Abstract

The version 4.0 dataset from the Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment – Fourier Transform Spectrometer (ACE-FTS) on SCISAT, released in March of 2019, has sulfur dioxide (SO₂) volume mixing ratio (VMR) profiles as a routine data product. From this dataset, global SO₂ distributions between the altitudes of 10.5 km and 23.5 km are analyzed. The global distribution of all SO₂ VMR data by altitude is broken down into 30° and 5° latitude zones. Seasonality of the global SO₂ distribution is explored. Volcanic SO₂ plumes are isolated in the dataset and compared with extinction data from the ACE-FTS Imager.
