Comparing Methane Levels from Copernicus, MetOps, and Ground Data: 1 of 2 // Dec 12, 2018

Methane levels are rapidly increasing globally. Methane release in the Arctic from thawing terrestrial and marine permafrost, and from methane clathrates on shallow continental shelves are a huge and ever increasing risk.

I compare and contrast methane observations from satellites (Copernicus and MetOp1) and from

(Copernicus and MetOp1) and from Ground flask measurements to see what is happening now;

to see what is happening now; I chat about the colour legend change for the Copernicus data,

for the Copernicus data, which was offset by 100 ppb, and what that means, and why.

Global Methane Rise Literally Off-the-Charts: 2 of 2 // Dec 12, 2018

The unrelenting increase in global levels of atmospheric methane went literally off-the-charts used to display methane for the Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring Service (CAMS). Methane levels were so high that:

They swamped out the colour scheme used in the map legend,

the colour scheme used in the map legend, Causing saturation in large red blobs with little detail.

in large The colour legend was shifted by 100 ppb to more clearly show the detaile d structure of where methane was being emitted.
