Abstract
The satellite images of volcanic clouds in Kyushu, Japan during September-N ovember 1989 were studied in connection with the mountain site measurement of atmospheric qualities at Unzen-Nodake and the SO2 concentration data at Aso Volcano Museum. The images strongly indicate that many high concentrati on events of SO2 were the results of the long-range transport of volcanic g as from Mt. Aso and Mt. Sakurujima to these stations. Brief comments on the 2000 eruption of Myake-jima volcano are added.
