burn scar · score 0.858 · Sentinel-2BPhysics checks
B12 dimmed 9.7%, but visible bands changed 10.7% too: a surface change, not methane.
- B12 dimmed 9.7% (more than 1%)
- B11 changed 7.5%, as much as B12
- Visible and near-infrared changed 10.7%, more than half of B12
- Plume lies 63° from the wind (more than 45°)
Emission rate
Rejected as methane: no emission rate is reported for surface change.

Emissions
No T1 or T2 event at this site.
No T1 event, so no annual estimate.
Screening-grade satellite estimate: confirm with a hyperspectral satellite, an OGI drone or a ground survey before enforcement or carbon crediting.
Detection and limits
Steady emission above 5 t/h is ruled out (95%).
Over dense Indian landfills a single pass catches about 25–35% of plumes of 10 t/h or more.
Control point: 0 flags in 68 passes · p vs control 0.125
Screening-grade satellite estimate: confirm with a hyperspectral satellite, an OGI drone or a ground survey before enforcement or carbon crediting.
