• We address the problem of estimating the distance to a gas source using concentration measurements.

• The difficulty in a real-world environment is that the gas distribution is turbulent, i.e. the concentration field does not have smooth gradients.

• Previous experiments showed that gas sensor readings recorded during a rotation maneouvre can be discriminated according to the distance from the gas source using machine learning techniques.

• We investigate possible indicators of gas source proximity in the learned models. A correlation analysis showed that the response variance was a better indicator than the average response.
