two facts: 1. Volcanic lightning is caused by static electricity in ash clouds. 2. Volcanic eruptions can form ice in the stratosphere. #taysci5
The #eruption of #Calbuco#volcano (#Chile) 4 years ago was one of the largest explosive eruptions of the last decade. Animation shows the SO2 cloud detected by @JPSSProgram OMPS - note how the cloud gets caught in an anticyclone off S. Africa before zipping off to the SE.
Looking at the images above, you can see why you might not want to inhale volcanic ash. You can find volcanic ash health & safety information here (by the group led by @claire_horwell): https://t.co/vysDfuG4E3
