Concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) are major emitters of both ammonia (NH) and methane (CH). However, current emission inventories have limited temporal resolution and use data derived from a small subset of farms. To this end, we deployed three mobile laboratories during the DISCOVER-AQ campaign in summer 2014 with a focus on northeastern Colorado.

- Atmospheric emissions from animal husbandry impact air quality and climate but vary greatly based on livestock type, management practices, and time of day or year.! -
- A mobile laboratory measured emissions of ammonia, methane, and nitrous oxide from four concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) in northeastern Colorado, revealing a consistent diurnal pattern in the ammonia to methane emissions ratio, peaking during midday.! -
- The average ammonia to methane enhancement ratio of 0.17 across all CAFOs aligns with state averages and can help differentiate emissions from feedlots compared to other sources, aiding in more accurate emission modeling and inventories.!
