    Satellite remote sensing is currently a economical and effective method for monitoring atmospheric methane concentration, to understand the subtle differences in XCH4 data across different observation systems. This paper proposes a multidimensional evaluation method of the XCH4 data from GOSAT-2 and Sentinel-5p satellite, conducts uncertainty analysis by spatiotemporal matching of satellite data with ground station data, and quantitatively analyzes the effective coverage of XCH4 observations from the two satellites in different latitude bands and typical research areas. The research results indicate that: 1) The Sentinel-5p satellite data has a higher correlation coefficient (R2) with TCCON data compared to GOSAT-2 satellite data. (GOSAT-2: R2=0.7707, Sentinel-5p: R2=0.8494), 2) the distribution ratio of the two satellites data in the medium to low latitude zones (50° S~50° N) is as high as 70%, and 3) Sentinel-5p satellite data has a better cumulative coverage effect than GOSAT-2 satellite in a typical study area for 15 days (GOSAT-2: 0.81%, Sentinel-5p: 36.85%). This study can provide reference for the spatiotemporal fusion of multi-source carbon satellites and related research.
