成像光谱仪越来越多地发布源解析甲烷羽流产品，其中羽流掩膜、积分质量增强（IME）、羽流长度、排放率和不确定性在物理和算法上相互关联。利用来自27个场景的63条EMIT衍生的碳映射器羽流记录，研究表明已发布的标量不能唯一地约束羽流边界。遗传算法（GA）集合以已发布的IME和羽流长度为条件，使这种等效性更加明确。PlumeQuant根据既定惯例从分布式产品组件中重新计算IME、羽流长度、排放率和五项不确定性，并评估四种掩膜表示。CM类掩膜在不访问参考掩膜或已发布数量的情况下为每个羽流生成，其设置在与场景不相交的44个羽流开发分割上固定一次。它再现已发布的IME时中位数差异为+0.72%，排放率为+0.16%（平均绝对误差为6.98%），与参考掩膜的中位数交并比达到0.843，并匹配已发布的不确定性尺度（中位数比率为1.01）。这些是产品级一致性诊断，用于标记弱、偏移或模糊的羽流以供专家审查。
英文摘要
Imaging spectrometers increasingly distribute source-resolved methane plume products in which the plume mask, integrated mass enhancement (IME), plume length, emission rate, and uncertainty are physically and algorithmically linked. Using 63 EMIT-derived Carbon Mapper plume records from 27 scenes, we show that these published scalar quantities do not uniquely constrain the plume boundary: substantially different yet plausible masks reproduce the same IME, plume length, and emission rate. Genetic-algorithm (GA) ensembles conditioned on the published IME and plume length make this equifinality explicit: the high-confidence core selected by nearly all target-consistent masks covers a median of 13% of the plausible footprint envelope, and ambiguity is largest for weak, low-overlap plumes. The diagnostics come from PlumeQuant, which recomputes IME, plume length, emission rate, and five-term uncertainty from distributed product components under stated conventions and evaluates four mask representations: the distributed reference mask, a transparent Carbon Mapper-informed analogue (CM-like), the GA ensemble, and optional expert edits. The CM-like mask is generated per plume without access to the reference mask or published quantities, with settings fixed once on a scene-disjoint 44-plume development split. It reproduced published IME with +0.72% median difference and emission rate with +0.16% (6.98% mean absolute), reached 0.843 median intersection-over-union against the reference masks, and matched the published uncertainty scale (median ratio 1.01). Holdout mean absolute errors were 7.6% (IME), 9.5% (length), and 6.1% (rate). These are product-level consistency diagnostics, not independent validation. They flag weak, offset, or ambiguous plumes for expert review.
