1. A system comprising:
a first drone configured to follow a first motion path along a generally vertical direction;
a second drone configured to follow a second motion path along a generally vertical direction;
a laser configured to produce a transmitted laser beam directed from the first drone toward the second drone, wherein the transmitted laser beam is used to perform a first gas measurement along a first measurement path at a first height above the ground and a second gas measurement along a second gas measurement path at a second height above the ground;
a receiver configured to receive at least a portion of the transmitted laser beam that is used to perform the gas measurement, wherein the receiver is on the first drone or the second drone;
a wind measurement device configured to produce wind data associated with the first height, the second height or combinations thereof; and
a processor configured to calculate a total gas flux through a flux surface based at least in part on the first gas measurement, the second gas measurement, and the wind data, wherein the flux surface is based on the first motion path and the second motion path.
