Explainable Comparison of Feature-Based and Deep Learning Models for TROPOMI Methane Plume Screening

Solomiia Kurchaba, Joannes D. Maasakkers, Berend J. Schuit +1

Continuous and global detection of large methane emissions is a crucial step for global warming mitigation. Satellite observations, such as from S5P/TROPOMI, combined with plume de…

Mitigating representation bias caused by missing pixels in methane plume detection

Julia Wąsala, Joannes D. Maasakkers, Ilse Aben +3

Most satellite images have systematically missing pixels (i.e., missing data not at random (MNAR)) due to factors such as clouds. If not addressed, these missing pixels can lead to…

Satellite monitoring of annual US landfill methane emissions and trends

Nicholas Balasus, Daniel J. Jacob, Gabriel Maxemin +7

We use satellite observations of atmospheric methane from the TROPOMI instrument to estimate total annual methane emissions for 2019-2023 from four large Southeast US landfills wit…

Daily detection and quantification of methane leaks using Sentinel-3: a tiered satellite observation approach with Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-5p

Sudhanshu Pandey, Maarten van Nistelrooij, Joannes D. Maasakkers +7

The twin Sentinel-3 satellites have multi-band radiometers which observe in methane-sensitive shortwave infrared bands with daily global coverage and 500 m ground pixel resolution.…

A high-resolution gridded inventory of coal mine methane emissions for India and Australia

Pankaj Sadavarte, Sudhanshu Pandey, Joannes D. Maasakkers +3

Coal mines are globally an important source of methane and also one of the largest point sources of methane. We present a high-resolution 0.1deg x 0.1deg bottom-up gridded emission…

Methane Emissions from Super-emitting Coal Mines in Australia quantified using TROPOMI Satellite Observations

Pankaj Sadavarte, Sudhanshu Pandey, Joannes D. Maasakkers +5

Two years of satellite observations were used to quantify methane emission from coal mines in Queensland, the largest coal-producing state in Australia. The six analyzed surface an…
