Phase 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 کاملDynamic winter climate response to large tropical volcanic eruptions
[1] We have analyzed the mean climate response pattern following large tropical volcanic eruptions back to the beginning of the 17th century using a combination of proxybased reconstructions and modern instrumental records of cold-season surface air temperature. Warm anomalies occur throughout northern Eurasia, while cool anomalies cover northern Africa and the Middle East, extending all the wa...
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...
متن کاملInjection of gases into the stratosphere by explosive volcanic eruptions
[1] Explosive eruptions can inject large amounts of volcanic gases into the stratosphere. These gases may be scavenged by hydrometeors within the eruption column, and high uncertainties remain regarding the proportion of volcanic gases, which eventually reach the stratosphere. These are caused by the difficulties of directly sampling explosive volcanic eruption columns and by the lack of labora...
متن کاملInterannual variation in methane emissions from tropical wetlands triggered by repeated El Niño Southern Oscillation.
Methane (CH4 ) emissions from tropical wetlands contribute 60%-80% of global natural wetland CH4 emissions. Decreased wetland CH4 emissions can act as a negative feedback mechanism for future climate warming and vice versa. The impact of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on CH4 emissions from wetlands remains poorly quantified at both regional and global scales, and El Niño events are exp...
