TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the discovery of an anomalously large, persistent methane source (10−43 metric tons per hour, detected in over 50% of observations) at a gas compressor station in Central Asia, together with additional sources (4−32 metric ton per hour) nearby, and estimated that these sources released 142 ± 34 metric kilotons of methane to the atmosphere from February 2018 through January 2019, comparable to the 4-month total emission from the well-documented Aliso Canyon blowout.

TL;DR: In this paper, a global inverse analysis of satellite observations of atmospheric methane columns from the GOSAT satellite instrument was used to improve greenhouse gas emissions and their trends over the period, as well as the global concentration of tropospheric OH (the hydroxyl radical, methane's main sink) and its trend.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a global inventory of methane emissions from oil, gas, and coal exploitation that is at 0.1 ∘ × 0. 1 ∘ resolution and resolves the subsectors of oil and gas exploitation.

TL;DR: This article conducted a global inverse analysis of 2010-2018 GOSAT observations to better understand the factors controlling atmospheric methane and its accelerating increase over the 2010 -2018 period, and showed large 2010−2018 increases in anthropogenic methane emissions over South Asia, tropical Africa, and Brazil, coincident with rapidly growing livestock populations in these regions.

TL;DR: In this article, satellite and in-situ observations of atmospheric methane in a joint global inversion of methane sources, sinks, and trends for the 2010-2017 period were used.
