Localizing Gaseous Fugitive Emission Sources by Combining Real-Time Optical Remote Sensing and Wind Data
This paper presents a new approach to localize point emissions from ground-level fugitive gaseous air pollution sources. We estimate the crosswind plume's ground-level peak location downwind from the source by combining smooth basis functions minimization (SBFM) with path-integrated optical remote sensing concentration data acquired along the crosswind direction in alternating beam path lengths. Peak location estimates, in conjunction with real-time measured wind direction data, are used to reconstruct the fugitive source location. We conducted a synthetic data study to evaluate the proposed peak location SBFM reconstruction. Furthermore, the methodology was validated with open-path Fourier transform infrared concentration data collected with wind direction data downwind from a controlled point source. This approach was found to provide reasonable estimates of point source location. The field study reconstructed source location was within several meters of the real source location.
