Copernicus Atmosphere Service delayed-mode satellite retrieval of methane from SCIAMACHY

Abstract:
This service provides pre-operational monthly mean maps of column-averaged methane mixing ratios retrieved from SCIAMACHY onboard ENVISAT using the IMAP algorithm version 6.0. The IMAP algorithm uses the proxy method to account for lightpath modifications. To this end, CH4 is retrieved simultaneously with carbon dioxide (CO2) and their ratio is multiplied with modelled CO2 fields from CarbonTracker. The data is avaialble on a 2 x 2 degree grid.
