Multi-year study of remotely-sensed ammonia emission from fumaroles in the salton sea geothermal field

A multi-year study of ammonia emissions from a recently exposed geothermal fumarole field at the SE edge of the Salton Sea (Southern California) is described. The work makes extensive use of airborne thermal-infrared hyperspectral imagery acquired over the field site.
