Short summary
Methane plumes can be detected with several instruments from space at a high spatial resolution nowadays. We see a ground projection of these methane plumes from the satellites that, similarly to clouds or buildings, are distorted depending on the observation and illumination angle. Here we highlight this issue and propose a methodology to account for it using simulations that could enhance current and upcoming retrieval and quantification algorithms.
