We will be using CrIS JPSS-1 Methane forward stream. To see all the available data for CrIS JPSS-1 Methane (CH4) go to the CrIS JPSS-1 Online Archive for CH4:
bash
open https://tropess.gesdisc.eosdis.nasa.gov/data/TROPESS_Summary/TRPSYL2CH4CRS1FS.1
Download the sample data
For this exercise, download the TROPESS Summary Methane (CH4) product for May 16, 2023:
```bash datafile=TROPESSCrIS-JPSS1L2SummaryCH420230516MUSESR1p20FSF0p6.nc
pushd ./data
download the data file
wget --load-cookies ~/.urscookies --save-cookies ~/.urscookies \ --auth-no-challenge=on --keep-session-cookies --content-disposition \ https://tropess.gesdisc.eosdis.nasa.gov/data/TROPESSSummary/TRPSYL2CH4CRS1FS.1/2023/$datafile

Examples
Bias corrected column-averaged dry air mixing ratio of Methane for the column from 826 hPa to Top of Atmosphere (TOA) in ppbv.
The scatter plot is a direct plot of the data values.
The spacially interpolated plots use SciPy cKDTree with a maximum distance to preserve large areas where there is no data.
