Quantitative estimate of several sources of uncertainty in drone-based methane emission measurements by T. H. Mohammadloo, M. Jones, B. van de Kerkhof, K. Dawson, B. J. Smith, S. Conley, A. Corbett, A. Corbett, R. IJzermans

“…Remotely piloted aircraft systems (commonly referred to as “drones”) can play a pivotal role in the quantification of site-level methane emissions. Typical implementations use the “mass balance method” to quantify emissions, with a high-precision methane sensor mounted on a quadcopter drone flying in a vertical curtain pattern; the total mass emission rate can then be computed post hoc from the measured methane concentration data and simultaneous wind data. …”
