The authors report on methane measurements made on discharge from a landfill. Using a portable instrument they were able to measure discharge in the plume from the landfill, and by means of diffusive discharge models, infer the release rate from the landfill. Methane is an important trace gas in the atmosphere, and its anthropogenic sources appear to be having an impact on atmospheric concentrations. However work still remains to be done to quantify the source terms for known methane sources.
