Analysis of the long-range transport of the volcanic plume from the 2021 Tajogaite/Cumbre Vieja eruption to Europe using TROPOMI and ground-based measurements by P. Hedelt, J. Reichardt, F. Lauermann, B. Weiß, N. Theys, A. Redondas, A. Barreto, O. Garcia, D. Loyola

“…This study provides an analysis of <span class="inline-formula">SO₂</span> vertical column density (VCD) and layer height (LH) measurements of the volcanic plume obtained with Sentinel-5 Precursor/TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI), which are compared to the observations at several stations across the Canary Islands. Furthermore, a new modeling approach based on TROPOMI <span class="inline-formula">SO₂</span> VCD measurements and the Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory Model (HYSPLIT) was developed, which confirmed the link between Tajogaite eruptions and Lindenberg measurements. …”
