Short summary
This work presents a new simplified ground-based thermal infrared (TIR) system capable of detecting and retrieving volcanic emissions during both the day and the night. Knowing the location of the instrument and the crater, it is possible to compute the geometry (height and thickness) of a volcanic plume. Furthermore, thanks to a specific filter positioned in front of one of the TIR cameras, it is possible to compute the sulfur dioxide (SO2) content emitted by the volcano at a safe distance from the vent.
