The synthetic measurements are generated using MODTRAN RTM for defined volcanic cloud configurations. The results, presented as the percentage difference between the retrieved values and the true values used for the synthetic data generation, indicate maximum differences of +/- 15% and +/- 10% for all the procedures and for ash and SO</span><sub><span style="font-family: Palatino,Book Antiqua;">2</span></sub><span style="font-family: Palatino,Book Antiqua;"> retrievals respectively. A sensitivity analysis has been also realized to investigate the influence of volcanic cloud altitude and water vapour profile on SO</span><sub><span style="font-family: Palatino,Book Antiqua;">2</span></sub><span style="font-family: Palatino,Book Antiqua;"> retrievals at 7.3 and 8.6 </span><span style="font-family: Palatino,Book Antiqua;">micron. Results confirm the high sensitivity of the 7.3 </span><span style="font-family: Palatino,Book Antiqua;">micron retrieval to the volcanic cloud altitude and show that the SO</span><sub><span style="font-family: Palatino,Book Antiqua;">2</span></sub><span style="font-family: Palatino,Book Antiqua;"> total masses estimated at 7.3 and 8.6 </span><span style="font-family: Palatino,Book Antiqua;">micron separately can be used to improve the information on the volcanic cloud altitude. Finally, the water vapour profile is used to compute the minimum altitude over which the 7.3 </span><span style="font-family: Palatino,Book Antiqua;">m retrieval is effective.</span></em></span></p>
