Short summary
We merge TROPOMI and IASI L2 methane data from January 2018 to June 2021 on a global scale. The data merging yields total column-averaged and upper tropospheric/stratospheric partial column-averaged mole fractions (already provided by the individual data sets). In addition, it outputs tropospheric partial column-averaged mole fractions (not provided by any of the two individual data sets). We briefly document their increased potential for quantifying near-surface methane emissions.
