Abstract. The Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer (GEMS) aboard the GEO-KOMPSAT-2B satellite is the first geostationary satellite launched to monitor the environment. GEMS conducts hourly measurements during the day over East and Southeast Asia. This work presents glyoxal (CHOCHO) vertical column densities (VCDs) retrieved from GEMS, with optimal settings for glyoxal retrieval based on sensitivity tests involving reference spectrum sampling and fitting window selection. We evaluated GEMS glyoxal VCDs by comparing them to TROPOMI and MAX-DOAS ground-based observations. On average, GEMS and TROPOMI VCDs show a spatial correlation coefficient of 0.63, increasing to 0.87 for Northeast Asia. While GEMS and TROPOMI demonstrate similar monthly variations in the Indochinese peninsula regions (R > 0.67), variations differ in other areas. Specifically, GEMS VCDs are lower in the summer and higher in the winter than TROPOMI VCDs in Northeast Asia, potentially due to a polluted reference spectrum and high NO2 concentrations. This trend also occurs in comparing monthly variations between GEMS and MAX-DOAS VCDs. When averaged hourly, GEMS and MAX-DOAS VCDs exhibit similar diurnal variations, especially at stations in Japan (Chiba, Kasuga, and Fukue).
