Modeling of 2008 Kasatochi volcanic sulfate direct radiative forcing: assimilation of OMI SO<sub>2</sub> plume height data and comparison with MODIS and CALIOP observations

Volcanic SO<sub>2</sub> column amount and injection height retrieved from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) with the Extended Iterative Spectral Fitting (EISF) technique are used to initialize a global chemistry transport model (GEOS-Chem) to simulate the atmospheric transport and li...
