Abstract

The stratospheric dust cloud from the 4 April 1982 eruption of El Chichón volcano in southern Mexico was observed to travel completely around the world in a 3-week period. Images from satellites operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration were used to prepare daily maps of the location of the volcanic dust cloud, which is the largest and longest-lasting one so far observed with satellite imagery.

摘要

墨西哥南部埃尔奇孔火山 1982 年 4 月 4 日的喷发形成的平流层尘云在 3 周内完成了环球旅行。美国国家海洋和大气管理局运营的卫星拍摄的图像被用于制作尘云位置的每日地图，这是迄今为止利用卫星图像观测到的最大、持续时间最长的尘云。
