Waterbodies in the arctic permafrost zone are considered a major source of the greenhouse gas methane (CH4). However, the spatio-temporal variability of CH4 fluxes from waterbodies complicates spatial extrapolation of CH4 measurements at individual waterbodies. Therefore, the contribution of CH4 emi...
