The gridded EPA U.S. anthropogenic methane greenhouse gas inventory (gridded GHGI) includes spatially disaggregated (0.1 deg x 0.1 deg or approximately 10 x 10 km resolution) maps of annual anthropogenic methane emissions for the contiguous United States (CONUS), consistent with national annual U.S. anthropogenic methane emissions reported in the U.S. EPA [Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks](https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/inventory-us-greenhouse-gas-emissions-and-sinks) (U.S. GHGI). The gridded GHGI dataset contains methane emissions provided as fluxes, in units of molecules of methane per square cm per second, for over 25 individual emission source categories, including those from agriculture, petroleum and natural gas systems, coal mining, and waste. The data have been scaled to Megagrams of CH₄ per km² per year (Mg/km²/yr) for use in the Earth.gov, thereby enabling user exploration of spatial anthropogenic methane emissions and their trends.

## Disclaimer
All data provided in the US GHG Center has been transformed from the original format (NetCDF) into Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF ([COG](https://www.cogeo.org/)). Careful quality checks are used to ensure data transformation has been performed correctly. The manuscript describing the gridded methane GHGI has been peer-reviewed, but is not part of the same annual expert and public review processes as the U.S. EPA National and State-level Inventory.
