Abstract:
It has been known that in the last ten years the content of greenhouse gases mainly of anthropogenic origin increased sharply in the atmosphere. This is associated not only with the growth of industrial activity but also with an enlargement of scales of agricultural areas, mass cutting down of wood and bogging of wood tundra. The paper provides an overview of present-day data of monitoring of space-time dynamics of greenhouse gases content obtained from the world observation network using space-borne, balloon-borne, airborne and contact sounding. In the first part of the paper attention is drawn to the assessment of temporal trend of methane content.
