Volcanic ash detection with infrared limb sounding: MIPAS observations and radiative transfer simulations

Small volcanic ash particles have long residence times in the troposphere and the stratosphere so that they have significant impact on the Earth's radiative budget and consequently affect climate. For global long-term observations of volcanic aerosol, infrared limb measurements provide excellen...
