Abstract

We present localization and quantitative concentration analysis of controlled methane releases using chirped laser dispersion spectroscopy (CLaDS) in conjunction with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in an open-path sensing configuration. The system was operational with gusts up to 10 m/s, at distances up to 40 meters, and without using jacks to mechanically stabilize of the instrument vehicle.
