Official VAAC areas. Observations and forecasts have separate valid times.
NOAA-20 / VIIRS · detections within 20 km of catalogue volcanoes. A heat source does not confirm an eruption.
NOAA-20 / OMPS · total SO₂ column in Dobson units (DU), assuming a plume altitude of 3 km.
Total SO₂ columns show neither an individual volcano’s daily emission rate nor directly the concentration at ground level.
