TROPOMI tracks the path of a volcanic plume


Title: Aeolus tracks a swirling plume

Description: Aeolus observations of winds sweeping across clear skies (Rayleigh winds) and air movements within the plume (Mie winds) were used to identify the swirling anticyclonic nature of the structure. In this figure, an anticyclonic plume can be observed at an altitude of around 17 km.
