Quantifying the Impact of Environmental Factors on the Methane Point-Source Emission Algorithm by Zixuan Wang, Linxin Wang, Ding Li, Lingjing Yang, Lixue Cao, Qin He, Kai Qin

“…This contrast makes it impossible to effectively extract CH₄ signals when the reflectance difference reaches 0.2. (5) Under harsh conditions, where multiple parameters are present (AOD = 0.2, albedo = 0.2, aerosol layer height (ALH) = 2), the MF method is still able to detect CH₄ emissions, but with a significant error of 74.65%. (6) External environmental variables, particularly atmospheric pressure and water vapor content, significantly influence the inversion accuracy of methane (CH₄) concentrations. …”
