Abstract: | The CO2 and H2S concentration in the Solfatara atmosphere has been measured. The concentrations of both gases are higher neraby the more active areas and decrease away from them. A sharp horizontal and vertical gradient of the CO2 content has been recognized.Such gradient is assumed to result from a diffusion of gas from the ground to the atmosphere.The total output of CO2 has been computed based on a turbulent diffusion model. The obtained value is in good agreement with previously abserved values (Italiano
et al., 1984).The feasibility of monitoring the atmosphere of Solfatara for either gas hazard and surveillance of volcanic activity has also been evaluated. |
