説明

<jats:p> Magmatic carbon dioxide (CO <jats:sub>2</jats:sub> ) degassing has been documented before the 31 March 2000 eruption of Usu volcano, Hokkaido, Japan. Six months before the eruption, an increase in CO <jats:sub>2</jats:sub> flux was detected on the summit caldera, from 120 (September 1998) to 340 metric tons per day (September 1999), followed by a sudden decrease to 39 metric tons per day in June 2000, 3 months after the eruption. The change in CO <jats:sub>2</jats:sub> flux and seismic observations suggests that before the eruption, advective processes controlled gas migration toward the surface. The decrease in flux after the eruption at the summit caldera could be due to a rapid release of CO <jats:sub>2</jats:sub> during the eruption from ascending dacitic dikes spreading away from the magma chamber beneath the caldera. </jats:p>
