Abstract
The determination of methane emissions on a regional scale is needed in order to reduce some of the uncertainties in the global methane budget. Our measurements of the concentration and the Carbon-13 isotope composition (δ13C) of atmospheric methane are, combined with trajectories, used to get insight in the type and size of the methane emissions of a large area.
