Summary
The European Space Agency's EarthCARE satellite captured vertical profiles of the volcanic plume from Anak Krakatau's eruption, providing valuable data for air safety and climate research. The Darwin VAAC, operated by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, integrated EarthCARE's data into their monitoring tools. EarthCARE's instruments, including ATLID, CPR, MSI, and BBR, measured the altitude and concentration of aerosols, offering insights into ash sedimentation rates and long-range transport processes. The data helped aviation authorities avoid flying through hazardous areas, and scientists used it to better understand the behavior of volcanic aerosols.
