This paper quantifies the tropical stratospheric aerosol content as impacted by volcanic events over the 2013–2019 period. We use global model simulations by the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM) which is part of the Community Earth System

Exploring Io's atmospheric composition with APEX: first measurement of 34SO2 and tentative detection of KCl [PDF]
The composition of Io's tenuous atmosphere is poorly constrained. Only the major species SO2 and a handful of minor species have been positively identified, but a variety of other molecular species should be present, based on thermochemical equilibrium ...

VOLCANO3 – a Miniaturized Chemiluminescence Ozone Monitor for Drone-Based Measurements in Volcanic Plumes [PDF]
High levels of bromine monoxide (BrO) observed in volcanic plumes indicate significant catalytic destruction of tropospheric ozone (O3) at local to regional scales.

Geometric estimation of volcanic eruption column height from GOES-R near-limb imagery – Part 2: Case studies [PDF]
In a companion paper (Horváth et al., 2021), we introduced a new technique to estimate volcanic eruption column height from extremely oblique near-limb geostationary views.

Electrical Charging of Volcanic Plumes
Many explosive terrestrial volcanic eruptions are accompanied by lightning and other atmospheric electrical phenomena. The plumes produced generate large perturbations in the surface atmospheric electric potential gradient and high charge densities have been measured on falling volcanic ash particles.

SO2 depletion in tropospheric volcanic plumes [PDF]
Ground based remote sensing techniques are used to measure volcanic SO2 fluxes in efforts to characterise volcanic activity. As these measurements are made several km from source there is the potential for in‐plume chemical transformation of SO2 to sulphate aerosol (conversion rates are dependent on meteorological conditions), complicating ...

Quantifying the Effect of Wind on Volcanic Plumes: Implications for Plume Modeling
AbstractThe considerable effects that wind can have on estimates of mass eruption rates (MERs) in explosive eruptions based on volcanic plume height are well known but difficult to quantify rigorously. Many explicitly wind‐affected plume models have the additional difficulty that they require the use of centerline heights of bent‐over plumes, a ...

A model for large-scale volcanic plumes on Io: Implications for eruption rates and interactions between magmas and near-surface volatiles. [PDF]
Volcanic plumes deposit magmatic pyroclasts and SO2 frost on the surface of Io. We model the plume activity detected by Galileo at the Pillan and Pele sites from 1996 to 1997 assuming that magmatic eruptions incorporate liquid SO2 from near-surface ...

DNS of compressible multiphase flows through the Eulerian approach [PDF]
In this paper we present three multiphase flow models suitable for the study of the dynamics of compressible dispersed multiphase flows. We adopt the Eulerian approach because we focus our attention to dispersed (concentration smaller than 0.001) and ...

Electrification of volcanic plumes
Volcanic lightning, perhaps the most spectacular consequence of the electrification of volcanic plumes, has been implicated in the origin of life on Earth, and may also exist in other planetary atmospheres. Recent years have seen volcanic lightning detection used as part of a portfolio of developing techniques to monitor volcanic eruptions.
