Satellites orbiting Earth are providing data to precisely point scientists, companies and governments to sources of methane — a strong greenhouse gas.
researchers used data from the TROPOMI instrument on an ESA satellite and from emissions monitoring company GHGSat to spot methane-emitting sites.
The effect of reducing methane emissions isn't limited to mitigating climate change, he says, adding it reduces the risk of fire, air pollutants and odors that can have health effects on people nearby. About 1,200 parallel imaging spectrometers on EMIT collect 300,000 light absorption patterns of minerals as well as gases in the atmosphere, including methane — per second.
