AIRS Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) Data Product detects Mount Redoubt Eruption Cloud
On March 22, Alaska's Mount Redoubt, which had been seismically restless for several weeks, erupted explosively, sending several clouds of ash and volcanic gas into the atmosphere, and causing local floods due to melting ice and snow on the volcanic peak. Ash in the atmosphere caused the cancellation of many flights in and out of the Anchorage airport.
