Abstract

In summer 1783 the French naturalist M. Mourgue de Montredon was the first to link the presence of a sulphurous aerosol cloud in the atmosphere over Europe to volcanic activity in Iceland. Shortly thereafter B. Franklin, J. L. Christ and C. G. Kratzenstein drew similar conclusions independently from each other (Thordarson and Self 2003, and references therein). Meanwhile, the Icelandic priest Jón Steingrímsson documented the eruption in question—the 1783–1784  AD Laki eruption—in extensive detail (Steingrímsson 1788, 1998). Modern “Volcanology” itself is a young science with the atmospheric phenomena observed during the summer of 1783 being considered as the starting point for scientific documentation of the effects of volcanic activity on atmospheric composition, climate and society.

Graf et al. (1997) defined “\(\mathrm{{SO}}_4\) burden efficiency” as the fractional contribution of a sulphur source to the \(\mathrm{{SO}}_4\) burden divided by the fractional source strength.
