Methane ( CH 4 ) is a powerful greenhouse gas. Its atmospheric mixing ratios have been increasing since 2005. Therefore, quantification of CH 4 sources is essential for effective climate change mitigation. Here we report observations of the CH 4 mixing ratios measured at the Zeppelin Observatory (Sv...
