COV7 Workshop W2: Volcano Monitoring Techniques
14 Dec 2012 | Contributor(s): Jeffrey Johnson, Nick Varley, Eliza S Calder, Gregory Waite, Jo Gottsmann, Simon Carn
Innovation in volcano monitoring techniques is rapid. In the search for eruption precursors, the more traditional areas of seismicity, geodesy and geochemistry are now routinely complemented by studies of acoustic or thermal emission. We are also beginning to better understand the significance of...

OMIplot
13 May 2011 | Contributor(s): Simon Carn
OMIplot is a software package that can be used to ingest, visualize and analyze sulfur dioxide (SO2) data from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) aboard NASA's Aura satellite. The OMI SO2 measurements can be used to track drifting volcanic eruption clouds and study volcanic degassing. OMI...
