Scientific paper

In this paper, we use the error introduced into the multichannel sea surface temperature (MCSST) fields by the volcanically-produced stratospheric aerosol layer to make a relative comparison of the size of the El Chichon and Mount Pinatubo eruptions. We also use aerosol optical thickness (AOT) estimates from the visible reflectance channel of the AVHRR to verify that the MCSST errors are indeed related to aerosol particle concentration in the stratosphere. During the first three months following both eruptions, these comparisons reveal that Mount Pinatubo introduced slightly less than twice the amount of aerosol into the stratosphere as El Chichon.
