Short summary
We used satellite observations and atmospheric models to understand methane emissions over South Asia, a region with large uncertainties. The study finds that the total emissions are moderately higher than previously thought, with important spatial and seasonal differences, especially in areas affected by monsoon rainfall and seasonal flooding. The results highlight the influence of rainfall, wetlands, and agriculture on CH₄ emissions and show the need for seasonally resolved emission estimates.
