Main Features“Easy” to implement techniques:
BT11.0um-BT12.0um
BT11.0um-BT3.9um (night)Estimated “reflected” 3.9um (day)False color 3.9/11.0/12.0um product BT8.5um-BT12.0um (ash and/or aerosol)
Examples of volcanic constituents vs. dust with GOES and MODIS data

Ash/Dust in the 3.9 – 11.0 um range• DAY: higher reflectance for ash/dust clouds and water
droplets; lower reflectance for ice particles• NIGHT: BT11.0-BT3.9 = negative for thin ash/dust clouds
= negative for ice cloud = positive for water cloud
Volcanic Aerosol vs. Ash/Dust in the 8.5 – 12.0 um range
• BT8.3um – BT12.0um = negative for SO2 and H2SO4 • BT8.3um – BT12.0um = negative for silicates, but sensitive to
particle size.
Ash/Dust in the 11.0 – 12.0 um range• BT11.0um-BT12.0um = negative for ash/dust
= positive for ice/water cloud

Summary remarks and points to ponder
• Variability of eruption cloud:
If multi-channel imagery is available, use it!
• What is the significance of large (or small)
BT10.7-BT12.0?
• What are we seeing using the 8.x um region (ash/dust/aerosol)?
• How can we best combine this information with other information on SO2 detection?
