Microwave Limb Sounder measurement of stratospheric SO2 from the Mt. Pinatubo volcanoThe Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) experiment on the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) began atmospheric measurements on September 19, 1991. Residual SO2 from the Pinatubo eruption was detected immediately after instrument activation. The SO2 was 1ocated in a tropical band with peak mixing ratios of about 15 ppbv near 26 km altitude. The observed decay of SO2 has provided an estimate of the OH concentration in the plume.
