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 …

Interest in stratospheric aerosol and its role in climate have increased over the last decade
due to the observed increase in stratospheric aerosol since 2000 and the potential for …

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) …

Volcanic eruptions are common, with more than 50 volcanic eruptions in the United States
alone in the past 31 years. These eruptions can have devastating economic and social …

Observations of volcanoes from space are a critical component of volcano monitoring, but
we lack quantitative integrated models to interpret them. The atmospheric sulfur yields of …

Determining SO2 emission time-series from explosive eruptions can provide important
insights into the driving magmatic processes, however accurate measurements are difficult …

Uncertainty in the physicochemical and optical properties of volcanic ash particles creates
errors in the detection and modeling of volcanic ash clouds and in quantification of their …

The 2014 Bárðarbunga rifting event in Iceland resulted in a 6‐month long eruption at
Holuhraun. This eruption was characterized by high lava discharge rate and significant gas …

Today, volcanic sulfur emissions into the atmosphere are measured spectroscopically from
the ground, air and space. For eruptions prior to the satellite era, two main sulfur proxies are …

The presence of exsolved gas bubbles influences measurements of both volcanic surface
deformation and SO 2 emissions. In a closed-system, exsolved volatiles remain within the …
