人为甲烷(CH4)点源是近中期气候驱动、安全风险及系统低效的关键因素。基于成像光谱的卫星观测是全球识别排放的新工具,但现有方法多依赖人工识别羽流。本文提出基于EMIT仪器的甲烷分析与羽流定位模型(MAPL-EMIT),一种端到端视觉变换器框架,利用地球表面矿物尘源调查仪(EMIT)的完整辐射光谱,联合估算场景内所有像素的甲烷增强。该方法结合光谱信息与空间上下文,显著降低检测阈值。MAPL-EMIT可同步实现增强量化、羽流边界划定与源定位,即使面对重叠羽流亦有效。模型在360万条物理合成羽流注入全球EMIT辐射数据上训练。合成评估显示其召回率和精确度高,对弱信号的捕捉优于传统匹配滤波方法。在真实基准测试中,对1084个EMIT数据集中的已知NASA-L2B羽流复合体识别率达84%,并发现约1.5倍于人工分析的可信羽流。与航空数据、主要垃圾填埋场及可控释放实验的交叉验证进一步确认其能识别此前未被发现的源头。通过引入模型生成的光谱拟合评分与噪声估计,框架可有效抑制误报。总体而言,MAPL-EMIT实现了对全量EMIT数据集的高通量处理,推动甲烷监测向快速、可扩展的全球设施级羽流制图范式转变。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Anthropogenic methane (CH4) point sources are critical drivers of near-term climate forcing, safety hazards, and system-inefficiencies. Space-based imaging spectroscopy is an emerging tool for identifying emissions globally, but existing approaches largely rely on manual plume identification. Here, we present the Methane Analysis and Plume Localization with EMIT (MAPL-EMIT) model, an end-to-end vision transformer framework that leverages the complete radiance spectrum from the Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation (EMIT) instrument to jointly retrieve methane enhancements across all pixels within a scene. This approach brings together spectral information with spatial context to significantly lower detection limits. MAPL-EMIT simultaneously supports enhancement quantification, plume delineation, and source localization, even for overlapping plumes. The model was trained on 3.6 million physics-based synthetic plumes injected into global EMIT radiance data. Synthetic evaluation confirms the model's ability to identify plumes with high recall and precision and to capture weaker plumes relative to existing matched-filter approaches. On real-world benchmarks, MAPL-EMIT captures 84% of known hand-annotated NASA-L2B plume complexes across a test set of 1084 EMIT granules, while capturing roughly 1.5 times as many plausible plumes compared to human analysts. Further verification against coincident airborne data, top-emitting landfills, and controlled release experiments confirms the model's ability to identify previously uncaptured sources. By incorporating model-generated metrics such as spectral fit scores and estimated noise levels, the framework can limit false-positives. Overall, MAPL-EMIT enables high-throughput implementation on the full EMIT data catalog, shifting methane monitoring to a rapid, scalable paradigm for global plume mapping at the facility scale.
