Abstract
Methods and apparatus for detecting and measuring gas flow are disclosed in which lidar distance information, acquired during the detection of gas using a lidar sensor, is used together with prevailing wind data to determine local wind data for the leak location. This local wind data, which may comprise one or more vectors or a 3D wind model, is used in the determination of flow rate.
