# MethaneSET-L89 Pretraining: Plume-Free Landsat 8/9 Scenes for Self-Supervised Learning
methaneset-l89-pretraining is the plume-free subset of MethaneSET-L89, designed for self-supervised pretraining of methane detection models. This subset contains Landsat 8/9 imagery from locations and time periods where no methane plumes were detected, providing clean background scenes for learning spectral representations of oil/gas infrastructure, geological features, and atmospheric conditions without methane signatures. Unlike MARS-S2L which provides only six common bands, MethaneSET retrieves all 9 Landsat OLI bands at 10m GSD (200x200 pixel chips), enabling research with coastal aerosol, cirrus, and panchromatic channels. Each sample includes target and reference image pairs, Cloud Score+ masks, wind vectors (ERA5-Land onshore, GEOS-FP offshore), solar/viewing geometry, elevation (Copernicus DEM GLO-30), and 64-dim AlphaEarth Foundation embeddings.
