Continuous radon monitoring during seven years of volcanic unrest at Campi Flegrei caldera (Italy)

Abstract This is a seven-year study (1/7/2011-31/12/2017) of radon monitoring at two sites of Campi Flegrei caldera (Neaples, Southern Italy) that in the last 70 years experienced repeated phases of volcanic unrest. The sites are equipped with devices for radon detection, based on the spectrometry a...
