Abstract
The dynamic behavior of neutral gases emitted from lunar surface sources is investigated. Pressure transients to be expected from several types of possible lunar surface sources are constructed. An approximate method is developed to estimate the source-sensor separation distance and the amount of effluent release. The case for which the source location and effluent molecular weight can be determined from ancillary data is discussed. It is shown that, if such data are available, pressure transients detected by either Apollo lunar surface experiment package ion spectrometers or cold cathode gages can be used to determine the release rate and the total amount of effluent release from the source.
