The data is used to detect sulfur dioxide plumes in the atmosphere over these landforms, and to observe the their thermal structure. Data collected from these thermal images can help scientists monitor changes in the thermal behavior of a volcano. The MTI has imaged Mauna Loa, Mt. Stromboli, Mt. Etna, Popocatepetl, and the Taal crater lake, among others.
The caldera at the Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii was considered as a site to compare ground truth measurements with data collected from the satellite.
