Abstract

The hypothesis suggested by V.V. Zuev with coauthors in 2014 about the possibility of formation of nanosize black carbon particles in the eruptive column of a volcanic eruption with VEI ≥ 4 is discussed. Probable characteristics of volcanogenic soot particles and their distinction from stratospheric black carbon particles of other origins are analyzed. Suitable instrumental techniques for particle detection are briefly reviewed. Observational facts of possible earlier detection of volcanogenic soot particles are given. The idea of a complex experiment for observational confirmation of the hypothesis is suggested.

火山灰的假说及其观测确认的可能性

摘要

讨论了VV Zuev与合著者在2014年提出的关于在VEI≥4的火山喷发的喷发柱中形成纳米尺寸黑碳颗粒的可能性的假设。分析了火山灰颗粒的可能特征及其与其他来源的平流层黑碳颗粒的区别。简要回顾了用于粒子检测的合适仪器技术。给出了可能的早期发现火山灰颗粒的观察事实。提出了一种用于观察证实该假设的复杂实验的想法。
