Abstract
Major explosive volcano eruptions, such as that of Mount St Helens in May 1980, inject ash and gas into the upper atmosphere producing aerosol layers which can affect the global energy balance and climate. Eruptions have been studied empirically and found to cause a decrease in the surface air temperature over the northern hemisphere land masses of up to a few tenths of a degree Celsius – an effect which may last for two to three years.
