We report here on the first record of carbon dioxide gas emission rates from a volcano, captured at ≈1Hz. These data were acquired with a novel technique, based on the integration of UV camera observations (to measure SO2 emission rates) and field portable gas analyser readings of plume CO2/SO2 rati...
