A multi-sensor satellite assessment of SO2 emissions from the 2012-13 eruption of Plosky Tolbachik volcano, Kamchatka
Prolonged basaltic effusive eruptions at high latitudes can have significant atmospheric and environmental impacts, but can be challenging to observe in winter conditions. Here, we use multi-sensor satellite data to assess sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions from the 2012–2013 eruption of Plosky Tolbachi...
