Although the 2010 volcanic eruptions of Eyjafjallajökull did not exert a large climate forcing, several features of their emissions favored weaker aerosol cooling or stronger warming than commonly attributed to volcanic events. These features include a high ratio of fine ash to SO 2 , occurrence nea...
