Stratospheric Loading of Sulfur from Explosive Volcanic Eruptions1
This paper is an attempt to measure our understanding of volcano/atmosphere interactions by comparing a box model of potential volcanogenic aerosol production and removal in the stratosphere with the stratospheric aerosol optical depth over the period of 1979 to 1994. Model results and observed data are in good agreement both in magnitude and removal rates for the two largest eruptions, El Chic...
متن کاملMass-independent sulfur isotopic compositions in stratospheric volcanic eruptions.
The observed mass-independent sulfur isotopic composition (Delta33S) of volcanic sulfate from the Agung (March 1963) and Pinatubo (June 1991) eruptions recorded in the Antarctic snow provides a mechanism for documenting stratospheric events. The sign of Delta33S changes over time from an initial positive component to a negative value. Delta33S is created during photochemical oxidation of sulfur...
متن کاملPhase equilibria trigger for explosive volcanic eruptions
[1] A mechanism for explosive volcanic eruptions based on multicomponent phase equilibria modelling of four explosive volcanic systems is proposed. In each system, either isochoric or isobaric crystallization, where either crystals or crystals and exsolved fluid are chemically fractionated from melt, leads inevitably to near-solidus dynamical instability culminating in violent explosive eruptio...
متن کاملThe frequency of explosive volcanic eruptions in Southeast Asia
There are ~750 active and potentially active volcanoes in Southeast Asia. Ash from eruptions of volcanic explosivity index 3 (VEI 3) and smaller pose mostly local hazards while eruptions of VEI ≥ 4 could disrupt trade, travel, and daily life in large parts of the region. We classify Southeast Asian volcanoes into five groups, using their morphology and, where known, their eruptive history and d...
متن کاملThe Generation of Internal Waves by Explosive Volcanic Eruptions
Recent observations have shown that explosive volcanic eruptions can generate low frequency surface pressure signals that are observable with microbarographs, and can be interpreted as atmospheric internal waves (Baines & Sacks 2013). Some examples from the Caribbean island of Montserrat are shown in Figure 1. Suitably interpreted, it is possible that these observations may give information abo...
