Comparison of observation- and inventory- based CH4 emissions for eight large global emitters

CoCO2 (https://coco2-project.eu/) is a scientific collaborative effort funded by the H2020 European Commissions, grant number 958927.

This synthesis has been originally based on data and country specific plots from previous VERIFY project, for the EU27: https://webportals.ipsl.fr/VERIFY/FactSheets, v1.28 and on the WP8 deliverable Reports D8.1 (https://coco2-project.eu/node/333), D8.2 (https://coco2-project.eu/node/360) and D8.3 (https://coco2-project.eu/index.php/node/406) from the CoCO2 project website.

This dataset is updated after we received two review comments. Each spreadsheet contains the CH4 data behind the manuscript figures, both as time series, mean values and uncertainties (min, max ranges). Units are mentioned for each figure. For the gridded figures data should be asked directly from the data providers.
