Improving the satellite record of Hunga Tonga volcanic aerosol — This project will focus on analysis of data from the CSA-supported OSIRIS instrument. We will analyze the retrieved aerosol and investigate the systematic impacts in order to understand the limitations of the OSIRIS measurements of Hunga Tonga aerosol. This research responds directly to CSA objectives by applying satellite data analysis of this record breaking volcanic eruption to improve understanding of extreme events and climate change. This work will transfer knowledge to government to improve climate prediction and adaptation. This project will train young researchers and contribute to new understanding of satellite remote sensing and the study of climate from space.
