Vast amounts of methane (CH 4 ) stored in permafrost and submarine sediments are susceptible to release in a warming Arctic, further exacerbating climate change in a positive feedback. It is therefore critical to monitor CH 4 over pan-regional scales to detect early signs of CH 4 release. However, o...
