𝐇𝐲𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐆𝐚𝐬: 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧-𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐠𝐚𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 SRON scientists have developed an open-source system called HyperGas that enables users to convert raw hyperspectral satellite observations into greenhouse gas plume concentrations and emission estimates. Hyperspectral satellites offer a high enough spatial resolution to detect and quantify greenhouse gas emissions from individual facilities. By providing a common framework across multiple instruments, HyperGas helps build a consistent, transparent and community-supported system for quantifying facility-level emissions. The image shows a methane plume overlaid on visual imagery, with the emission source highlighted by a yellow circle. Read more: https://lnkd.in/edJ_756e Xin Zhang J.D.
