Fig. 7: Key factors influencing the aerosol effective radius evolution for the large-magnitude eruption.

From: Climate change modulates the stratospheric volcanic sulfate aerosol lifecycle and radiative forcing from tropical eruptions

Fig. 7

Left a time series of the global-mean flux from the aerosol accumulation mode into the aerosol coarse mode (mol cm−3 s−1). Center b 3-year global-mean aerosol effective radius (μm) as a function of the tropical S burden e-folding time (month). Right c Global-mean anomaly of binary homogeneous nucleation rate of sulfuric acid and water (mol cm−3 s−1) for the first 3 post-eruption months. Error bars show one standard deviation across ensemble members. The HIST scenario represents the historical climate and the SSP585 scenario is an upper-end future climate scenario. SSP585_HIH is as SSP585 but uses SO2 injection heights consistent with the HIST scenario.
