Airborne methane survey archive

Airborne methane survey archive: light-aircraft flyovers instrumented with infrared spectroscopy, optical ground imagery, GPS position and inertial orientation produce geolocated methane plume detections, and critically each plume carries a QUANTIFIED emission rate (not just a qualitative detection). Output is a plume inventory — location, source attribution to ground feature, rate estimate, per-survey date, plus controlled-release calibration data used to validate quantification accuracy. Coverage spans oil & gas fields, refineries, landfills and storage facilities.

Dataset card

Type: not stated
Format: Multimodal — infrared spectral time series fused with geospatial vector plume inventories, geotagged optical imagery of the ground below the flight path, and GPS/inertial telemetry; delivered as survey maps and tabular plume/rate listings
Volume: Per survey: hundreds to thousands of plume records with rates across a surveyed basin. A light aircraft covers hundreds of square km per flight, so the multi-year archive likely holds 10^5+ quantified plume detections across oil/gas fields, refineries, landfills and storage sites, each backed by raw spectral + imagery + GPS/inertial traces at 1-second-or-finer sampling (order 10^7-10^9 raw measurement points).
Users: N/A — B2B airborne survey service selling reports and data products, no registered-user platform
History: 10 years
Update frequency: not stated
Growth: Active — methodology document revised as recently as April 2024, ~46 employees, and the business has been absorbed into a larger aerial-imagery services group, indicating continued commercial operation
Launched: ~2014-2016 (Sunnyvale-based methane quantification venture with a mature corporate profile and a long-running controlled-release validation program; the underlying spectroscopic quantification method predates the 2024 document revision by years)
