Understanding, quantifying, and tracking atmospheric methane and
emissions is essential for addressing concerns and informing
decisions that affect the climate, economy, and human health and
safety. Atmospheric methane is a potent greenhouse gas (GHG) that
contributes to global warming. While carbon dioxide is by far the
dominant cause of the rise in global average temperatures, methane
also plays a significant role because it absorbs more energy per
unit mass than carbon dioxide does, giving it a disproportionately
large effect on global radiative forcing. In addition to
contributing to climate change, methane also affects human health
as a precursor to ozone pollution in the lower atmosphere.
Improving Characterization of Anthropogenic Methane Emissions in
the United States summarizes the current state of understanding of
methane emissions sources and the measurement approaches and
evaluates opportunities for methodological and inventory
development improvements. This report will inform future research
agendas of various U.S. agencies, including NOAA, the EPA, the DOE,
NASA, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the National
Science Foundation (NSF). Table of Contents Front Matter Summary 1
