Research abstract
Methane is considered the second most important greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. The relatively short lifetime makes it a candidate for mitigating global warming over the near-term. Highly sensitive measurement equipment is required to measure the low atmospheric concentrations with sufficient precision. Comprehensive studies of global warming require this gas to be monitored continuously to unravel its contribution to Earth
