abstract = {Small volcanic ash particles have long residence times in
the troposphere and the stratosphere so that they have
significant impact on the Earth's radiative budget and
consequently affect climate. For global long-term
observations of volcanic aerosol, infrared limb measurements
provide excellent coverage, sensitivity to thin aerosol
layers, and altitude information. The optical properties of
volcanic ash and ice particles, derived from micro-physical
properties, have opposing spectral gradients between 700 and
960 cm−1 for small particle sizes. Radiative transfer
simulations that account for single scattering showed that
the opposing spectral gradients directly transfer to
infrared limb spectra. Indeed, we found the characteristic
spectral signature, expected for volcanic ash, in
measurements of the Michelson Interferometer for Passive
Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS) after the eruption of the
Chilean volcano Puyehue-Cordón Caulle in June 2011. From
these measurements we derived an ash detection threshold
function. The empirical ash detection threshold was
confirmed in an extensive simulations study covering a wide
range of atmospheric conditions, particle sizes and particle
concentrations for ice, volcanic ash and sulfate aerosol.
From the simulations we derived the upper detectable
effective radius of 3.5 μm and the detectable extinction
coefficient range of 5 × 10−3 to 1 × 10−1 km−1. We
also showed that this method is only sensitive to volcanic
ash particles, but not to volcanic sulfate aerosol. This
volcanic ash detection method for infrared limb measurements
is a fast and reliable method and provides complementary
information to existing satellite aerosol products.},
