Improved instruments for volcanic plume observation for monitoring purpose: Solfatara and Vulcano island preliminary results

Abstract

This report describes the methodology, instruments and findings of the field campaign which took place at the beginning of September 2015 in Solfatara (Naples) and Vulcano Island. The campaign was held in order to test miniaturized instruments developed for NASA under Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Science (ROSES), and was part of a framework of monitoring activities on active volcanoes. It followed a first campaign held in Naples on the 30th and 31th October 2014 and described in Silvestri et al., [2015]. In the first campaign miniaturized multi-gas instruments for the CO2, H2S and SO2 measurements were...
