EARLINET observations related to volcanic eruptions (2000-2010)

Aerosols originating from volcanic emissions have an impact on the climate:

sulfate and ash particles from volcanic emissions reflect solar radiation, act as

cloud condensation and ice nuclei, and modify the radiative properties and lifetime

of clouds, and therefore influence the precipitation cycle. These volcanic particles

can also have an impact on environmental conditions and could be very dangerous for

aircraft in flight.

In addition to the routine measurements, further EARLINET observations are devoted to

monitor volcano eruptions. The EARLINET volcanic dataset includes extended

observations related to two different volcanoes in Europe Mt. Etna (2001 and

2002 eruptions), and the Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland (April - May 2010

eruption). This dataset includes also recent events of volcanic eruptions in the

North Pacific region (2008-2010) that emitted sulfuric acid droplets into the upper

troposphere - lower stratosphere (UTLS) height region of the northern hemisphere.

The EARLINET volcanic observations in the UTLS are complemented by the long-term

stratospheric aerosol observations collected in the Stratosphere category.
