Abstract
THE eruptive activity of JulyâAugust 1977 of Mt Etna consisted of four separate, short eruptive episodes: 16â22 July; 5â6 August; 14 August; 24 August. The rate of SO2 emission during these eruptions was monitored using a remote-sensing correlation spectrometer. These data suggest that fluctuations in the SO2 emission rate provide a means for predicting eruptions of Etna.
