Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods for a gas sensor comprising one or more optical cells; a processor having addressable memory, the processor configured to: detect gas from the one or more optical cells of the gas sensor, where the detected gas is one or more of: methane, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, water, ammonia, sulfur oxides, and nitrogen; record data corresponding to the detected gas, where the recorded data comprises at least one of: an ambient temperature from a temperature sensor, an ambient pressure from a pressure sensor, an aerial vehicle telemetry, and an aerial vehicle location from a global positioning system (GPS); and generate a map of atmospheric greenhouse gas concentration on a map based on the detected gas and the recorded data.
