On global estimates of monthly methane flux based on
observational data acquired by the Greenhouse gases
Observing SATellite "IBUKI" (GOSAT)

The Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite "IBUKI" (GOSAT), developed jointly by the Ministry of the Environment (MOE), the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES), Japan, and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) (hereafter the "Three Parties") is the world's first and only satellite designed specifically to monitor greenhouse gases from space. The satellite has continued to successfully fulfill its main function in monitoring atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄) concentrations from space since it was first launched on January 23, 2009.

Global estimates of the monthly and regional net fluxes of methane (emission and absorption aggregates) were generated for the two years from June 2009 to May 2011, based on both observational data acquired by "IBUKI", and ground-based measurements.
