Description: Data from NASA’s Aura satellite shows the high sulfur dioxide (SO2) concentrations associated with the volcanic eruption of Mount Agung in eastern Bali, Indonesia, on Monday, November 27, 2017. Prior to and during eruptions, volcanoes like Mount Agung release large amounts of SO2 into the atmosphere, which can act as an early warning. After being released, SO2 can be transformed into tiny sulfate aerosol particles, where they can alter the brightness of clouds and affect regional precipitation patterns.
