A portable mass spectrometer system (also known as miniRUEDI; Brennwald et al., 2016) was installed at a drinking water pumping station close to Mt. Fuji to analyze the gas composition in the extracted water. Previously, such an analytical setup has been shown to allow a reliable and robust continuous on-site monitoring of gases in environmental (e.g., Giroud et al., 2023) and engineered systems (e.g., Tomonaga et al., 2019).
With this contribution we would like to present the insights delivered by the on-line gas monitoring conducted at Mt. Fuji and stimulate a discussion on the potential of the chosen approach from a hydrological and geochemical perspective.
