Abstract
Emissions of the greenhouse gases, particularly methane and carbon dioxide, by the mining, processing, and energy industries can significantly affect pollution in the bottom layer of the atmosphere, aerosols, and the atmospheric greenhouse effect. Continuous monitoring of emissions is the basis for developing effective strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Satellite missions are actively used for this purpose. The article provides an overview and description of the existing databases of greenhouse gas emissions obtained based on satellite measurements. The monitoring methodology involves satellite spectroscopy aimed at analyzing the spectral characteristics of light absorbed by the atmosphere. The results of measurements by satellite spectrometers show the total molar mass of substances throughout the atmospheric column. Global satellite monitoring allows identifying zones of anomalous concentration and identifying new sources of greenhouse gases, comparing them with the ground-based measurements of pollutants.
