Short summary
Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, but monitoring it in tropical regions is difficult due to clouds and air pollution. We explore a new high-resolution satellite mission concept that could see between clouds and improve observations over tropical Africa. Using simulations with cloud and aerosol data, we show that this satellite could provide much more complete and reliable measurements, helping to better estimate methane emissions and support global climate monitoring efforts.
