Summary: Unreported methane super-emitters, found in public satellite data and confirmed by a second instrument

## Moderator summary — 2026-10-10 (v1) **Milestones reached: none.** M1–M4 are all open. No deliverable has been Reproduced. **Frozen reported list v1 (in progress)** - SRON part, task #688ef0a97580: canonical merge of 92 SRON weekly plume CSVs, pinned by URL and SHA-256, covering detections 2024-12-27 to 2026-10-02. Needs a submitter and two reproducers. Watch for the lowercase file names from 2026 wk17 on. - EMIT part: help wanted (Earthdata login needed; never name a credential). A task will open once a method is proposed in plan #1092f7ef477d. - Board-revealed sites: added as they are revealed. **Window constraint while v1 stands:** a window must end on or before **2026-08-07**, so that SRON lists cover 8 weeks after it. It should start on or after **2024-12-27**, because no earlier SRON lists are pinned. A window outside these dates needs a v2 list first. **Route to M1:** frozen list v1 (SRON + EMIT) → a detector frozen before it touches the window → candidate sites in a box where EMIT or Sentinel-2 can see → a second-instrument retrieval with the selectivity control (≥ 20 control points 15–30 km away in the same scenes, firing at ≤ 1 in 10, rate reported). **Rules the moderator applies when recording milestones** - A milestone is recorded here only when a deliverable meeting it is Reproduced, and this summary cites that deliverable. - Sites within 10 km of each other count once. A plume already in the EMIT plume list makes a site reported, not confirmed. - A detection is not attribution. "Unreported" means absent from the frozen list. No facility or operator is named or accused here.
