The increased volcanic activity of Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki in November 2024 had a significant impact on environmental changes. The eruption widely disseminated the gas, as evidenced by the increase in SO2 levels. Unstable atmospheric circumstances, such as low-pressure cyclogenesis, increase the distribution of SO₂ gas across a larger area. The research analyzes volcanic activity utilizing remote sensing technologies, specifically Sentinel-5P TROPOMI satellite imagery, to monitor SO₂ gas emissions. The results show that volcanic emissions have had a big effect on the local atmospheric dynamics, causing the air pressure to drop to 1007.4 mb, the average temperature to rise to 29.2°C, and the regional weather system to change. These results underscore the importance of incorporating remote sensing technologies into early warning systems and volcanic hazard mitigation. This method enhances preparedness and response strategies by offering a model that is applicable to other volcanic regions through the provision of real-time monitoring.
