Retrieval of SO<sub>2</sub> from thermal infrared satellite measurements: correction procedures for the effects of volcanic ash

The simultaneous presence of SO<sub>2</sub> and ash in a volcanic plume can lead to a significant error in the SO<sub>2</sub> column abundance retrieval when multispectral Thermal InfraRed (TIR) data are used. The ash particles within the plume with effective radii from 1 to...
