CO₂, the greenhouse gas, is the important one of atmospheric trace gases. The accurate observation of CO₂ has great significance for the study of climate warming and global carbon cycle. In this paper, SCIATRAN radiation transfer model is simulated to study the effect of the aerosol parameters to the retrieval precision of XCO₂.The absorption band of CO₂ at 1.61um and O₂-A are selected to analyse the sensitivity of aerosol parameters. The absolute error and relative error about the main aerosol parameters, optical thickness and scattering phase function are analyzed. It provides basis on the effective debugging for the model, plays an important role in the improvement of the precision of XCO₂ retrieval.
