I live in La Reunion island, a French department located in the South West Indian Ocean (close to Mauritius). One year ago an eruption occured on the island southeast region and generated a lot of SO2. We were not able to track it as you did, but we had a quite nice pass from Aqua ( 5th avril, 2007) which put into relief the SO2 clouds (bluish clouds) and their complex way around the steepy island. We superposed the 500m high winds from our limited area model (resolution : 10 km) that explain quite well why the west coast was so impacted by the SO2.
