description The detection ability of SO<sub>2</sub> cameras has been improved effectively, while the calibration is still the main factor that limits their measurement accuracy. This paper presents a nonlinear calibration theory by considering the effect of light dilution due to the path radiance as well as the dependence of plume aerosol on scattering wavelength. This new spectral calibration method is used to retrieve the SO<sub>2</sub> column density and emission rate of the Etna volcano. Results show that, compared with the DOAS calibration approach, the inversion error can be reduced by 13% if the new spectral calibration is adopted. The superiority of the proposed method will become more obvious for long-distance detection of optically thick plumes.
