| 1963 eruption of Mount Agung | |
|---|---|
 The western side of Mount Agung (background) viewed from Besakih in 1935. | |
| Volcano | Mount Agung |
| Date | 18 February 1963 - early 1964 |
| Type | Plinian, Peléan |
| Location | Bali, Indonesia |
| VEI | 4 |
| Impact | Ejected at least 15.2 megatonne (Mt) mass of aerosol into the stratosphere - this constituted the largest stratospheric dust veil in over 50 years.[1][2] |
...Agung eruption was proportionately richer in sulfur dioxide and chlorine than either the 1815 eruption of Tambora or 1883 eruption of Krakatoa... decreases in surface temperatures after all three of the eruptions were of similar magnitude...[3]
...initial ejection of dust was at approximately 22 kilometres (14 mi)[4]
..."this eruption is the only one that has occurred since 1912 that had a magnitude large enough to have a significant effect on the transmission of light through the atmosphere because of the enhancement of the stratospheric aerosol mass"[5]
