title: Remote helicopter-borne detector for searching of methane leaks.
abstract: Measurements of the content of various molecular impurities in the ambient air using helicopter- and aircraft-borne systems represent an extremely urgent challenge. In this respect, of special interest are the devices that that provide leakage monitoring in gas lines in order to prevent emergencies. In the paper results of the tunable diode laser-based instrument development and testing are presented.
