Aircraft Data (2022) for Flaring & Fossil Fuels: Uncovering Emissions & Losses (F3UEL)

Creator:

Kort, Eric A., Plant, Genevieve, Brandt, Adam R., Chen, Yuanlei, Gorchov Negron, Alan M., and Smith, Mackenzie L.

Description:

As part of the Flaring & Fossil Fuels: Uncovering Emissions & Losses (F3UEL) project, in 2022 the aircraft measurement platform sampled offshore oil & gas facilities in the US Gulf of Mexico to quantify facility-level emissions using the approach detailed in Conley et al. (2017). Vertical profiles were conducted on each flight to capture the vertical structure and mixing depths of the atmosphere. The data file contains all merged flight data from each flight day.

Aircraft Data for Airborne Assessment of Methane Emissions from Offshore Platforms in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico

Creator:

Gorchov Negron, Alan M., Kort, Eric A., Conley, Stephen A., and Smith, Mackenzie L.

Description:

This data-set contains data used in the publication "Airborne Assessment of Methane Emissions from Offshore Platforms in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico" by Gorchov Negron et al. (2020). There are 46,032 rows and 45 columns in the data. and The aircraft sampled offshore facilities with two unique sampling strategies: facility-level samples and regional box samples. Gorchov Negron et al. used facility-level samples to calculate facility-level fluxes and regional box samples, in conjunction with vertical profiles, to calculate regional-level fluxes. Meteorological parameters in the data were evaluated to discern when assumptions for each method were met. The facility-level fluxes were used to generate a facility-level aerial measurement-based inventory that was scaled up for comparison with regional-level fluxes.
