                                       SACS SO2 NOTIFICATION SYSTEM:
                          a multi-sensor approach with OMI, GOME2, IASI and AIRS

last Notification


SO2 and ash detected by IASI the 16th of June 2011.

The ash cloud is related to the eruption of the Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcano (Central Chile)
which starts on 4 June 2011; the SO2 cloud to the Nabro eruption started on 12 June 2011 in Eritrea.

The Support to Aviation Control Service (SACS) hosted by the Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy aims at supporting the Volcanic Ash Advisory Centers, like Toulouse VAAC and London VAAC.

This is achieved by delivering NEAR REAL-TIME data derived from satellite measurements regarding volcanic emissions by UV-visible (SCIAMACHY, OMI, GOME-2) and InfraRed (AIRS, IASI) instruments.

In case of volcanic eruptions, notifications from our multi-sensors system are sent out by email to interested parties.

   

 DISCLAIMER:   SACS is a free service that provides SO2 notifications
in case of exceptional concentrations detected by satellite instruments.
The usage of the SACS notifications, whether or not these happen to be
"true" or "false" notifications, is entirely in the hands of the Users.
The SACS developers disclaim liability for any kind of use or misuse
of the SACS information, regardless of the application.
