Sentinel-5P detected methane plumes

Global overview showing the location and magnitude of all 2974 methane super-emitter plumes detected in 2021 using the Copernicus Sentinel-5P Tropomi instrument.

The Tropomi instrument onboard the Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite is the only satellite instrument that produces a global map of methane concentrations every day. Today, researchers from SRON Netherlands Institute for Space Research have announced a new algorithm that automatically discovers methane super-emitter plumes in Sentinel-5P data using machine learning.
