Also impressive the total ejected volume, 120 km3.
How about CO2 emissions, if anybody's wondering? In [1] I got an estimation of the Pinatubo CO2 emissions, at about 50 MT of CO2. Since Pinatubo ejected a total volume of 10km3 [2], it would follow that Hatebe released about 0.6 GT of C02 in the air. For comparison we put abotut 30 GT of CO2 in the air each year.
