Short summary

At local scales emissions of methane (CH₄) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) are highly uncertain. The AVIRIS-NG imaging spectrometer maps large regions and generates high-spatial-resolution CH₄ and CO₂ concentration maps from anthropogenic and natural sources. Examples include CH₄ from a processing plant, tank, pipeline leak, seep, mine vent shafts, and CO₂ from power plants. This demonstrates a greenhouse gas monitoring capability that targets the two dominant anthropogenic climate-forcing agents.
