Collaborative Research on the Climatic Effects of the 1783-1784 Laki Volcanic Eruption

该项目将模拟1783-1784年冰岛的拉基火山喷发，以评估高纬度喷发对气候系统的影响。历史数据足够详细，可以高度自信地估计火山喷发产生的辐射强迫。对气体和颗粒排放的估计将提供给大气环流模型，并将其结果与观测结果进行比较。广泛的影响探索火山喷发对极地对流层的影响对科学界和公众都有广泛的好处，因为北极对气候的微小变化极其敏感，无论是自然的还是人为的。

This project will model the Laki volcanic eruption in Iceland in 1783-1784 in order to assess the impact of high latitude eruptions on the climate system. Historical data are sufficiently detailed to permit an estimate of the radiative forcing arising from the eruption with a high degree of confidence. Estimates of gaseous and particulate emissions will be fed to an atmospheric circulation model and its results compared with observations.Broader impactsThe opportunity to explore the impact of volcanic eruptions on the polar troposphere has wide-ranging benefits to the scientific community and public alike, since the Arctic is extremely sensitive to even small changes in climate, whether they are natural or anthropogenic in origin.
