This dataset contains concentrations of methane, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and carbon monoxide measured using an Ecotech Spectronus FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectrometer) in Glatton, Cambridgeshire. The instrument operated from October 2014 to April 2016 in the tower of St Nicholas Church, Glatton. The church is located at 52.461N, 0.304W, and the inlet was located 20m above the ground. This data was collected as part of the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) Greenhouse gAs Uk and Global Emissions (GAUGE) project. The GAUGE project aimed to determine the magnitude, spatial distribution, and uncertainties of the UK's Greenhouse Gas budget using new and existing measurement networks and modelling approaches at a range of scales.

This product is the column-average dry-air mole fraction of atmospheric methane, denoted XCH4. It has been retrieved from radiance measurements from the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) on the Sentinel-5 Precursor satellite in the 2.3 µm spectral range of the solar spectral range, using the Weighting Function Modified Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (WFM-DOAS or WFMD) retrieval algorithm. This dataset is also referred to as CH4_S5P_WFMD. This version of the product is version 1.2, and covers the period from November 2017 - July 2020. The WFMD algorithm is based on iteratively fitting a simulated radiance spectrum to the measured spectrum using a least-squares method. The algorithm is very fast as it is based on a radiative transfer model based look-up table scheme. The product is limited to cloud-free scenes on the Earth's day side. These data were produced as part of the European Space Agency's (ESA) Greenhouse Gases (GHG) Climate Change Initiative (CCI) project.

This dataset contains concentrations of methane, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and carbon monoxide measured using an Ecotech Spectronus FTIR (Fourier transform infrared) spectrometer. The instrument operated from 7 August 2014 to 15 August 2014 on a landfill site near Great Blakenham, Suffolk. The measurement site was located at 52.112N, 1.082E, and the inlet was located 2m above the ground.
