Volcanic forcing and sulfate deposition online tool

Description

This is an online tool that displays predicted model output (ice sheet sulfate deposition and volcanic radiative forcing) for eruptions with different SO₂ emissions, latitudes, and emission altitudes and for eruptions occurring in January (left cube) and July (right cube).

A full description of the data and its derivation can be found in Marshall et al. (2021) https://doi.org/10.1029/2020JD033578

Plausible eruptions that meet a certain measured deposition constraint can be explored by setting the sliders for a range of Antarctica and Greenland deposition values. The eruptions that are retained can be coloured according to the deposition or volcanic radiative forcing using the 'Model output' buttons. The cubes can be rotated and zoomed.
