Volcanic SO2 data derived from limb viewing satellites for the lower stratosphere from 1990 to 2019, and from nadir viewing satellites for the troposphere
This directory contains volcanic SO2 data derived from limb viewing satellites for the lower stratosphere from 1990 to 2019. The usage of the data is described in Timmreck et al., (2018), datasets VolcDB1
Hybrid vertical grid for spectral resolution T63L90 of volc_SO2-3D-vmr-perturbation-1990-2019.nc. Levels are defined by lev(x,y,z)=hyam(z)+hybm(z)*apsave(x,y), in Pa (apsave annual average of surface pressure
Fluxes from outgassing volcanoes in the troposphere (below 210hPa), taken from
AEROCOM (Diehl et al., 2012). Caution, filled with odd climatology after 2009, monthly (subset beginning Jan. 1990).[kg/(m3s)]
Integrated SO2 mass injected (in kt), SAGE, ENVISAT and OSIRIS period (update of VolcDB1), peak altitudes and latitudes of volcanic plumes, longitudes of volcanoes. Dates refer to main eruption time, not
