Scope Volcanic phenomena, such as pyroclastic flows and tephra falls during eruptions, lead to loss of human life and damage to social infrastructure. Atmospheric phenomena like powerful typhoons, tornadoes, and heavy rainfall caused by organized cumulonimbus clouds are also examples of extreme events. Because these events develop quickly and occur locally, we may not always detect them with standard observation networks. Recently, advances in multi-sensing technology have improved efforts to monitor these events. We will discuss the current state of multi-sensing technology in volcanology and meteorology, highlighting the discoveries made through this technology.
