Real time retrieval of volcanic cloud particles and SO<sub>2</sub> by satellite using an improved simplified approach

Volcanic plume removal (VPR) is a procedure developed to retrieve the ash optical depth, effective radius and mass, and sulfur dioxide mass contained in a volcanic cloud from the thermal radiance at 8.7, 11, and 12 µm. It is based on an estimation of a virtual image representing what the sensor woul...
