A comparison of satellite‐and ground‐based measurements of SO2 emissions from Tungurahua volcano, Ecuador

Satellite‐measured SO2 mass loadings and ground‐based measurements of SO2 emission rate are not directly comparable, with ∼40% differences between mean emissions reported by each technique from Tungurahua volcano, Ecuador, during late 2007. Numerical …

Volcano monitoring applications of the Ozone Monitoring Instrument

The Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) is a satellite-based ultraviolet (UV) spectrometer with unprecedented sensitivity to atmospheric sulphur dioxide (SO2) concentrations. Since late 2004, OMI has provided a high-quality SO2 dataset with …

First synoptic analysis of volcanic degassing in Papua New Guinea

We report the first satellite‐based survey of volcanic sulphur dioxide (SO2) degassing in Papua New Guinea, using Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) data. OMI is sensitive to low‐level passive degassing. These observations are useful for volcano …
