Author Correction: US oil and gas system emissions from nearly one million aerial site measurements

Corrections were made to the HTML and PDF versions and to the Supplementary Information. The main results, conclusions, and interpretations of the data remain unchanged. Updated Supplementary Information Section S15 provides details on the errors corrected and their effects on the analysis. Data processing and methods corrections include recomputing Carbon Mapper source coverage using flightline polygons and source coordinates instead of pre-computed coverage computed differently. Transition point computation for well sites was updated to compare cumulative emissions distributions of simulated well site emissions with aerially detected sources rather than plumes. Transition point computation for midstream was also updated, with additional details continuing beyond the provided excerpt.

"In the version of the article initially published, several errors were present and have been corrected in the HTML and PDF versions of the article and Supplementary Information. The main results, conclusions, and our interpretations of the data remain unchanged. See the new Supplementary Information Section S15 for a more detailed description of the errors corrected and the resulting effects on the analysis."

"Overflight count correction: We previously used pre-computed source coverage data for some Carbon Mapper campaigns that was computed differently than was required for our analysis. We have re-computed Carbon Mapper source coverage based on flightline polygons and source coordinates."

"Transition point computation, well sites: The updated version now correctly compares the cumulative emissions distribution of simulated well site emissions with that of aerially detected sources (rather than plumes) when computing the transition point."
