Reducing anthropogenic methane emissions will greatly increase the feasibility of the 1.5 degree temperature goal from the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement . The oil and gas sector provides a promising avenue for emissions reduction as it accounts for 22% of global anthropogenic methane emissions and 32% within the U.S. . Methane emissions from the oil and gas sector exhibit high temporal variability , and infrequent, short-lived super emitter events represent a large portion of overall emissions . Therefore, continuous monitoring systems (CMS) will likely play an increasing role in emissions monitoring as they provide frequent measurements that are necessary for capturing signals from emissions with high temporal variability . Rather than directly measuring emission rates , most CMS measure ambient methane concentrations at sensor locations (for point-in-space sensor networks) , integrated concentrations along an open-path (for scanning laser systems) , or 2D images of concentration enhancements (for IR cameras) .
