  Boundary Layer Crystallization in a Basaltic Magma Chamber: Evidence from Rishiri Volcano, Northern Japan
The evolution of basaltic magma by mushy boundary layer processes in a magma chamber is documented for an alkali basalt (Kutsugata lava) from Rishiri Volcano, northern Japan, on the basis of zoning patterns of plagioclase phenocrysts and their spatial distribution in the lava.
Rishiri is an island stratovolcano located to the west of Hokkaido, north Japan (Fig.
It is a Quaternary volcano belonging to the Kurile arc and is characterized by the coexistence of alkali basalt and calc-alkaline andesite (Kobayashi, 1987).

We show that the model reproduces the chemical environment at Rishiri Island reasonably well, and that the seasonal cycles of O3, CO, NOy species, and VOCs are well predicted.
The seasonal roles of chemistry and transport in controlling O3 and PAN are revealed by examining production/destruction and import/export/deposition fluxes in the boundary layer over the Rishiri region.
