Abstract

Summary form only given. Environmental applications of mid-IR TILDAS instruments including: the measurement of greenhouse gas fluxes from natural and agricultural landscapes; the mapping of urban pollutants to identify and quantify emission sources; and the measurement of automobile exhaust emissions from on-road vehicles are presented and discussed.
