Integrating retrievals of volcanic cloud characteristics from satellite remote sensors: a summary

Volcanic eruptions are events that rapidly and suddenly disperse gases and fine particles into the atmosphere, a process most conveniently studied from the synoptic satellite perspective, where remote sensing offers a practical tool for spatial and temporal measurements. Meteorological satellites of...

Description
Summary:Volcanic eruptions are events that rapidly and suddenly disperse gases and fine particles into the atmosphere, a process most conveniently studied from the synoptic satellite perspective, where remote sensing offers a practical tool for spatial and temporal measurements. Meteorological satellites offer approximately 20 years of archived data, which can be analysed for measurements of masses of SO
