Evaluation of SO2 emission from the 1982 eruption of El Chichon by glaciological and satellite methods
The SO_2 emission at the time of the 1982 eruption of El Chichon in Mexico was estimated by a glaciological method based on sulfate ion concentration and bomb-produced total β activity in snow collected in Antarctica. The glaciological estimate of the SO_2 emission is 17±1 Mt SO_2,somewhat greater t...
