Claim:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoding instructions which, when executed by a computer system comprising at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to: identify a prior 2-D surveyed area according to a first set of gas emission survey data resulting from a first mobile measurement run performed by a mobile measurement device along a first measurement path, the first set of gas emission survey data comprising a trajectory of the first measurement path and a first set of associated atmospheric condition data characterizing the first mobile measurement run; and update the prior 2-D surveyed area to generate a posterior 2-D surveyed area according to a second set of gas emission survey data resulting from a second mobile measurement run, the second set of gas emission survey data comprising a second set of associated atmospheric condition data characterizing the second mobile measurement run, wherein updating the prior 2-D surveyed area comprises determining a posterior probability of missing detection of a potential gas source situated at a given location according to: i. a prior probability of missing detection of the potential gas source situated at the given location after the first mobile measurement run, and ii. a probability of missing detection of the potential gas source situated at the given location during the second mobile measurement run.
