Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for a trace-gas sensor configured to generate a raw detector signal based on a gas sample; an analog processing configured to filter, amplify, lock-in, and/or normalize the generated raw detector signal; analog to digital converters configured to convert the filtered and amplified detector signal to a digital signal; and a drive computer configured to: receive the converted digital signal from the analog to digital converters; and apply a spectroscopic model to the received digital signal to extract one or more properties of the gas sample.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods including an aerial vehicle having a global positioning system (GPS) and at least one trace-gas sensor configured to generate gas data; and a processor having addressable memory, the processor configured to: determine a flight envelope based on a received spatial location, a received spatial location of the one or more potential gas sources, a received desired level of confidence, and a received wind data; determine a flight path for the aerial vehicle, where the flight path covers a portion of the determined flight envelope; and determine based on a received gas data whether a gas leak is present in the received spatial location to the received desired level of confidence.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods including: measuring, by a gas sensor, gas concentrations; transmitting, by the gas sensor, concentration signals corresponding to the measured gas concentrations to a processor; evaluating, by a feature identification module of the processor, each individual concentration signal with a plurality of criteria, where the evaluating includes identifying if the individual concentration signal is a peak signal based on whether a plurality of values extracted from the individual concentration signal according to the plurality of criteria are within thresholds and tagging the individual concentration signal as a feature if the individual concentration signal is the peak signal; and calculating, by an ambient background level calculator module of the processor, an ambient background gas level by removing the measured gas concentration corresponding to the concentration signal set as a feature from an original background level.
