While suspended in Earth's atmosphere, fine ash influences radiative transfer, weather, and climate (e.g., [Newhall and Self, 1982][1]). Sulfate aerosol, also in volcanic ash clouds, dominates atmospheric effects, having stratospheric residence times of months to years ([Robock, 2000][2]), so large
