Mapping Refrigerant Gases in the New York City Skyline

Abstract Cities are now home to more than 50% of the world’s population and emit large quantities of pollutants from sources such as fossil fuel combustion and the leakage of refrigerants. We demonstrate the utility of persistent synoptic longwave hyperspectral imaging to study the ongoing leakage o...
