“…Furthermore, ground-based optical remote sensing methods like OP-FTIR are well suited to study dynamic atmospheric processes due to their avoidance of any disturbances upon emission and/or sampling processes (Reiche et al, 2014;Schütze and Sauer, 2016). Several successful applications of active and passive OP-FTIR are reported in terms of air quality monitoring, dynamic atmospheric processes observations, and emission rate estimations in boundary layer (e.g., Griffith et al, 2002;Allard et al, 2005;Schäfer et al, 2012;Chen, 2015). The technique is often combined with other micrometeorological investigations and provides information on several GHG target gases, such as CO 2 , CH 4 , NH 3 , and N 2 O (Griffith et al, 2012;Wilson and Flesch, 2016).…”
