Monitoring global tropospheric OH concentrations using satellite observations of atmospheric methane

<p>The hydroxyl radical (OH) is the main tropospheric oxidant and the main sink for atmospheric methane. The global abundance of OH has been monitored for the past decades using atmospheric methyl chloroform (CH<sub>3</sub>CCl<sub>3</sub>) as a proxy. This method is...
