Detecting and quantifying greenhouse gas emissions from individual sites by satellite remote sensing has emerged as a powerful new method in recent years. As more and more players enter the field, based on a variety of technologies for both instrumentation and data processing, there is a need for standardized methods for evaluating the performance of these systems. This document is focused on the specific example of satellite-based methane detection – but the principles can easily be applied to detection of other gases, and to detection from different platforms (such as aircraft).
