Short summary

CO₂ measurements from a small unmanned aircraft system (sUAS) can provide a cost-effective way to complement and validate satellite-based measurements of anthropogenic CO₂ emissions. We introduce an sUAS which is capable of determining atmospheric CO₂ mass fluxes from its own sensor data. We show results of validation flights at the ICOS atmospheric station in Steinkimmen and from demonstration flights downwind a CO₂-emitting natural gas processing facility.
