Short summary

Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite (GOSAT) was launched to monitor CO₂ and CH₄ concentrations from the space. This paper analyses an extremely high XCH₄ event over Northeast Asia observed by GOSAT in the summer of 2013. Results indicate that the high XCH₄ event was caused by fast transport of CH₄-rich air from East China to Japan due to anomalies of north Pacific high-pressure system over East Asia. This study demonstrates the capability of GOSAT to detect an XCH₄ event on a synoptic scale.
