TTNwatcher Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Hi all, First, no world ending predictions here, I promise! Mainly just curious theory-hammering. Bardarbunga has been undergoing a relatively benign eruption for awhile now, however more recently has shown signs it may have a major caldera eruption (although admittedly not of the subduction zone type). Should that eruption in worst case result in high atmospheric SO2/particulates on the order of Pinatubo (again, theory-hammering, not a terribly likely event!) in the next month or two, would that have an effect on the end of this winter, or next winter, or not much at all? Again, unlikely to be that much, but just curious how such an event might affect the current modeling and predictions. Thanks in advance.

irishbri74 Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 You need a pretty high VEI # to get the particles High enough into the stratosphere. Especially in the tropics where the strat is usually higher up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
