Abstract
Volcanic eruptions are events that rapidly and suddenly disperse gases and fine particles into the atmosphere, a process most conveniently studied from the synoptic satellite perspective, where remote sensing offers a practical tool for spatial and temporal measurements. Meteorological satellites offer approximately 20 years of archived data, which can be analysed for measurements of masses of SO2 and fine volcanic ash in spatial two–dimensional arrays and integrated with other meteorological data. The satellite data offer a tool to study volcano–atmosphere interactions in a quantitative way. They provide information of unique value for understanding the fate and transport of fine silicates with significant health hazards and for addressing the problem of volcanic cloud hazards to jet aircraft. Studies of satellite data have demonstrated the following.
