Second, there is a high degree of variability in both localization and rate estimates at the 30-minute scale using the CMS solutions studied here. These near real time estimates are often used by oil and gas operators to determine when a site visit is necessary to mitigate methane emissions. We find that using longer term aggregates (e.g., multi-hour averages or maximums) will likely reduce false positive alerts and provide more meaningful information to optimize the deployment of emission mitigation personnel. This finding aligns with the latest controlled release evaluation presented in Cheptonui et al. , which found that many solutions had high variability in their individual rate estimates.
