A new simplified approach for simultaneous retrieval of SO<sub>2</sub> and ash content of tropospheric volcanic clouds: an application to the Mt Etna volcano

A new procedure is presented for simultaneous estimation of SO<sub>2</sub> and ash abundance in a volcanic plume, using thermal infrared (TIR) MODIS data. Plume altitude and temperature are the only two input parameters required to run the procedure, while surface emissivity, temperature...
