The Integrated Methane Inversion (IMI) workflow is a cloud-computing tool for quantifying methane emissions
by inversion of satellite observations from the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI).
It uses `GEOS-Chem `_ as forward model for the inversion and infers methane emissions
at 25 × 25 km\ :sup:`2`\ resolution.
This site provides instructions for using the IMI, including launching an AWS compute instance,
configuring and running an inversion, and analyzing the results with a ready-made jupyter notebook.
Some instructions are specific to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud, but the IMI can also be run on a
local compute cluster either manually building the environment or using a docker container.
