Methane Venting Into Air Over Arctic Sea Ice
Using European Satellite Data (Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring Service; CAMS) I show that methane is now venting into the air at the surface in the Arctic in the Kara Sea off the Russian Island of Novaya Zemlya. It must be seeping from the ocean floor, bubbling up through the shallow water column and working its way through the sea ice cover. You may recall that many large “methane craters” have been discovered lately on the Yamal Peninsula which juts out into the Kara Sea in this region.
This
is not good for humanity

27 2018 Just discovered that a polar view of methane emissions is
available on the new Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service! We
haven't had an easily accessible polar view since Omar Cabrera quit
operating his Methane
Tracker.
