Atmospheric spectra to be recorded in the infrared spectral range by a spaceborne Fourier transform spectrometer using a nadir view have been simulated. Relevant spectral domains have been selected for the retrieve of carbon monoxide, methane, ozone and nitrous oxide. A new inversion algorithm using neural networks techniques is proposed to retrieve integrated contents and low resolution vertical profiles.
