TL;DR: The explosive June 1991 eruptions of Pinatubo produced the largest sulfur dioxide cloud detected by the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) during its 13 years of operation: approximately 20 million tons of SO2, predominantly from the cataclysmic June 15th eruption.

TL;DR: In this article, an isentropic trajectory model is used to simulate the evolution of the southern hemisphere SO2 cloud associated with the eruption of Cerro Hudson, which was still clearly observed 19 days after the eruption.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Nimbus 7 Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) was used to quantitatively map volcanic sulfur dioxide plumes on a global scale, and the results showed that the ratio of sulfur dioxide to erupted magma from Ruiz was an order of magnitude greater than in the 1982 eruption of El Chichon or the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) to measure the ratio of backscattered Earth radiance to incoming solar irradiance in the ultraviolet spectrum.

TL;DR: Galunggung volcano, Java, awoke from a 63-year quiescence in April 1982, and erupted sporadically through January 1983, and an estimated 1730 kilotons (kt) of SO2 were outgassed by these explosive eruptions as mentioned in this paper.
