Detection rate by background behind leak location. See text for definition of background types. Since leaks with sky background tended to be larger those with other backgrounds, data for this analysis limits includes only test configurations with an emission rate ≤8 scfh (3.7 slpm). Ground backgrounds have lower detection rates than sky or equipment backgrounds, likely due to the gas and ground having similar temperatures, and the increase visual noise from moving vegetation.
