******************************************************************** From: Christopher Lynnes <Chris.Lynnes@xxxxxxxx> ******************************************************************** We have a satellite data search tool (http://mirador.gsfc.nasa.gov), which has an event gazetteer, and we would like to add volcanic eruptions to that. The idea would be that if you search for "OMI SO2" as keyword and "Popocatepetl" in the Event field, you should get a list of just of the Ozone Monitoring Instrument orbits that cross Popocatepetl on the days it was erupting. To make this work, we need a machine-readable database with eruption location and date. Does anyone know of any, and if so, have any recommendations as to which one to use? I have looked at the NGDC Significant Volcanic Eruption Database, but that does not have very many (only 9 since the year 2000). The SI Weekly Volcano Report is much more comprehensive, but eruption dates are in the free-text, even in the RSS feed, requiring some text mining. There must be a structured XML database out there somewhere with similar info, yes?
