Abstract:
A system for detecting gas leaks and determining their location and size. A data gathering portion of the system utilizes a hub and spoke configuration to collect path-integrated spectroscopic data over multiple open paths around an area. A processing portion of the system applies a high-resolution transport model together with meteorological data of the area to generate an influence function of possible leak locations on gas detector measurement paths, and applies an inversion model to the influence function and the spectroscopic data to generate gas source size and location.

Claim (Index 7):
A method that determines a location and a size of a gas source within a geographic area, comprising:\n collecting path-integrated spectroscopic data from an optical beam retroreflected by a UAV while the UAV flies through the geographic area; and determining the location and the size of the gas source by:\n applying a high-resolution transport model to meteorological data for the geographic area; and \n applying an inversion model to the high-resolution transport model and the collected path-integrated spectroscopic data.
