Call for papers for IAVCEI session VS32 Weather and Climate Effects of
Volcanic Eruptions at IUGG 2015
Convener: Anja Schmidt (University of Leeds, UK)
Co-conveners: Alan Robock (Rutgers University, USA), Jim Haywood
(University of Exeter, UK)
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention to our session VS32 Weather and
Climate Effects of Volcanic Eruptions at the 26th IUGG General Assembly
2015, held in Prague (Czech Republic) from 22 June - 2 July 2015. *The**
**abstract submission deadline is January 31, 2015.* We would welcome your
contributions on the weather and climate effects of volcanic eruptions
including papers on the 1815 Tambora eruption since 2015 marks the
eruption’s bicentennial anniversary.
Confirmed invited speakers:
Ben Santer (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, U.S.A)
Myriam Khodri (Laboratoire d'Océanographie et du Climat, France)
Davide Zanchettin (University of Venice, Italy)
*Abstract submission (deadline January 31):**

Session description:
Large volcanic eruptions like the 1991 Mt. Pinatubo eruption caused global
cooling and winter warming in the Northern Hemisphere for one to two
years. The year 2015 marks the bicentennial anniversary of the Mt. Tambora
eruption, which was the largest volcanic eruption in recorded history. A
series of smaller eruptions during the past decade may have slightly
slowed the rate of global warming. Efforts at climate prediction on
seasonal, annual, and decadal scales need to incorporate the effects of
volcanic eruptions in their prediction schemes along with oceanic
interactions to produce skillful forecasts. This symposium welcomes papers
on the effects of volcanic eruptions on weather and climate, particularly
plans and methods for incorporating observations of volcanic gas and
aerosol clouds from explosive eruptions to aid weather and climate
forecasts following an eruption. Papers on portions of this process,
including remote sensing of eruptions, even ones of smaller magnitude than
1991 Mt. Pinatubo, such as Kasatochi in 2008, Sarychev in 2009, or Nabro
in 2011, and on the effects of series of these small-magnitude eruptions
on weather and climate are also welcome.
We are looking forward to receiving your contributions.
