Results suggest that even the observed short - term temperature sensitivity from the Arctic will have little impact on the global
atmospheric methane budget.
«Such information may not only be relevant for
atmospheric methane budget studies but may also be important for understanding the leaking potential of petroleum systems, whether they are commercial or not.»

This paper «is timely and an important step forward in understanding changes in the global
methane budget,» says Isobel Simpson, an
atmospheric chemist at the University of California, Irvine, who was not involved in the study.
First estimates of ESAS
methane emissions indicated the current
atmospheric budget, which arises from gradual diffusion and ebullition, was on par with estimates of
methane emissions from the entire World Ocean (≈ 8 Tg - CH4).
As Steve mentioned in his e-mail, our ability to measure
atmospheric methane has been subject to tight
budget constraints for many years.
Alaska Arctic Tundra CH4 Flux Study — Impacts of AGW / CC Published 8 - Jan 2018 Estimating regional - scale
methane flux and
budgets using CARVE aircraft measurements over Alaska Conclusions Analysis of CH4 column enhancements supplemented by simulated
atmospheric transport allowed us to estimate the monthly - mean CH4 fluxes from our study domain (50 — 75 N, 130 — 170 W).
In the short - term, a key issue that needs resolving is the mismatch between global
methane budgets from top - down (derived from
atmospheric measurements) and bottom - up (derived from measurements of
methane emissions at the land surface from different
methane producing environments) approaches.
