AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
Several datasets provide information on atmospheric methane concentration (XCH4) using measurements from MethaneAIR and MethaneSAT imaging spectrometers.
-
Datasets are available that provide spatially disaggregated methane emission fluxes from area sources in specific oil and gas producing regions, though these models are still in development.
-
High-emitting methane point source detections and emissions data are provided for various oil, gas, and coal extraction areas, as well as urban areas.
-
A global database exists that maps the locations of oil and gas-related infrastructure.

MethaneAIR L3 Concentration v1
This dataset provides geospatial data for the total column dry air mole fraction of methane in the atmosphere, "XCH4", as observed by the MethaneAIR imaging spectrometer. XCH4 is defined as the total column amount (number of molecules) of methane ("CH4") divided by the total amount … atmosphere climate edf emissions ghg methane -
MethaneAIR L4 Area Sources v1
The area emissions model is still in development and not representative of a final product. This dataset provides spatially disaggregated methane emission fluxes (kg/hr) using measurements from MethaneAIR flights focused on oil and gas producing regions throughout the United States. Total emissions for the survey … atmosphere climate edf emissions ghg methane -
MethaneAIR L4 Point Sources v1
This dataset provides data for high-emitting methane point source detections (kg/hr) over 13 oil and gas or coal extraction areas from Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas in the west to Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia in the east, plus three urban areas (New York City, … atmosphere climate edf emissions ghg methane -
