- 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.

- Description:
- As part of the Flaring & Fossil Fuels: Uncovering Emissions & Losses (F3UEL) project, the aircraft measurement platform sampled downwind of flares in the Permian and Eagle Ford regions of Texas (2020) and the Bakken in North Dakota (2021). Estimates of methane destruction removal efficiency are calculated for each airborne intercept of a flare combustion plume based on the observed enhancements of carbon dioxide and methane, along with assumptions about the flare gas composition. Locations provided are the GPS coordinates for the aircraft sampling, not of the upwind flare infrastructure on the ground. Attempts to link the airborne sampling locations to ground infrastructure using the provided wind information (measured at the aircraft), should take care to account for complexities of transport in the atmosphere.

- Description:
- As part of the Measurement of Agriculture Illuminating farm-Zone Emissions of N2O (MAIZE) project, in 2021 the aircraft platform sampled the agriculture regions of Nebraska and Iowa. Vertical profiles were conducted on each flight to capture the vertical structure and mixing depths of the atmosphere. The data files contains the merged data for each individual file day.

- Description:
- Data collected by Mooney aircraft over Houston and Denver in Summer 2020. Flights typically were designed to measure within the boundary layer in a raster pattern perpendicular to wind direction, thus sampling the urban plume repeatedly. Vertical profiles are 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.

- 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.
