7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7 From: Thomas Aubry <thom.aubry@xxxxxxxxx> Dear colleagues, We are delighted to announce that the Volc2Clim (â??From volcanic sulfur emissions to climate forcing and responseâ??) tool is now publicly available at https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://volc2clim.bgs.ac.uk/__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!edZD2nmL1XpOpOdh562xVgDe5YMNyIm1uDFuAVuj0iJK77PwN2tlmlA2sErzvsTo56JIUI7u8pc0w6_3$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://volc2clim.bgs.ac.uk/__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!Y9gaKd2XOAAtypmzivrL8yQrWt7qK7d46JuZhXrp_Ha0ekY1UX4lh1S2EJoRv02ic0QjP0HGLlG13O8qww$>. Volc2Clim is an online webtool where you can input eruption source parameters characterizing an explosive volcanic SOâ?? injection to calculate stratospheric aerosol optical properties, global-mean radiative forcing, and changes in global-mean surface temperature in response to the volcanic sulfur emission. Volc2Clim combines published, simple models for volcanic aerosol forcing and climate. Outputs include simple figures and csv files with displayed data, as well as netcdf files with 4-dimensional aerosol properties that can be used to run global climate model simulations of explosive volcanic eruptions. We hope that you will find Volc2Clim useful for research, teaching, or outreach purposes and welcome any feedback! We are aiming to regularly update this tool as science and community needs progress, e.g. by making it applicable for pyrocumulonimbus aerosol injection or explosive volcanic eruptions co-emitting large amounts of water vapor or halogen gases with sulfur. All the best, The Volc2Clim team Anja Schmidt, Thomas Aubry, Richard Rigby, John Stevenson, and Sue Loughlin 7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7 ------------------------------
