- PULSE by GHGSatWhat you can see on the map are concentrations of methane in the atmosphere from both natural and man-made sources combined. You can see how methane moves through our atmosphere and also, by using the time slider, you can see the differences in concentration levels over a six-month time period. The underlying data is available upon request for non-commercial use.
