AVHRR Satellite Images

The raw AVHRR data was acquired via NOAA's Satellite Active Archive and processed by Dave Schneider at Michigan Tech. The estimates of silicate mass and effective radius were conducted using the technique of Wen and Rose. For more information about the discrimination of volcanic clouds using AVHRR click here.
