six typical TCCON sites, the HASM simulation MAE is 1.688 ppmv, and the satellite retrieval MAE at the same sites is 2.147 ppmv. These results indicate that HASM can successfully simulate XCO₂ surfaces based on satellite retrieval data.
