The recent surge in greenhouse gas emissions has significantly accelerated global warming, making climate change more serious. In particular, Long-lived greenhouse gases such as methane (CH4) have a warming effect about 28 times stronger than carbon dioxide (CO2), making it important to calculate the amount of methane emissions generated in Korea.
This study analyzed LDAPS meteorological data and FluxNet ground observations of the Cheorwon rice paddy region based on the GBM model, and generated a methane concentration map of methane emissions from rice paddies in Korea. The 1.5-kilometer spatial resolution of the data was used to capture more detailed regional variations, and daily maps were created to capture temporal details. This is expected to reveal patterns of methane generation. This helps to accurately predict methane emissions and is expected to reveal patterns of methane generation in response to changing weather conditions.
