Abstract: A method for monitoring air quality is described. The method includes measuring ethane and methane using a mobile sensor platform to provide sensor data. The sensor data includes methane data and ethane data captured at a nonzero mobile sensor platform speed. Methane and ethane peak(s) are identified in the sensor data. Correlation(s) between the methane and ethane peak(s) and/or between the methane peak(s) and at least one amount of 13C are determined. A source for the methane is determined based on the correlation.

Abstract: Detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is disclosed, including: receiving mobile sensor data, wherein the mobile sensor data includes volatile organic compounds (VOC) sensor data and non-VOC sensor data; identifying VOC peaks in the VOC sensor data; identifying non-VOC peaks in the non-VOC sensor data; correlating the VOC peaks with the non-VOC peaks; and determining a source type associated with the VOC peaks based at least in part on the correlation between the VOC peaks and the non-VOC peaks.

Abstract: A system, device, and method for detecting leaks near an emitter is disclosed. The method includes (i) receiving, from one or more mobile sensors, a first stream of information indicative of a leak state, (ii) determining that an initial leak state exists based at least in part on the first stream of information indicative of the leak state, (iii) receiving a second stream of information indicative of a no-leak state, (iv) using a statistical model to determine that the leak state has ended based at least in part on the first stream of information and the second stream of information, (v) receiving a third stream of information indicative of the leak state, and (vi) determining that a new leak state exists, wherein the new leak state is a distinct leak state from the initial leak state.

Abstract: A method for associating environmental data with map features is described. The method includes receiving sensor data and receiving position data. The sensor data is associated with each of a plurality of time intervals and is from at least one sensor on at least one mobile sensor platform. The position data is associated with the plurality of time intervals and is from the at least one mobile sensor platform. Trajectories and corrected locations of the mobile sensor platform are generated for the plurality of time intervals using the position data. A position of the mobile sensor platform is assigned to a corresponding map feature for each of the plurality of time intervals based on the trajectories and corrected locations. The sensor data is also processed to generate sensor data values for each of the plurality of time intervals. The sensor data values are assigned to the corresponding map feature of the position of the mobile sensor platform for each of the plurality of time intervals.
