Methane
1 reportMethane is a climate phenomenon expressed through circulation, temperature, precipitation, feedbacks, and regional connections. Evidence comes from temperature anomaly, regional teleconnection, and climate driver, and competing models remain viable when observations are sparse or indirect.
Reporting makes sense of Methane by comparing measurement networks, while also considering budget uncertainty and atmospheric concentrations. For questions involving budget uncertainty, the account uses reanalysis products as the measured record and independent climate models to expose uncertainty; the account does not overlook that short records, natural variability, and scenario assumptions can widen uncertainty.

NASA Aircraft Will Track Farm Pollution Over Colorado
NASA's FarmFlux airborne campaign is planned to begin with low-altitude flights over Colorado farmland in fall 2026, measuring methane, ozone, ammonia, particulates and other pollutants while tracing nitrogen exchange between agricultural systems and the atmosphere.
