    Description: Ground-based thermal imaging is becoming an increasingly important tool for volcano surveillance, however the impact of volcanic plumes on quantitative measurements of surface temperature has not been previously evaluated. Here we use a radiative transfer model to simulate gas (primarily H2O and SO2) and aerosol absorptions over the path between a thermal camera and a heat source on Stromboli volcano, Italy. A FTIR spectrometer was used to quantify path amounts of gases likely to be encountered when making thermal measurements of the active craters. We find that when using a camera sensitive from 7.5 to 13 mm, underestimates of 400 K may be produced when viewing a source with an actual temperature of 1200 K. Cameras that operate between 3 and 5 mm are somewhat less susceptible to these errors.

    Description: traccia nella troposfera, tende ad accumularsi nei processi biologici che seguono la sua deposizione. Il suo lungo tempo di residenza in atmosfera (circa 1 anno) combinato con la sua elevata tossicità, rendono tale elemento di primaria importanza per l’impatto ambientale, soprattutto nelle aree di maggiore emissione. Le emissioni di mercurio da aree vulcaniche attive sono considerate una delle principali sorgenti di mercurio verso l’atmosfera terrestre, insieme con le emissioni antropogeniche legate all’attività mineraria per l’estrazione del cinabro. L’entità del contributo vulcanico a scala regionale e globale rimane tuttavia altamente incerto. Le emissioni vulcaniche possono essere ricche in mercurio elementare gassoso (Hg0), mercurio gassoso reattivo (HgII) presente soprattutto come solfuro ed altre forme di mercurio che devono essere ancora determinate (Symonds et al., 1992; Nicholson, 1993; Barnes & Seward, 1997). L’Etna rappresenta una delle maggiori sorgenti potenzialmente in grado di fornire grandi quantità di Hg in atmosfera, grazie alle sue notevoli emissioni gassose dal plume craterico e dai fianchi (e.g., Ferrara et al., 2000). A partire dalla metà di Novembre 2005 si è reso disponibile un analizzatore portatile della concentrazione di mercurio in fase gassosa Lumex RA-915+ (Figura 1), in visione temporanea grazie all’accordo tra il distributore per l’Italia (Loccioni srl, Ancona) e la sezione di Catania dell’INGV ottenuto su interessamento personale di M. Burton. L’analizzatore si basa sul principio della spettrometria differenziale Zeeman di assorbimento atomico, ed utilizza la modulazione ad alta frequenza della polarizzazione della luce. Lo strumento è in grado di misurare concentrazioni di Hg in aria o in fase gassosa da 0 a 20.000 ng m-3 nella modalità a cella multi-percorso (limite di rilevabilità = 2 ng m-3), oppure da 500 a 200.000 ng m-3 nella modalità a cella singolo-percorso (limite di rilevabilità = 500 ng m-3). La misura viene effettuata mediante aspirazione del campione di aria o di gas all’interno dello strumento attraverso un tubo che, nel caso di gas del suolo o gorgogliante in acqua, viene opportunamente collegato, rispettivamente, ad una sonda inserita nel suolo o ad un imbuto posto sul punto di campionamento. Nel corso degli ultimi due mesi lo strumento è stato utilizzato sull’Etna per misure di Hg nell’aria in varie zone del vulcano, in gas del suolo emessi in due siti ubicati presso Santa Venerina e presso Paternò, in gas fumarolici presso la Torre del Filosofo e in gas gorgoglianti emessi dalle polle d’acqua delle Salinelle dello Stadio di Paternò. Purtroppo, le spesso avverse condizioni meteorologiche che hanno caratterizzato questo periodo, hanno impedito un più esteso utilizzo dell’analizzatore, così come era stato inizialmente preventivato

    Description: Volcanic gas emissions from fumaroles on the rim of La Fossa crater, Vulcano Island, Italy, were measured simultaneously using direct sampling (for H2O, CO2, total sulfur, HCl and HF), filter packs (for SO2, HCl, HF) and short-path active-mode FTIR measurements (for H2O, CO2,SO2, HCl and HF) in an intercomparison study in May 2002. The results show that Cl/F ratios were in good agreement between all three methods, and that FTIR and direct sampling determined comparable proportions of CO2 and H2O. Amounts of total S observed in direct sampling data were approximately double the amounts of SO2 measured with filter packs and FTIR. This difference could be attributed either to the fact FTIR and filter packs do not measure reduced sulfur species (e.g., H2S) or to sublimation of elemental S upon exit from the fumarole, after collection by direct sampling but before detection with FTIR and filter packs.

    Description: Effusive activity at Stromboli is uncommon, and the 2002–2003 flank eruption gave us the opportunity to observe and analyze a number of complex volcanic processes. In particular, the use of a handheld thermal camera during the eruption allowed us to monitor the volcano even in difficult weather and operating conditions. Regular helicopter-borne surveys with the thermal camera throughout the eruption have significantly improved (1) mapping of active lava flows; (2) detection of new cracks, landslide scars, and obstructions forming within and on the flanks of active craters; (3) observation of active lava flow field features, such as location of new vents, tube systems, tumuli, and hornitos; (4) identification of active vent migration along the Sciara del Fuoco; (5) monitoring of crater's inner morphology and maximum temperature, revealing magma level changes within the feeding conduit; and (6) detection of lava flow field endogenous growth. Additionally, a new system developed by A. J. L. Harris and others has been applied to our thermal data, allowing daily calculation of effusion rate. These observations give us new insights on the mechanisms controlling the volcanic system.

    Description: Continuous soil radon monitoring was carried out near the Southeast Crater (SEC) of Mt. Etna during the 10-day July 2006 Strombolian-effusive eruption. This signal was compared with simultaneously acquired volcanic tremor and thermal radiance data. The onset of explosive activity and a lava fountaining episode were preceded by some hours with increases in radon soil emission by 4–5 orders of magnitude, which we interpret as precursors. Minor changes in eruptive behavior did not produce significant variations in the monitored parameters. The remarkably high radon concentrations we observed are unprecedented in the literature. We interpret peaks in radon activity as due primarily to microfracturing of uranium-bearing rock. These observations suggest that radon measurements in the summit area of Etna are strongly controlled by the state of stress within the volcano and demonstrate the usefulness of radon data acquisition before and during eruptions.

    Description: SO2 flux is widely monitored on active volcanoes as it gives a window into the hidden, subsurface magma dynamics. We present here a new approach to SO2 flux monitoring using ultraviolet imaging of the volcanic plume through carefully chosen filters to produce images of SO2 column amount. The SO2 camera heralds a breakthrough in both our ability to measure SO2 flux at unprecedented frequencies (2 Hz) and at unprecedented accuracy, thanks to the application of correlation techniques to determine wind speed directly from the images and the ability to measure the whole profile simultaneously. In this paper we detail the commercially available pieces required to construct the SO2 camera, introduce a retrieval scheme to determine SO2 amounts from the images and present results from a field campaign in November 2005 on Sakurajima volcano, Japan.

    Description: Two-dimensional cross sections of the sulphur dioxide (SO2) distribution in the volcanic gas plume of Mt. Etna were reconstructed using tomographic techniques. The data for these projections were generated by a network of five automated scanning spectrometers, positioned on the flanks of the volcano. These measure slant-column amounts of SO2 at 105 different angles, every four minutes. Stable wind conditions allow the plume to be monitored on 82% of days. A time-series of plume cross sections was computed, revealing the potential of this method to track variations in plume position and structure on timescales of minutes to hours, a result of potential importance for air traffic and civil defence in case of eruption, when copious amounts of fine ash can be transported.
