Title: | Volcanic SO2 Near-Real Time Retrieval Using Tropomi Data and Neural Networks: The December 2018 Etna Test Case | Issue Date: | 2021 | DOI: | 10.1109/IGARSS47720.2021.9554915 | Keywords: | Volcanic Clouds, Sulfur Dioxide, Sentinel-5p, TROPOMI, Neural Networks | Abstract: | During a volcanic eruption, large quantities of Sulphur dioxide (SO2) are sometimes emitted into the atmosphere. Rapid detection and tracking ofvolcanic SO2 clouds might be beneficial to air traffic security and to predict any correlated impact on the environment; for example, the possibility of acid rain events. Within the presented work, we exploited Sentinel-5p radiance data (Level 1 b) to detect and retrieve SO2 volcanic emissions through a neural network based algorithmthat produces rapid SO2 vertical column estimates. The dataset used for training the net was composed of 13 TROPOMI Level 2 “Offline” SO2 data collected during the Etna Volcano eruption that occurred in 2018 from 22 December to 1 January. Experimental results are very encouraging and open to the perspective ofmake available a new and stable product for monitoring atmospheric SO2 clouds on a global scale based on Sentinel-5p acquisitions. |
