Abstract
Based on the two Sheveluch eruption events on April 10, 2023 and August 17, 2024, the comprehensive phenomenon of the two volcanic eruption events is described from the analysis of the seismic activity sequence of the lithosphere to the distribution of atmospheric materials and heat. The seismic distribution in Sheveluch volcanic area is mainly shallow-source (0–70 km) and small-earthquake (ML 3.5–4.0). The April 2023 volcanic eruption released 3692.8 kt SO2 (vs. 26.21 kt in August 2024), with broader dispersion (100°W) and extended atmospheric retention, reflecting fundamental differences in eruption dynamics and atmospheric transport patterns. Based on the time series analysis, SO2 and UV aerosol index exhibit significant responses to the volcano eruption events. Vertical trajectory modeling and aerosol layer height (ALH) results indicate eruption column heights of 10 km and 8–9 km for the April 10, 2023 and August 17, 2024 volcanic events, respectively. Notably, positive temperature anomalies observed in the lower stratosphere show potential correlations with volcanic eruption. Comparing the ozone profile with the temperature profile, the ozone depletion may result in a decrease in stratospheric temperature. Volcanic eruption heights at the tropopause level may have an amplifying impact effect on the lower stratosphere. The description of the horizontal and vertical migration processes of atmospheric materials during volcanic eruption is of great significance for the study of multi-layer coupling mechanism.
期刊介绍:
Atmospheric Environment has an open access mirror journal Atmospheric Environment: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
Atmospheric Environment is the international journal for scientists in different disciplines related to atmospheric composition and its impacts. The journal publishes scientific articles with atmospheric relevance of emissions and depositions of gaseous and particulate compounds, chemical processes and physical effects in the atmosphere, as well as impacts of the changing atmospheric composition on human health, air quality, climate change, and ecosystems.
