This overview paper highlights the successes of the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on
board the Aura satellite spanning a period of nearly 14 years. Data from OMI has been used …

Satellite instruments have been providing measurements of global volcanic emissions of
sulfur dioxide (SO 2) since 1978, based on observations in the ultraviolet (UV), infrared (IR) …

The growing problem of changing environmental conditions caused by climate
destabilization is well recognized as one of the defining issues of our time. The root problem …

Southeast Asia (SEA) hosts one of the most complex aerosol systems in the world, with
convoluted meteorological scales, sharp geographic and socioeconomic features, high …

Over the last four decades, space-based nadir observations of sulfur dioxide (SO2) proved
to be a key data source for assessing the environmental impacts of volcanic emissions, for …

Despite its relatively minor abundance in magmas (compared with H2O and CO2), sulfur
degassing from volcanoes is of tremendous significance. It can exert substantial influence …

Abstract Information about reported encounters of aircraft with volcanic ash clouds from
1953 through 2009 has been compiled to document the nature and scope of risks to aviation …

Volcanic eruptions can cause significant disruption to society, and numerical models are
crucial for forecasting the dispersion of erupted material. Here we assess the skill and …

Thermal infrared sounding of sulphur dioxide (SO 2) from space has gained appreciation as
a valuable complement to ultraviolet sounding. There are several strong absorption bands of …

Since the fall of 2004, the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) has been providing global
monitoring of volcanic SO 2 emissions, hel** to understand their climate impacts and to …
