Variation in SO 2 emissions from Halemaumau crater, Kilauea volcano, Hawaii is analyzed using a set of techniques known as exploratory data analysis. SO 2 flux was monitored using a correlation spectrometer. A total of 302 measurements were made on 73 days over a 90‐day period. The mean flux was 171 t/d with a standard deviation of 52 t/d. A significant increase in flux occurs during increased seismic activity beneath the caldera. SO 2 flux prior to the this change varies in a systematic way and may be related to variation in the tidal modulation envelope.
