Abstract
This study evaluates the performance of methane (CH₄) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) sensors mounted on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for gas detection in open-field environments. Sensors were tested simultaneously during UAV flights over artificial gas sources, with wind data collected from two anemometers to understand plume dynamics. Field-deployed CH₄ sensors provided validation for the UAV-based measurements. The results demonstrate the sensors' effectiveness in gas detection.
