Abstract

We used WRF-LES 4.7.0 to generate realistic methane plumes that represent a three-dimensional mass distribution in the atmospheric boundary layer over time. The main use of these simulations is the validation of methane flux rate estimations and the sensitivity analysis to different effects. Different studies are ongoing but, so far, results have been published about the impact of source typology and a detailed study of the parallax effect induced by illumination and viewing angular conditions Please, check the README.txt file for more info and/or contact us for any comments or suggestions.
