Randomized trial evaluates ground-based methane monitoring networks in China, suggesting enhanced quantification techniques.

This study aims to improve methane emission quantification in China through optimized ground-based monitoring networks.
Developed an integrated framework using Bayesian analytical inversion and simulated annealing algorithms.
Assessed performance of networks with 5 to 100 new stations at various sampling frequencies.
Estimated degrees of freedom for signal (DOFS) using GEOS-Chem simulations.
Current network provides a DOFS of 134 for methane emissions, indicating limited constraint capability.
Optimizing networks with 50 new stations and weekly sampling can increase DOFS from 134 to 259.
New sites optimized for southwestern and eastern China significantly enhance emission quantification.
