In 2018 we measured the CH4 emissions of Munich Oktoberfest, the world\u2019s largest folk festival, using in-situ measurements combined with a Gaussian plume dispersion model. Oktoberfest is a potential source for CH4 as a high amount of natural gas for cooking and heating is used.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wjst.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/screen-18.png\" data-rel=\"key-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13964\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wjst.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/screen-18.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1166\" height=\"584\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wjst.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/screen-18.png 1166w, https:\/\/www.wjst.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/screen-18-620x311.png 620w, https:\/\/www.wjst.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/screen-18-768x385.png 768w, https:\/\/www.wjst.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/screen-18-998x500.png 998w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1166px) 100vw, 1166px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I believe this is a better proposal for the Ig Nobel Prize <a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/scholar_lookup?hl=en&amp;volume=360&amp;publication_year=2002&amp;pages=1792&amp;journal=Lancet&amp;author=Wjst+M&amp;title=Benign+paroxysmal+positional+vertigo+relief+on+a+roller+coaster\">than my own\u00a0 Lancet letter<\/a> about the Octoberfest.<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"bottom-note\">\n  <span class=\"mod1\">CC-BY-NC Science Surf , accessed 29.04.2026<\/span>\n <\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maybe this paper has a serious background but this what the Ig committee really\u00a0 wants &#8211; making people laugh, and then think &#8220;Methane Emissions from the Munich Oktoberfest&#8221; in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics.
