Unexpected self-lofting and dynamical confinement of volcanic plumes: the Raikoke 2019 case
Scientific Reports, 2022 Recent research has provided evidence of the self-lofting capacity of smoke aerosols in the stratosphere and their self-confinement by persistent anticyclones, which prolongs their atmospheric residence time and radiative effects.
