XCH4 Spectrometer L3 Segments and Mosaics
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/640.006

Summary
MethaneAIR is a set of two passive near-IR imaging spectrometers that report
methane (CH4) column mean dry mole fraction that flew aboard the NSF G-V. The
instrument was mounted on the floor, between L2 and R2, and used the fore
nadir viewport. Shutters mounted on each spectrometer were used to perform
on-demand dark calibrations throughout the flight.
