Comparisons of Atmospheric Measurement Instruments to Enable Urban Methane Research
AC4-supported research team provides an essential evaluation of laser-based analyzing instruments needed to investigate sources and impacts of atmospheric methane emissions in cities affected by COVID-19 shutdowns.
New study on anthropogenic methane emissions in the US
The National Academies recently began a new study, largely sponsored by CPO’s Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Cycle, and Climate (AC4) program, to improve tracking of human-caused methane emissions in the US and eventually develop better methane reduction strategies.
NOAA-NASA study quantifies methane leakages in Four Corners area
A recently published study by the CPO’s Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Cycle, and Climate (AC4) program details research that used in situ measurements to quantify methane emissions from various sources in the Four Corners area.
NOAA and partners report the largest methane leak in U.S. history in a joint study
A joint-study conducted between NOAA and other partners reports that the Aliso Canyon natural gas leak in Los Angeles, California produced the largest methane leak in U.S. history.
Direct measurements of methane emissions from abandoned oil and gas wells in Pennsylvania
New research supported by the Climate Program Office’s Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Cycle, & Climate (AC4) program was published online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science on Dec. 8, 2014.
CarbonTracker-CH4: An assimilation system for estimating emissions of atmospheric methane
CarbonTracker methane, an off-shoot of NOAA’s highly successful CarbonTracker, which was partially funded by CPO’s AC4 program, has earned peer-reviewed status with a recent paper in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics.
