Comparison of ground based and TOMS measurements of SO2 from volcanic emissionsThe Brewer Ozone Spectrometer is being used in the World Ozone Network to monitor ozone and SO sub 2. SO sub 2 from natural as well as anthropogenic sources are measured. It has been demonstrated that SO sub 2 interferes with total ozone values as measured by the Dobson Spectrophotometer and the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS). A small amount of manmade SO sub 2 is difficult to detect and quantify by TOMS because it is located near the surface. However, larger amounts of SO sub 2 injected into the stratosphere from volcanic emissions are detected by TOMS.
