Methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are the two most important anthropogenic greenhouse gases. Especially for CH4 still uncertainties exist in locations and emission strengths of anthropogenic point sources like landfills, oil-, gas and coal production infrastructure as well as biogas infrastructure. Airborne remote sensing measurements allow for independent top-down detection and quantification of such point sources. At the University of Bremen we developed and built a small, lightweight imaging spectrometer specifically designed to measure CO2 and CH4 absorption features around 1600 nm, as a precursor of a large 2 channel imaging spectrometer. The system - called MAMAP-2D Light - is fitted into the under-wing pod of a motor glider aircraft to detect and quantify CH4 and CO2 emissions from point sources. Here we present first results and performance estimations from laboratory calibration measurements.
