Apparatus and associated methods relate to height-differentiated gas detection sensors attached to one or more tethers suspended from an unmanned air vehicle (UAV) platform. In an illustrative example, each of the gas sensors, for example, may communicate gas detection signal information to a signal processing module onboard the UAV platform. Each of the tethers, for example, may provide a data channel from the sensor to the signal processing module. Some tethers, for example, may supply operating power to one or more of the gas detection sensors. The UAV platform may advantageously deploy one or more low-cost, disposable, tethered gas detection sensors into vertically confined spaces (e.g., chimneys, vents), or along a length of pipeline, for example. The sensors may be deployed at a minimum predetermined height providing separation from the UAV to attenuate prop-wash with respect to the sensors.
