Airborne Imaging Spectrometer Level 3 Gridded Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/598.012

Summary
Airborne Imaging Spectrometer Level 3 Gridded Data are included in this
dataset for the MethaneAIR (Methane Source Quantification) 2021 Field Project.
Data are included for the 6 research flights: RF04, RF05, RF06, RF07, RF08 and
RF09. This is a large dataset. MethaneAIR measures absorption spectra with
high spectral resolution, fine spatial resolution, wide swath, and high
signal-to-noise ratio, enabling dramatically enhanced images of CH4 column
mean dry mole fraction compared to other airborne or spaceborne imagers.
MethaneAIR duplicates the spectroscopy of the MethaneSAT satellite ("MSAT",
launched in March 2024). Users interested in raw or Level 2 spectrometer data
should contact the project's lead PI.
