Automated Way of Calculating Gas Emissions in Shallow-Water Methane Seeps Using a Passive Acoustic Technique

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

An algorithm is developed that allows automatic calculation of the number of gas bubbles seeping from a point source. The algorithm is based on an analysis of recorded acoustic signals generated by the bubbles. The algorithm is tested under field and laboratory conditions. It can be used to calculate gas flows during long-term sessions of monitoring natural methane seeps.
