TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted an airborne campaign in Four Corners during April 2015 with the next-generation Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (near-infrared) and Hyperspectral Thermal Emission Spectrometers (thermal infrared) imaging spectrometers to better understand the source of methane by measuring methane plumes at 1-to 3-m spatial resolution.

McCubbin,Michael L. Eastwood,Matthias Falk,Jorn D. Herner,Bart E. Croes,Robert O. Green,Charles E. Miller +18 more
TL;DR: The remote sensing approach enables the rapid and repeated assessment of large areas at high spatial resolution for a poorly characterized population of methane emitters that often appear intermittently and stochastically, leading to the mitigation of anomalous methane-emission activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

David R. Thompson,Ira Leifer,Heinrich Bovensmann,Michael L. Eastwood,Matthew Fladeland,Christian Frankenberg,Konstantin Gerilowski,Robert O. Green,S. Kratwurst,Thomas Krings,B. Luna,Andrew K. Thorpe +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a case study of the NASA/ESA CO2 and MEthane eXperiment (COMEX) campaign in California during June and August/September 2014.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the next generation Airborne VISible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS-NG) for detecting anthropogenic methane (CH 4 ) sources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Space-Based Remote Imaging Spectroscopy of the Aliso Canyon CH4 Superemitter
David R. Thompson,Andrew K. Thorpe,Christian Frankenberg,Robert O. Green,Riley M. Duren,Luis Guanter,André Hollstein,Elizabeth M. Middleton,Lawrence Ong,Stephen Ungar +9 more
TL;DR: The Hyperion imaging spectrometer on board the EO-1 satellite successfully detected the Aliso Canyon gas storage facility near Porter Ranch, California, produced a large accidental CH_4 release from October 2015 to February 2016.
