ANALYSIS AND REAL-TIME VISUALIZATION OF GEO-SPATIAL DATA USING XDASH: APPLICATION TO FLAIR PROJECT

This study presents a simple atmospheric inversion modeling framework for the localization and quantification of unknown CH₄ and CO₂ emissions from point sources based on near-surface mobile concentration measurements and a Gaussian plume dispersion model. It is applied for the estimate of a series of brief controlled releases of CH₄ and CO₂ with a wide range of rates during the TOTAL TADI-2018 experiment. Results indicate a ~10 %–40 % average error on the estimate of the release rates.
