Sulfur dioxide contributions to the atmosphere by volcanoes
Stoiber RE and Jepson A. 1973. Sulfur dioxide contributions to the atmosphere by volcanoes. Science. 182(4112):577-578
The first extensive measurements by remote-sensing correlation spectrometry of the sulfur dioxide emitted by volcanic plumes indicate that on the order of 103 metric tons of sulfur dioxide gas enter the atmosphere daily from Central American volcanoes. Extrapolation gives a minimum estimate of an annual amount of sulfur dioxide emitted from the world's volcanoes of about 107 metric tons.
