A two-dimensional stratospheric model of the dispersion of aerosols from the Fuego volcanic eruption

Observational data of the pre- and post-volcanic aerosols from the eruption of the Volcan de Fuego in Guatemala (15 deg N) in October 1974 were used in conjunction with predictions of a 2-D circulation model to gain better understanding of the transport, chemical and sedimentation processes which determine the stratospheric aeosol layer.
