Satellite observations of nitrous oxide emissions from adipic acid production
Nicholas Balasus, Daniel H. Cusworth
The production of adipic acid generates nitrous oxide as a by-product, which, if emitted, very effectively warms the climate and depletes the stratospheric ozone layer. There exist…
Quantifying AI data center nitrogen oxide (NO) emissions from space
Kevin D. Gauld, Daniel J. Varon, Nicholas Balasus +1
AI data center power demand is spurring rapid deployment of on- and near-site natural gas turbines. The resulting nitrogen oxide NO pollution is a growing concern but has not p…
Fully Automatic Trace Gas Plume Detection
Vít Růžička, David R. Thompson, Jay E. Fahlen +13
Future imaging spectrometers will expand contemporary data volumes by orders of magnitude, requiring automated methods to upscale labor-intensive detection of trace gas point sourc…
Mapping ammonia emission plumes using shortwave infrared imaging spectroscopy
Nicholas Balasus, Daniel H. Cusworth, Jinsol Kim +3
Atmospheric ammonia emissions are harmful to ecosystems and human health. These emissions have traditionally been monitored using thermal infrared spectrometers, though such techni…
Multi-Platform Methane Plume Detection via Model and Domain Adaptation
Vassiliki Mancoridis, Brian Bue, Jake H. Lee +5
Prioritizing methane for near-term climate action is crucial due to its significant impact on global warming. Previous work used columnwise matched filter products from the airborn…
Quantifying urban and landfill methane emissions in the United States using TROPOMI satellite data
Xiaolin Wang, Daniel J. Jacob, Hannah Nesser +8
Urban areas are major sources of methane due to population needs for landfills, natural gas distribution, wastewater treatment, and residential combustion. Here we apply an inversi…
Towards Operational Automated Greenhouse Gas Plume Detection and Delineation
Brian D. Bue, Jake H. Lee, Andrew K. Thorpe +7
Operational deployment of a fully automated facility-scale greenhouse gas (GHG) plume detection system remains challenging for fine spatial resolution imaging spectrometers, despit…
Satellite monitoring of annual US landfill methane emissions and trends
Nicholas Balasus, Daniel J. Jacob, Gabriel Maxemin +7
We use satellite observations of atmospheric methane from the TROPOMI instrument to estimate total annual methane emissions for 2019-2023 from four large Southeast US landfills wit…
Global Tracking and Quantification of Oil and Gas Methane Emissions from Recurrent Sentinel-2 Imagery
Thibaud Ehret, Aurélien De Truchis, Matthieu Mazzolini +6
Methane (CH4) emissions estimates from top-down studies over oil and gas basins have revealed systematic under-estimation of CH4 emissions in current national inventories. Sparse b…
Impact of Scene-Specific Enhancement Spectra on Matched Filter Greenhouse Gas Retrievals from Imaging Spectroscopy
Markus D. Foote, Philip E. Dennison, Patrick R. Sullivan +6
Matched filter (MF) techniques have been widely used for retrieval of greenhouse gas enhancements (enh.) from imaging spectroscopy datasets. While multiple algorithmic techniques a…
Global Assessment of Oil and Gas Methane Ultra-Emitters
Thomas Lauvaux, Clément Giron, Matthieu Mazzolini +5
Methane emissions from oil and gas (O&G) production and transmission represent a significant contribution to climate change. These emissions comprise sporadic releases of large amo…
