About this work
The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument aboard NASA's Aqua satellite detected volcanic sulfur dioxide (SO₂) plumes emanating from Hawaii's Mauna Loa volcano, which started erupting late Sunday, Nov. 27, 2022, at 11:30 p.m. Hawaiian Standard Time (9:30 a.m. UTC, Nov. 28). The AIRS images shown here were taken from seven overpasses, capturing the SO₂ volcanic plumes and its pathways since the eruption. Starting from the upper left frame — captured at 2:41 a.m. HST (12:41 UTC) on Nov.
