Abstract
The Earth is exposed to heating every year due to a rise in the level of carbon dioxide gas. A temporary cooling of the Earth’s surface may occur during the period of volcanic eruption and its injection of sulfur dioxide aerosol (SO2) into the stratosphere, where air pollution stabilizes, and eventually temperatures return to levels. Before the eruption. This is what the current study focused on, as during the eruption of Raykok volcano, which resulted in sulfur dioxide that passed over Libya on the 6th of August 2019, a cooling of temperatures was observed, although its quantities were small compared to the source of the eruption, and an inverse relationship was observed, in the hours of 00-06 for day 6 were low temperatures, noting the arrival of the sulfur dioxide column over Libya, and the correlation coefficient reached - 0.45, despite the fact that the month of August is characterized by hot months, while the correlation coefficient reached -0.41, - 0.22, - 0.16 for the time hour periods 06-12, 12-18, and 18-23:59 min, respectively. The correlation coefficient was observed to decrease with a decrease in sulfur dioxide gas, which was evident when the temperatures returned to normal.
