SO2 high concentration events around Sakurajima and
multi-point observation of volcanic clouds in 2009-2012

Volcanic Cloud Research Group, Kagoshima Univ. and Kumamoto Univ.

High concentration events of SO2 at the surface in and around Sakurajima Volcano are compared with the flow of ash clouds recorded by multi-point observation, concentrating on the following days in 2009-2012:

2009.1.31 : Arimura very high, SPM also

2009.9.18 : Toward SW, Arimura -> Akamizu etc.

2009.9.19 : Weak wind, Akamizu, SW, Taniyama

2009.11.3 : Arimura -> Many points W-SW, CityHall-Taniyama

2009.12.14 : Arimura extremely high <-> Kanoya

2009.12.18-19 : Arimura very high, Kanoya

2010.2.6 : Arimura <-> many others S-W

2010.2.19 : Arimura very high, Kanoya, HigashiKushira

2012.2.2 : Kanoya, HigashiKushira in the morning

2012.2.20 : Fine, mild wind to SE -> E -> N

2012.9.26 : Akamizu, Taniyama

3012.9.27 : Akamizu, Taniyama

2012.10.12 : Fine, weak wind, Vissibility 10-15 km

2012.10.29 : 9 -> 2 m/s, Arimura -> Akamizu, CityHall -Kiire
