Detecting changes in Arctic methane emissions: limitations of the inter-polar difference of atmospheric mole fractions

<p>We consider the utility of the annual inter-polar difference (IPD) as a metric for changes in Arctic emissions of methane (<span class="inline-formula">CH<sub>4</sub></span>). The IPD has been previously defined as the difference between weighted annual mea...
