API 4587 : 1994

Abstract

Evaluates state of the art optical remote sensing (ORS) technology and examines the potential use of ORS systems combined with ancillary measurements such as meterological and tracer gas release data to determine fugitive emission rates. Also highlights some issues to consider in planning an ORS field study and clarifies the attendant tradeoffs for such issues as: selection of appropriate ORS systems, consideration of detection limits and beam placement, choice of dispersion models and use of tracer gas releases, time scale and timing of field studies and the requisite meterological measurements.
