Astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) photographed these striking views of Pavlof Volcano on May 18, 2013. The oblique perspective from the ISS reveals the three dimensional structure of the ash plume, which is often obscured by the top-down view of most remote sensing satellites.
Situated in the Aleutian Arc about 625 miles (1,000 kilometers) southwest of Anchorage, Pavlof began erupting on May 13, 2013. The volcano jetted lava into the air and spewed an ash cloud 20,000 feet (6,000 meters) high. When photograph ISS036-E-2105 (top) was taken, the space station was about 475 miles south-southeast of the volcano (49.1° North latitude, 157.4° West longitude). The volcanic plume extended southeastward over the North Pacific Ocean. Image Credits: ISS Crew Earth Observations experiment and Image Science & Analysis Laboratory, Johnson Space Center.

The honest models do take that into consideration. But the honest models are not used by the Green Lobby...
ReplyDeleteIf they do, it's all by best estimates of what's going into the atmosphere, in what quantity, and quality, and how long it lasts. Guesswork, at best.
DeleteIt's ALL guesswork and mathematical models. I thought that there was a lot more voodoo science incorporated into it than I do now. The head of Cal Tech's planetary science department works with me now and his specialty is climate modeling. A lot of volcanism can be added as an average variable that is included based on historical information. It's how they've done climate modeling on extraterrestrial worlds and is quite interesting.
