Improved estimation of volcanic SO<sub>2</sub> injections from satellite observations and Lagrangian transport simulations: the 2019 Raikoke eruption
Abstract:Abstract. Monitoring and modeling of volcanic plumes is important for understanding the impact of volcanic activity on climate and for practical concerns, such as aviation safety or public health. Here, we applied the Lagrangian transport model Massive-Parallel Trajectory Calculations (MPTRAC) to estimate the SO2 injections into the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere by the eruption of the Raikoke volcano (48.29° N, 153.25° E) in June 2019 and its subsequent long-range transport and dispersion. First, we… Show more
