Heat and Helium-3 Fluxes from Teide Volcano, Canary Islands, Spain by Mar Alonso, Eleazar Padrón, Hirochika Sumino, Pedro A. Hernández, Gladys V. Melián, María Asensio-Ramos, Fátima Rodríguez, Germán Padilla, Marta García-Merino, Cecilia Amonte, Nemesio M. Pérez

“…During July 2016, the first integrated heat flow, CO2, and 3He emission survey was conducted across 0.5 km2 of the summit cone and crater of Teide volcano, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain. The thermal energy released from Teide summit cone by diffuse degassing was 2.2 MW, and the heat flux calculated through Dawson’s method was 8.1 MW, difference due to the comparison of purely convective areas as the crater with diffusive areas as the flanks of the volcano. …”
