High-Density Gas Column Abundance Measurements Using New Low-Cost Autonomous Sensors, A Solution For Gas Flux Monitoring
Abstract
This presentation describes a new low-cost gas sensor and strategies of grid deployment for continuous monitoring of gas flux. By measuring column abundances using sun, moon and local light sources, with strategically placed grids of such autonomous sensors, the resulting data can be analyzed with dispersion models to continuously monitor gas flux into or out of any area. We describe this pupil imaging gas correlation (PIGC) sensor, recent laboratory test results, and grid deployment and analysis strategies.
