Using data from an instrument designed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, the nonprofit organization Carbon Mapper has published the first detections of methane and carbon dioxide from the Tanager-1 satellite. The detections highlight methane plumes in Pakistan and Texas, as well as carbon dioxide plumes in South Africa.
The data contributes to Carbon Mapper's goal to identify and measure greenhouse gas emissions from point sources on a global scale and to make this information available and accessible. (More on jpl.nasa.gov)
