SATELLITE IMAGES AND RADAR

INTRODUCTION

On this page are satellite images collected from volcanic eruptions seen by weather and environment satellites since 2008. Only eruptions for the Atlantic-European/African hemisphere (0 lat/0 long) are available (= the field of view of Meteosat). Not only Meteosat images are available, but also from other satellites as NOAA, Metop and Aura.

Examples from volcanic eruptions  
Ashclouds from the Karthala during the
25 November 2005 eruption (Meteosat).
Sulferdioxide clouds from the Nyiragongo during the 28 november 2006 eruption (Meteosat).
Ashclouds from the Chaiten during the 3 may 2008 eruption (Metop 2)
Sulferdioxide clouds from the Etna during the 14 may 2008 eruprion (Aura/OMI).
