Summary

Description
English: This image, derived from data acquired by the Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite on 1 April 2021, shows the Sulphur Dioxide emitted by the Etna volcano in the evening of 31 March. The atmospheric SO2 visible in this image was emitted during the 17th paroxysm of Etna in only 45 days. Unlike previous episodes, in which the volcanic cloud drifted towards the east, on 1 April winds pushed the eruptive column southwards. The plume reached a height of about 7,000 metres above sea level, but had no impact on air traffic at the Catania airport. The monitoring of SO2 emissions is critical as it can affect human health, while volcanic ash is a serious hazard for aviation. The data provided by the Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite is one of the most advanced resources for worldwide SO2 monitoring on a daily basis.
