Short summary
Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, but how it reaches the upper atmosphere is not well known. Using satellite data, we show that the Asian summer monsoon plays a key role in transporting methane from the lower atmosphere to the upper atmosphere, where it affects both Earth's radiation and the amount of water vapor. Our findings reveal that a regional weather system can influence the global distribution of methane, helping scientists better predict future climate change.
