An improved OBS based technique that monitors gas emissions from smoke stacks, tail pipes, and other sources, and that separates gas column density from thermal radiance contrast. The technique of the present invention utilizes a software generated digital filter (30) constructed to correlate with only the spectrum of gas (12) of interest, and have zero correlation with background components (22). Through using the improved OBS technique of the present invention, high performance and more positive cost effective gas monitoring systems and sensors may be built and implemented. |
