Short summary
We measured carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄) over South India using a ground-based spectrometer and compared the results with satellite data from GOSAT (Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite; Japan) and OCO-2 (Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2; NASA, USA). The satellite data have good accuracy and precision for estimating emissions. A computer model showed that changes in methane levels are influenced more by background levels than by local sources.
