Mid-Atlantic Gas Emissions Quantification (MAGEQ)
In summer 2025, NASA has multiple aircraft in the MD/VA area flying for separate missions. Leveraging these systems in a coordinated fashion allows us to better support GHG Center priorities and needs of local stakeholders.
* Demonstrate and compare emissions estimation techniques in priority regions – urban, wetland, agricultural, and coal mining areas
* Prototype methodology for scaling from detailed measurement periods to annual estimates needed by stakeholders
* Complement ground observations with airborne data to improve utility of satellite observations for environmental management
