EMIT is installed on the International Space Station. EMIT uses imaging spectroscopy to take measurements of sunlit regions of interest between 52\u00b0 N latitude and 52\u00b0 S latitude. An interactive map showing the regions being investigated, current and forecasted data coverage, and additional data resources can be found on the VSWIR Imaging Spectroscopy Interface for Open Science (VISIONS) [EMIT Open Data Portal](https://earth.jpl.nasa.gov/emit/data/data-portal/coverage-and-forecasts/).\n\nIn addition to its primary objective described above, EMIT has demonstrated the capacity to characterize methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) point-source emissions by measuring gas absorption features in the shortwave infrared bands. The EMIT Level 2B Methane Enhancement Data (EMITL2BCH4ENH) Version 2 data product is a total vertical column enhancement estimate of methane in parts per million meter (ppm m) based on an adaptive matched filter approach. EMITL2BCH4ENH provides per-pixel methane enhancement data used to identify methane plume complexes, per-pixel methane uncertainty due to sensor noise, and per-pixel methane sensitivity that can be used to remove bias from the enhancement data. \n\nThe EMITL2BCH4ENH Version 2 data product includes methane enhancement granules for all captured scenes, regardless of methane plume complex identification. Each granule contains three Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (COG) files at a spatial resolution of 60 meters (m): Methane Enhancement (EMIT_L2B_CH4ENH), Methane Uncertainty (EMIT_L2B_CH4UNCERT), and Methane Sensitivity (EMIT_L2B_CH4SENS). The EMITL2BCH4ENH COG files contain methane enhancement data based primarily on [EMITL1BRAD](https://doi.org/10.5067/EMIT/EMITL1BRAD.001) radiance values. \n\nEach granule is approximately 75 kilometers (km) by 75 km, nominal at the equator, with some granules at the end of an orbit segment reaching 150 km in length.\n\nKnown Issues\n\n* Data acquisition gap: From September 13, 2022, through January 6, 2023, a power issue outside of EMIT caused a pause in operations. Due to this shutdown, no data were acquired during that timeframe.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "conformsTo": "http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmi", "description": "The metadata's original source.", "downloadURL": "https://cmr.earthdata.nasa.gov/search/concepts/C3242680113-LPCLOUD.iso19115", "format": "ISO", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://data.lpdaac.earthdatacloud.nasa.gov/lp-prod-public/EMITL2BCH4ENH.002/EMIT_L2B_CH4ENH_002_20250409T111704_2509907_003/EMIT_L2B_CH4ENH_002_20250409T111704_2509907_003.png", "format": "PNG", "mediaType": "image/png"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://doi.org/10.5067/EMIT/EMITL2BCH4ENH.002", "format": "BIN", "mediaType": "application/octet-stream"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://earth.jpl.nasa.gov/emit/", "format": "BIN", "mediaType": "application/octet-stream"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://github.com/emit-sds/emit-ghg", "format": "BIN", "mediaType": "application/octet-stream"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://github.com/emit-sds/emit-sds-tgp/blob/main/docs/EMIT_L2B_TRACE_GAS_ATBD.md", "format": "BIN", "mediaType": "application/octet-stream"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://github.com/emit-sds/emit-sds-tgp/blob/main/docs/EMIT_L2B_TRACE_GAS_User_Guide.md", "format": "BIN", "mediaType": "application/octet-stream"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://github.com/nasa/EMIT-Data-Resources", "format": "BIN", "mediaType": "application/octet-stream"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/search/?query=EMIT&content_types=E-Learning&view=cards&sort=relevance", "format": "BIN", "mediaType": "application/octet-stream"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://search.earthdata.nasa.gov/search/granules?p=C3242680113-LPCLOUD", "format": "BIN", "mediaType": "application/octet-stream"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/centers/lp-daac", "format": "BIN", "mediaType": "application/octet-stream"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLO2yB4LGNlWrC5NdxeHMxyAxdwQhSypXe", "format": "BIN", "mediaType": "application/octet-stream"}], "identifier": "10.5067/EMIT/EMITL2BCH4ENH.002", "keyword": ["earth-science-air-quality-atmosphere-emissions", "earth-science-atmospheric-chemistry-atmosphere-carbon-and-hydrocarbon-compounds"], "license": "https://www.usa.gov/government-works", "modified": "2026-06-23", "programCode": ["026:000"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "LP DAAC;NASA/JPL/EMIT"}, "spatial": "[\"CARTESIAN\", [{\"NorthBoundingCoordinate\": 54, \"WestBoundingCoordinate\": -180, \"EastBoundingCoordinate\": 180, \"SouthBoundingCoordinate\": -54}]]", "temporal": "2022-08-09/2026-06-15", "theme": ["Earth Science"], "title": "EMIT L2B Methane Enhancement Data 60 m V002"}
