[null,null,null,"Sommario/riassunto","Recent development of accurate instruments for measuring greenhouse gas concentrations and the ability to mount them in ground-based vehicles has provided an opportunity to make temporally and spatially resolved measurements in the vicinity of suspected source locations, and for subsequently estimating the source location and strength.^The basic approach of using downwind atmospheric measurements in an inversion methodology to predict the source strength and location is an ill-posed problem and results in large uncertainty.^In this report, we present a new measurement methodology for reducing the uncertainty in predicting source strength from downwind measurements associated with inverse modeling.^In order to demonstrate the approach, an inversion methodology built around a plume dispersion model is developed.^Synthetic data derived from an assumed source distribution is used to compare and contrast the predicted source strength and location.^The effect of introducing various levels of noise in the synthetic data or uncertainty in meteorological variables on the inversion methodology is studied.^Results indicate that the use of noisy measurement data had a small effect on the total predicted "]
