This is an important manuscript documenting performances of MethaneAIR imaging spectrometer for accurately measure emissions of CH4 from oil and gas production and processing facilities The MethaneAIR is a precursor of MethaneSAT, a small satellite intended to revolutionize measurements and modeling of emissions of CH4 at regional (100s of km) and fine scales (< 1 km), across the globe. Its deployment onboard the NSF Gulfsteam-V aircraft is an important step for validation and demonstration of MethaneSAT. The paper demonstrates the instrument's ability to quantify methane emission at various scale and concludes successfully the pre-launch validation phase of MethaneSat.

Short summary
MethaneSAT is an upcoming satellite mission designed to monitor methane emissions from the oil and gas (O&G) industry globally. Here, we present observations from the first flight campaign of MethaneAIR, a MethaneSAT-like instrument mounted on an aircraft. MethaneAIR can map methane with high precision and accuracy over a typically sized oil and gas basin (~200 km2) in a single flight. This paper demonstrates the capability of the upcoming satellite to routinely track global O&G emissions.
