Global column-averaged methane mixing ratios from 2003 to 2009 as derived from SCIAMACHY: Trends and variability

After a decade of stable or slightly decreasing global methane concentrations, ground‐based in situ data show that CH4 began increasing again in 2007 and that this increase continued through 2009. So far, space‐based retrievals sensitive to the lower troposphere in the time period under consideratio...
