Summary

From 14 May to 6 October 2016 measurements of gas and heat emissions were made at Bison Flat, an acid-sulfate, vapor-dominated area (0.04-km2) of Norris Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, WY. An eddy covariance system measured half-hourly CO2, H2O and sensible and latent heat fluxes, air temperature and pressure, wind speed and direction, soil moisture and rainfall. A Multi-GAS instrument measured (1 Hz frequency) atmospheric H2O, CO2 and H2S volumetric mixing ratios, air pressure, temperature and relative humidity and wind speed and direction. Soil CO2 fluxes and temperature profiles were also measured on a grid using the accumulation chamber method and thermocouple probes, respectively. These data were used to derive hydrothermal [...]

Purpose

The eddy covariance, Multi-GAS and soil CO2 flux and temperature data sets were collected to derive hydrothermal CO2 and heat emission rates for the study area and characterize gas sources and their relationships to meteorological variations. Baseline temporal variations recorded in gas and heat emissions can be used to assess future changes in the context of volcanic unrest. See the associated publication in the Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research for more information.
