Short summary
CH4 observations from space are an essential component for improving our estimates of CH4 emissions from fossil fuels and natural sources. We utilized GHGSat, a CH4 plume mapping satellite constellation, to update the fossil fuel emission inventory in the Western Siberian Lowlands to understand how including plume observations in models changes emissions estimates. Our approach resulted in a reduction in CH4 emissions attributed to wetlands.
