Plume characterization using synchronized measurements of gas composition, wind direction, and wind speed

An integrated sensing system comprising:

• a movable orientation device configured to dynamically position the movable orientation device based at least in part on receiving turbulent air-flow;
• and
• a gas sensor coupled to the movable orientation device;
• wherein the gas sensor comprises a recognition element configured to detect a chemical in a plume;
• wherein the movable orientation device is configured to perform a synchronized sensing operation comprising:
• based at least in part on the movable orientation device receiving the turbulent air-flow, moving the movable orientation device to dynamically maintain a predetermined orientation of the movable orientation device relative to a direction of the turbulent air-flow;
• wherein the predetermined orientation comprises positioning the recognition element of the gas sensor in a path of the turbulent air-flow to expose the recognition element to a turbulent-air-flow impacted plume comprising the plume moving in the path under influence of the turbulent air-flow.
