methane, Sentinel-5P, TROPOMI, correlation, seismic activityAbstract
The purpose of the research is to study the relationship between methane flows (measured by remote sensing of the Earth) and geological and anthropogenic sources. The results of the Sentinel-5P TROPOMI survey (summer 2022) made it possible to obtain data on the methane concentrations in the troposphere over the regions of Eastern Europe, Southwest Asia, and Central Asia Increased methane concentrations (more than 1900 ppb) are characteristic of Qatar, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Turkmenistan, Pakistan and other countries located in the collision zone of lithospheric plates and possessing high oil and gas subsoil. A positive correlation between the average and median concentrations of tropospheric methane and seismic activity (correlation coefficients 0.756 and 0.786, respectively), natural gas reserves (0.745 and 0.759), cattle population (0.403 and 0.336), population density (0.322 and 0.447) was established. The average methane content over the cities positively correlates with seismic activity (0.557) and population density (0.355).
