Cover Story: The availability of huge datasets of satellite remote sensing measurements has fostered the development of fast, efficient retrieval codes. Deep learning techniques were recently applied to satellite retrievals. Forward models are a fundamental part of retrieval code development and mission design. However, the application of deep learning techniques to radiative transfer simulations is still underexplored. Here, deep learning techniques are applied to the design of the retrieval chain of an upcoming satellite mission, LSTM, a candidate for Sentinel 9: they are used to generate spectral features and analyze simulated observations. The performance of deep learning algorithms shows promising results for the production of both simulated spectra and parameter retrievals, one of the main advances being the reduction in computational costs.View this paper
