WHAT IS CARBON MAPPER?
HOW IS CARBON MAPPER’S APPROACH DIFFERENT FROM PAST OR CURRENT EFFORTS TO DETECT AND ACT ON EMISSIONS?
HOW WILL CARBON MAPPER DATA ACTUALLY TRANSLATE TO EMISSION REDUCTIONS?
HOW IS THE CARBON MAPPER PROGRAM DIFFERENT FROM OTHER METHANE MONITORING SATELLITES?
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CARBON MAPPER AND METHANESAT SATELLITES?
WHY FOCUS ON METHANE
WHAT ABOUT OTHER GASES?
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES AMONG METHANE GAS CONCENTRATIONS, ENHANCEMENTS, AND EMISSIONS?
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF METHANE EMISSIONS?
HOW STEADY OR PERSISTENT ARE METHANE EMISSIONS?
WHAT ARE SOME GENERAL FINDINGS FROM REGIONAL METHANE SURVEYS?
ARE FACILITY OPERATORS USING THE DATA TO REPAIR LEAKS?
WHAT AM I SEEING WITH THE CARBON MAPPER DATA PORTAL?
CAN I DOWNLOAD THE DATA? DOES CARBON MAPPER CHARGE FOR ITS DATA?
WHERE CAN I FIND MORE INFORMATION ON THE METHODS USED TO GENERATE THE DATA
HOW SHOULD I CITE THE CARBON MAPPER DATA?
IS THIS REAL-TIME DATA?
WHAT MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS WERE USED TO PRODUCE THESE DATA SETS?
WHY DO SOME AREAS SHOW MORE EMISSION SOURCES THAN OTHERS?
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PLUMES AND SOURCES?
WHAT DOES “PERSISTENCE” MEAN AND HOW IS THE EMISSION RATE FOR A GIVEN SOURCE CALCULATED?
DO YOU HAVE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE FIELDS IN YOUR PLUME AND SOURCE LISTS?
WHAT FORMAT DO YOU USE FOR YOUR PLUME TIME STAMPS?
HOW CAN I DOWNLOAD YOUR PLUME EMISSION DATABASE?
HOW CAN I DETERMINE WHERE YOU’VE COLLECTED DATA AND WHERE YOU HAVEN’T?
WHAT ARE NULL DETECTS?
HOW CAN I CONFIRM A REPORTED LEAK REPAIR OR SEE WHEN AN INTERMITTENT SOURCE IS NOT DETECTED?
ARE ALL OBSERVED METHANE SOURCES LEAKS?
CARBON MAPPER ANALYZES NASA EMIT DATA, BUT IN SOME CASES THERE ARE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN WHAT CARBON MAPPER PUBLISHES AND WHAT NASA PUBLISHES, WHY?
SOME EMISSION RATES ARE STATED AS NOT YET QUANTIFIED. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
HOW DO YOU DETERMINE THE EMISSION SECTOR FOR A GIVEN PLUME/SOURCE AND WHY DON’T YOU IDENTIFY INDIVIDUAL FACILITY OWNERS/OPERATORS?
I WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK TO CARBON MAPPER REGARDING A METHANE EVENT SHOWN IN YOUR DATA PORTAL (ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE SOURCE, ANY MITIGATION ACTION, ETC.). WHO SHOULD I CONTACT? HOW DO I SUBMIT A CORRECTION OR RESPONSE TO ONE OF THE REPORTED EMISSIONS ON YOUR WEBSITE?
WHY DO PLUME CONCENTRATIONS VARY AROUND THE SOURCE SOMETIMES, WITH ARTIFACTS LIKE ROAD-ALIGNED PATTERNS AND DATA GAPS OVER DARK FEATURES?
