Airborne Imaging Spectrometer Level 3 Gridded Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/624.010

Summary
Airborne Imaging Spectrometer Level 3 Gridded Data are included in this
dataset for the MAIR-E (Methane Source Quantification/MethaneAIR Extended
Mission) 2022 Field Project. Data are included for the 4 research flights:
RF01E, RF02E, RF03E, and RF04E. 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. MAIR 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.
