Summary

This Data Release contains continuous gravity records from two instruments on Kīlauea Volcano, Hawaiʻi: the HOVL gravimeter, located on the east rim of Halemaʻumaʻu Crater directly above the 2008-2018 summit eruptive vent, and the PUOC gravimeter, located on northern rim of Puʻu ʻŌʻō crater on Kīlauea’s East Rift Zone. Both instruments were collocated with GNSS stations. The HOVL gravimeter was installed in 2010 and operated until 2018, when it was destroyed by summit collapse. The PUOC gravimeter was installed in 2013 and operated until 2018, when it was removed following the cessation of eruptive activity at Puʻu ʻŌʻō. Although both gravimeters have data gaps of varying lengths owing to equipment outages, the data provided new insights [...]

Purpose

Continuous gravity data from Kīlauea can indicate subtle changes in mass over timescales of seconds to days. Such changes may be related to variations in volcanic activity—for example, changes in lava levels within eruptive vents or subsurface magmatic intrusions. Continuous gravity data therefore constitute an important volcano monitoring tool, providing insights into volcanic processes and hazards and informing interpretations of volcanic activity.
