27 A case study on the use of Methane data 3. Analysis * The XCH 4 SCIAMACHY data appearing on the 4 figures have been scaled by 1.02 as discussed in Schneising et al., 2009

28 A case study on the use of Methane data 3. Analysis 1.The good agreement between the satellite and ground observations is probably due to the high altitude of the station. 2. According to Xiong et al., 2009 the (August-September) AIRS peak is connected to methane transport to the upper troposphere from the monsoon-Tibetan anticyclone system. 3. According to Xiong et al., 2009 the decrease of AIRS vmr thereafter is connected to the withdrawal of the monsoon and the dissipation of the Tibetan anticyclone. 4.The good agreement between SCIAMACHY and AIRS observations could be indicative of the transport of methane to the upper troposphere.

29 A case study on the use of Methane data 3. Analysis The good agreement between SCIAMACHY and AIRS observations could be indicative of the transport of methane to the upper troposphere in the region around the Tibetan Plateau.

30 Discussion: We are willing to make an interface so as the users can select the time period and the product in order to download many files in one go.We are willing to make an interface so as the users can select the time period and the product in order to download many files in one go.
