Climatic Impact of the A.D. 1783 Asama (Japan) Eruption was Minimal: Evidence from the GISP2 Ice Core
Assessing the climatic impact of the A.D. 1783 eruption of Mt. Asama, Japan, is complicated by the concurrent eruption of Laki, Iceland. Estimates of the stratospheric loading of H2SO4 for the A.D. 1108 eruption of Asama derived from the SO42− time series in the GISP2 Greenland ice core indicate a l...
