Map of Stratospheric Sulfur Dioxide

Caption

The map above shows stratospheric sulfur dioxide concentrations on July 28, 2018, as detected by OMPS on the Suomi-NPP satellite, when Ambae was at the peak of its sulfur emissions. For perspective, emissions from Hawaii's Kilauea and the Sierra Negra volcano in the Galapagos are shown on the same day.
