Rate of sulphur dioxide emission from Erebus volcano, Antarctica, December 1983
Mount Erebus is the principal source of volcanic emanations to the atmosphere in Antarctica. The rate of emission of SO2 from Mt Erebus was determined to be 230±90 tonnes day-1 during an 11-day period in December 1983. This is a more accurate and much higher estimate than previous ones. Because of t...
