Kumpulan data ini menyediakan data geospasial untuk fraksi mol udara kering kolom total metana di atmosfer, "XCH4", sebagaimana diamati oleh spektrometer pencitraan MethaneAIR. XCH4 didefinisikan sebagai jumlah total kolom (jumlah molekul) metana ("CH4") dibagi dengan jumlah total udara (jumlah molekul, jumlah uap air yang dihilangkan) di sepanjang garis pandang dari spektrometer di udara ke permukaan bumi dan kembali ke matahari.
Lapisan data tambahan disediakan sebagai referensi: albedo yang diamati pada 1.622 nm, tekanan permukaan, dan ketinggian medan.
Metana adalah gas rumah kaca yang kuat dan memiliki potensi pemanasan lebih dari 80 kali lipat karbon dioksida selama 20 tahun pertama setelah mencapai atmosfer. Setidaknya 30% pemanasan global saat ini disebabkan oleh metana dari tindakan manusia.
Mengurangi emisi metana yang terkait dengan aktivitas manusia - termasuk emisi yang dapat dihindari dari operasi minyak dan gas, pertanian, dan pengelolaan limbah - adalah cara tercepat untuk memperlambat laju pemanasan global.
Pesawat terbang pada ketinggian 11,5 - 13 km (37.000 - 43.000 kaki),
mengambil 10 frame per detik dengan lebar 4,5 - 4,8 km dengan bidang pandang 25 derajat dan 896 piksel di seluruh jalur, sehingga memberikan ukuran piksel asli di nadir sekitar 25 m di sepanjang jalur dan 5 m di seluruh jalur. Data
spektroskopi dikelompokkan berdasarkan 5 di seluruh jalur, sehingga memberikan ukuran piksel rata-rata 25 m x 25 m. Konsentrasi (XCH4) diambil dari spektrum beresolusi tinggi (pengambilan sampel 0,1 nm, resolusi 0,3 nm) yang didistribusikan secara spasial (Chan Miller et al. (2024)), lalu di-grid pada grid 0,0001 x 0,0001 derajat (kira-kira 10 m x 8 m di atas AS). Presisi data yang dikotak-kotakkan adalah sekitar 25 bagian per miliar (1s, sekitar 1,3%), dan panjang korelasi spasial (1/e) sekitar 70 m. Ada beberapa variasi dari penerbangan ke penerbangan sesuai dengan kondisi pengoperasian, sudut pandang, dan albedo permukaan.
Pola penerbangan biasanya berupa serangkaian jalur berbentuk oval dalam pola Zamboni untuk mencakup suatu wilayah, biasanya sekitar 70 km x 100 km, selama interval 2 - 3 jam. Data yang disajikan di sini dirata-ratakan jika jalur penerbangan tumpang-tindih, biasanya di tepi setiap jalur dan di urn di bagian atas dan bawah pola Zamboni.
Set data ini dibuat menggunakan pengukuran MethaneAIR yang dilakukan pada penerbangan
antara 30 Juli 2021 dan 13 Oktober 2023. MethaneAIR adalah pendahulu udara dari misi satelit MethaneSAT, yang dikelola oleh MethaneSAT LLC, anak perusahaan yang dimiliki sepenuhnya oleh Environmental Defense Fund. Fluks emisi metana dihasilkan menggunakan framework pemodelan invers geostatistik pada setiap area yang dilalui Zamboni ini.

XCH4 is defined as the total column amount (number of\nmolecules) of methane (\"CH4\") divided by the total amount of air (number of\nmolecules, water vapor amount removed) along the line of sight from the\nairborne spectrometer to the earth's surface and back up to the sun.\nAdditional data layers are provided for reference: observed albedo at 1622\nnm, surface pressure, and terrain height.\n\nMethane is a potent greenhouse gas that has more than 80 times the warming power\nof carbon dioxide over the first 20 years after it reaches the atmosphere. At\nleast 30% of today's global warming is driven by methane from human actions.\nCutting methane emissions associated with human activities - including avoidable\nemissions from oil and gas operations, agriculture, and waste management - is\nthe single fastest way to slow the rate of global warming.\n\nThe aircraft was flown at 11.5 - 13 km altitude (37,000 - 43,000 feet),\nacquiring 10 frames per second with a swath of 4.5 - 4.8 km with a 25 degree\nfield of view and 896 pixels across track, giving a native pixel size at\nnadir of approximately 25m along track and 5 m across track. The\nspectroscopic data are aggregated by 5 across track, giving a mean pixel\nsize of 25m x 25m. Concentrations (XCH4) are retrieved from these high\nresolution (0.1 nm sampling, 0.3nm resolution), spatially distributed\nspectra ([Chan Miller et al. (2024)](https://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-2023-1962)),\nthen gridded on a 0.0001 x 0.0001 degree grid (approximately 10m x 8m over\nthe US). The precision of the gridded data is approximately 25 parts per\nbillion (1s, about 1.3%), and a spatial correlation length (1/e) of about\n70m. There are some variations from flight-to-flight according to operating\nconditions, look angle and surface albedo.\n\nThe flight pattern was typically a series of oval swaths in a Zamboni\npattern to cover a region, typically about 70 km x 100 km, over a 2 - 3 hour\ninterval. The data presented here are averaged where flight tracks overlap,\ntypically at the edges of each swath and in the urns at the top and bottom\nof the Zamboni pattern.\n\nThis dataset was generated using MethaneAIR measurements taken on flights\nbetween 30 July 2021 and 13 October 2023. MethaneAIR is an airborne precursor of\nthe MethaneSAT satellite mission, managed by [MethaneSAT LLC](https://www.methanesat.org/),\na wholly owned subsidiary of Environmental Defense Fund. Methane emission fluxes were produced using a geostatistical inverse\nmodeling framework on each of these Zamboni swaths.\n\nFor additional information about the MethaneAIR instrument, instrument\ncalibration and emission detections, please refer to recent publications by\n[Loughner et al.
